Anakin&Padme 4 panel meme, with Anakin announcing “We’re using AI instead of biased humans”. Palme asks “What did you train the AI on?”. Anakin looks on blankly. Palme repeats, “What did you train the AI on?”

Nick Adams, who has marketed himself as an “alpha male,” will serve in a new role focused on “tourism, exceptionalism and values.”

A slide of imperative verbs (addressed to himself? Or to the narrative?) gleaned from Dickens’s memoranda and notes as part of www.dickensnotes.com project and a session with the manuscripts themselves in the V&A National Art Library. Thanks to Anna Gibson and Adam Grener for a great workshop!

Ngl, I low-key liked the new WH adaptation. All the characters hateful, everything Nelly’s fault, absolutely insane at times. Just as it should be, except for the casting. Had no idea Isabella was such a *freak*. 😬 Don’t @ me.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits:

paid for by cuts to reproductive health care

paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid

paid for by cuts to SNAP

paid for by cuts to clean energy projects

paid for by cuts to obesity prevention

paid for by cuts to disaster response

paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

Completely indefensible, those 7 Dems who “protected their seats” by voting to fund DHS. Indefensible, cynical, smug, narcissistic, immoral. Jeffries needs to resign his leadership role for letting them off the hook.

Feel like I grew up to Rob Reiner. First became politically aware watching him in All in the Family. Watched film after excellent film. Whispered “amen” to so many of his political takes the last 10 years. What a loss. And apparently, what a tragic and terrible end. Rest in Power.

At "Why major/minor in English?" event last night, 4 current majors were eloquent, charming, incisive & practical about why this study matters so much to them personally now & how they're getting incredible internships & insights about its value to their futures. The humanities matter y'all. #HeyMac
