PSA: If you like a short story, please don't record yourself reading it in full & post it on your youtube channel. You're using that story's audio rights — rights that are being sat on for a reason — and monetarily hurting the author whose work you enjoyed. STOP IT, please and thank you.

An important point getting overlooked: When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies. They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Ah April Fools day. It's the day where we all thank April Fool for her work. She is the person who comes up with the estimated time to play a game on the side of the board game boxes.

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

IF YOU'RE IN LINE TO PISS ON STROM THURMOND'S GRAVE, STAY IN LINE

Things are so bad in this country that folks in small Latin American nations are going to start calling politically unstable countries a Corn Republic.

"Into the Night." So much vocal talent, so much yikes.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.
