The State college president, who could only get the job once the board of trustees lowered the educational requirements for the position, wouldn't want his college-aged daughter reading this material. But this is what college is for--to foster critical thinking. Exactly what MAGA needs to suppress

My favorite sentence: And Americans are supposed to be impressed by these overgrown children showing off their masculine prowess while failing at their basic adult responsibilities." You'll know who he's talking about. There's $ to be made and power to be had by pushing this toxic ideal
The SECDEF is drunk on his power and our wealth.
Paul ByrneThe U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.
Trump is flailing around in desperation for something to save him from his own failures. "Communist" doesn't have the same bite as it did in the Khrushchev era. How could it, when Trump holds Putin in highest regard, fawns all over him, is clearly afraid of him.
"The amendment also imposes a 12-year term limit on lawmakers and sets a retirement age of 70 for Constitutional Court judges..." What we could achieve with a supermajority in Congress...
The US basically forced Ukraine into developing its drone capabilities when we refused to help them "close the sky" in the beginning months of Putin's invasion. Ironic how that now seems to be the future of warfare while we are stuck in legacy systems and pumping up soldiers with testosterone.
This HAS to enough for a wrongful death suit against the shooter and individuals all the way up the org chart.
Meanwhile, data centers are using up all our power, water, and computer memory. Where is the competition? "By economic and engineering measures, generative AI might be the worst technology ever deployed." "LLMs do not scale logarithmically... In technical terms, LLMs scale quadratically."
The patriarchy is very deeply ingrained in our society. Men on the left are just as molded by it as men on the right • when it comes to sexual abuse and intimate partner violence. • when a woman and a man say the same thing, they ignore the woman and think the man has the best ideas.
What Women Saw in Graham PlatnerOnce again, a man fails them.web.archive.orgThis will be harder to fight than the murders in MN as the local gov't is on the side of ICE.
Of all the taxpayer $ Trump spends on his own pet projects, this one is infuriating because it is such a shady deal. If he claims it as his, it's an emolument, and unconstitutional. If it belongs to the USA, he can't take it with him when he leaves. All the $ spent on it and it isn't secure enough.
Anyone with a lead, pls respond to @gillianbrockell.com
Gillian BrockellGuys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.
They caved. Wonder what the "thorough briefing" consisted of.
