You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

I hope at least one of the tech billionaires is now rethinking what they might do with the rest of their life given Dolly Parton’s example.

"Election officials and lawyers noted how surreal it is, even after a decade of Trumpism, to treat the nation’s duly elected president as the primary threat to the freedom and fairness of American elections." Yes. Always keep this front and center.

Trumpstein had 300 Capital One accounts closed for concerns about money laundering. A Mafioso president and yet the press and GOP don’t blink an eye?!!!! #USPolitics

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

As Syracuse gives up the ghost, we realise we lost the universities years ago. The research universities have become branches of McKinsey. 😡 We should fight for the so-called “useless subjects.” Only they will save us from the perils of AI, or at least give us the tools to fight it. #AcademicSky

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Clifton Crais’s book out in UK today:“In this radical rethinking of modernity,…Crais argues that the era between 1750 and the early 1900s – seen by many as the birth of the Anthropocene – should instead be known as the Mortecene: the Age of Killing.” #academics www.panmacmillan.com/authors/clif...
