I like cats. And politics. And history. In that order.

Per audio obtained by NYT: Ken Paxton, asked by donors if Trump is "a little bit of a drag": "When we did that convention, it dropped our numbers. Everybody's numbers dropped." Trump picked him over John Cornyn.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

I am tired of having to pretend that the value of studying my discipline solely rests on the "marketable skills" we teach. Sometimes things are just worth knowing and doing because they make your life bigger and richer.

This is legit but the history is messier. Some public colleges were free; others were just cheap because states heavily subsidized them. That support declined for several reasons, including 1970s fiscal crises & competing state spending. Integration was part of disinvestment, but not its sole cause.

Odd, that Donald Trump has latched onto things being done/built to protect "national security" when Donald Trump, a man who is said to have sold *highly* classified documents, is currently the nation's biggest security threat.

Given Melania’s close ties with Jeffrey Epstein, human trafficking may be one of the rare issues to which she brings expertise.

We're all gonna get nuked because the people in charge believe everything a chatbot produces is real and true (and the people working for the people in charge think using a chatbot to generate an intelligence report is absolutely cool). I fucking hate this timeline

Right. People say AIs are just “probable next word” machines. But if I say “What’s the answer to this famously unsolved math problem?” giving the “probable next word” requires a conceptual model capable of solving the problem. At some point accurate prediction requires comprehensive understanding.

Step 1: Slip Trump a copy of the 1951 Defense Agreement, but with the name changed. Step 2: Describe it in the most favorable light possible, since he won't read it anyway. Step 3: Trump goes on "Truth Social" and proclaims himself a genius negotiator.

Once again, the median pay for an adjunct professor in the United States of America is $3,500 per course. Not per month, per course.

Mitch McConnell was out three months. He was paid for every day of it. A worker in Kentucky with the same fall gets whatever their boss feels like giving them, because this country guarantees zero paid sick days and McConnell never let a bill changing that reach the floor.

My read is that there aren’t five votes to let Trump literally rig elections. Roberts and Barrett won’t greenlight overt election subversion or chaotic, illegal interference with voting. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch aren’t reliable but don’t love the chaos either. Thomas and Alito want to end democracy.

I am driven to distraction by how *not angry* so many of my electeds seem. When they sit around and blab about policy this and policy that and blah blah blah, what I hear is "This is an interesting intellectual exercise for me." You should be barely able to contain yourself in public.

LEFT: Donald Trump today, dozing off as the names of those who died on 9/11 are read. RIGHT: Joe Biden today, paying respects to those lost on 9/11. Who's "sleepy" now, loser?

“Deep red Texas” is filled with proud conservatives who aren’t afraid to speak their mind, and it’s also a place where Trump supporters are terrified to say so in public because the state is overrun with scary leftists who will ostracize them.

SILENT MAJORITY: Texas conservatives say they hide their Trump support while 300 Democrats rally at Dallas City Hall calling the GOP fascist.
Protesters held signs equating MAGA with fascism and speakers ripped everything from Epstein to data centers from the stage.
Meanwhile, Trump supporters in deep-red Texas say they stay quiet at work, at school, and even among friends — with one man admitting he tells coworkers he's a "Bill Maher-style centrist" just to avoid conflict.

My question is, what exactly are these tax benefits? Who is getting them? Here (Midwest), even Trump voters hate them because small towns are offering massive tax breaks to build them, which puts pressure on already squeezed budgets. The jobs created are not enough to benefit the community.

Hoover didn’t cause the Great Depression. He was president when it hit and didn’t know how to fight it. Bush didn’t cause the financial crisis. He was president when it hit, did some things to fight it. Trump directly caused economic problems with tariffs, corruption, and war. And it’ll get worse.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.
