Very good piece abt how a lot of the effort to use anti-semitism as a cudgel to crush the universities seems to come from another working group at Heritage (home of project 2025). Notably the working group appears to be made up almost entirely non-jews www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

The top economics journal in the world nearly published an article that, to all appearances, is 100% bullshit. It claimed that AI accelerates scientific discovery. An MIT PhD student appears to have used generative AI to fabricate the whole thing, data and all.

If the U.S. can indiscriminately detain German citizens who are traveling to a third country, it makes you wonder what is the point of these nation-states. Germany did nothing. And paying to detain and feed people who are attempting to leave the U.S. proves that the whole point is filling jails.

🧪 The NSF grant terminations hit women, racial & ethnic minorities, and those with disabilities the hardest. E.g.: --Female PIs were 58% of canceled grants (but 34% of all active grants) --Black PIs were 17% of canceled grants (but 4% as base rate) A closer look shows this is structural... 🧵

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

Selling our glorious federal PUBLIC lands, is a crime to our national heritage. It’s legislative subterfuge to benefit the ultrarich at the cost of wilderness. These wildlands provides so much more if left to the public and the living earth.

My new phone came with all the AI bullshit so I decided to try Google Gemini by asking it for info on a relatively obscure topic. And it continually lied to me. Over and over. I asked it to stop lying and just say idk if it didn't know but it kept on straight up lying lol. What is the point of this?
