Minka’s Evening Report: What are the odds of having a neighbor move in next door who has the same last name as the neighbor on the other side? They aren’t kin. And the name isn’t unique, but it also isn’t ordinary like Garcia or Thompson or something. Later, frens!

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

See, this is only a joke if you think women's basketball is a joke. How can they get their knickers all twisted over the idea of keeping women's sports pure if they're snickering behind their fists about college women's basketball? Lord, these people are awful. So. Fucking. Awful.

Yeah. That’s exactly what happened.
After the hearing, Schmitt insisted he'd gotten nothing wrong, but he seemed less sure Smith had committed perjury.

That Senator knew exactly what he was doing. He knew that accusation was wrong. But the Republican propaganda machinery is built to create a 'moment' then rightwing influencers/Fox would take clips of it and run with it to potentially smear Jack Smith, calling him a dirtbag. That is their MO.

Given where we are, and culture here, more than few students are performers or musicians of various kinds. My older actor student, a great big guy softened a bit in late 50s, told me this afternoon that he’d just been in a short art film. He said he was nude in it, so I thanked him for the warning.

According to leaks, Anthropic reported a $42B net loss in 2025. This was revealed as Anthropic is preparing a massive IPO and even bigger investments in AI infrastructure. How worried should we be about the AI bubble bursting?

Trump thinks that because he's changed the name of AI, now all concerns expressed about it previously are a hoax. The illogic is breathtaking. (Note that in this clip he's also lying about economic growth.)
