Men also love to use the word "agency" against rape victims. It's all over Twitter right now. Well educated men especially think this is an intellectual argument. Poor Jane Doe.

The pile has since grown. So pleased for Anne Carson, but felt her response to the @nobelprize.org sums it up quite nicely:
It was a short call, Carlberg said:
All the poet would say was she was "in Iceland," where she was

They don't even try to hide their bias; look at the damage they have caused. For example, what rational person could conclude that the Constitution grants the President immunity?

Glorious famed Maroon Bells is in big trouble, abandoned by NPS, whose budget Trump has cut by 75 %. He can now claim we can’t afford these mega-popular vast public lands and they must be privatized.

ProPublica dropped the first story in a new series on corruption in Congress, and it starts with Sen. Susan Collins. A defense contractor illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro-Collins PAC. The company’s CEO later pleaded guilty to unlawful campaign contributions.

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

I wonder if the NY Times has a Euphemism Desk to soften its stories. Trump lawlessness is an “expansive interpretation of presidential power”? A Trump-UAE crypto scheme “blurred the line between foreign policy and private enterprise.” This thread imagines history as written by NYT’s Euphemism Desk.🧵

We’re on a path to lose the Senate but win the House. Let’s make sure we win both. We can’t move forward with the plan to expand the supreme court if we don’t win the senate.

BREAKING WaPo: A federal judge just ruled that the Trump admin broke the law when it ordered a 50% cut in FEMA employees — including thousands of on-call workers who respond to disasters.
washingtonpost.com
Federal judge rules Trump plan to cut FEMA by 50 percent was unlawful
The judge said the plan, put together by DHS, appeared as if it was "pulled from thin air" and would impede FEMA's ability to fulfill its legally mandated duty to respond to disasters.

I see the NYT is still platforming 'dei crushed white men' bullsh*t. Here it's buried in a 'why rural themed pop culture' is so popular in a piece written by a Princeton grad who lives in New York City. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/o...
Today, it’s country music that — for all its commercial success — represents the underdog. As diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives accord advantages to everyone except straight white men; as globalization and an urban, knowledge-based economy have impoverished and emptied out rural communities; and as trust in institutions including higher education and the federal government declines, the culture of rural working-class whites can symbolize an unconstrained way of life that stands apart from the stifling, all-encompassing H.R. bureaucracy that everyone else lives in.
