Don't think I've ever been as terrified in all the Trump security crises. As @pkrugman.bsky.social said, "It’s the most astonishing, awful thing that I’ve ever seen, and we’ve all seen a lot of awful things." Mainly as cope, and to teach it, I keep asking why. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

You don’t owe condolences, prayers, or thoughts to anyone you don’t actually give a fuck about. Public officials? maybe, not really. You as a private citizen? No way, go live your life. Mourn only the laws that are broken, or any injustice allowed to exist. It’s not that deep.

I won’t vote for him in the Dem primary. But it’s good to see Dems finally fighting back against Trump.

President Macron and Chancellor Merz want to talk to Trump on the phone at the weekend. So it's another disappointment. Not yet.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

My theory is that there are 3 types here: 1. Those who don’t know what’s happening 2. Those who like what’s happening 3. Those who are trying to resist what’s happening I don’t think there’s apathy. There is, however, a lot of feeling beat down. Unsure how to resist. That kind of stuff.

The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources: 1. Federal grants 2. Private gifts/endowments 3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students) 4. State $ For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.

This happened to me recently. I was having an entire repository scanned for any inconsistencies. The AI then started editing files it wasn't supposed to — ones that had been painstakingly written and not yet committed. The agent was apologizing while actively destroying my setup.

Advising women to get helicopter insurance in case they need a lifeflight because a hospital won't provide them care is not a place that would have existed in the country I was born into, but that country exists in name only anymore. There is no man who would be denied care in the United States.
