Professor Watchlist Down What happened to the "professor watchlist"? It appears to have been deleted. But Turning Point USA won't talk about it. See today's Guardian profile on what's going on with the organization founded a year ago by slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. #AcademicSky

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Rockers (and Mockers), help me out with your wisdom please. Songs that have the rising "ah, ah, ah, etc." like "Twist and Shout" include: "Let's Dance" "I Love L.A." "Footloose" Can you all think of similar?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

November was a binary choice. You can pretend else, but the fact is Gaza and the Palestinian future is now more vulnerable, not less. It's why Netanyahu resisted a ceasefire and hostage release until after the election. He wanted Trump. He got him. The Palestinians will lose.

150-200 cables are damaged each year, 15% (7-43) by anchors. If we assume Baltic maritime activity is 5% of the global total (likely way too high) Baltic Sea ought to see 1.5 incidents per year. 2023 & 2024 averaged at 6 breaks annually, 4 x higher. Map, visual aid for eyeballing 5%.

[In solemn Herzog tones] Observe the endless suffering of these cartoon beings. The duck is shot point-blank—yet he endures. The coyote is pulverized by anvils — yet he persists. Their immortality mocks the human condition, stripping life of meaning. In this perpetual loop, death is but a punchline
