Good morning everyone time to check the apocalypse meters and the doom dials and see what fresh calamity awaits us here while we tailgate the pregame of the End Times Extravaganza My money is on “flesh-eating bees,” “babies are now food,” and “the dire wolf is not a dire wolf and also he is racist”

Urgently reposting! University leadership need to actively check the SEVIS database every day (studyinthestates.dhs.gov/sevis-help-hub). Ask your chair to commit to it. Yesterday, UW discovered 9 visa cancellations & only found out b/c they ran a status check. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Chemical analysis confirmed the existence of a dried vanilla pod in a waste deposit in Prague castle's Vladislav Hall. Dated between 1513 and 1666, it is the earliest known example of the plant’s presence in Europe.

Under Fascism, the state makes sweeping changes (sold as an attack on waste, fraud, and abuse) in the name of efficiency…and “the trains will run on time!” Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

Yesterday, 1,400 protests were held to protest the Trump whose headlines fill this page. But to the #BrokenTimes this morning, they are a buried BTW. It has plenty of photos; none here. This is what they call "news judgment." To the Times, we are not news.

I think this is a brilliant framing of this issue. If the government can send people to a third world country to a lifetime of involuntary servitude, that is slavery. Query whether this meets the “jurisdiction” requirement of the 13th Amendment (the officials sending them are!)

Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art. As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky? This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

Great talk last night by Sophie Pierce & Alex Murdin on their fab new book, conceived as a Wainright-like guide for Dartmoor, in dialogue with 18th-20th century antiquarian works. Copies from Bookbag, exhibition of original artwork in Princeton, and look out for the Tors Festival in May.

It's getting buried, but Houston will almost certainly not have representation in Congress until January 2027. Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner died nearly a month ago and Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has simply decided not to call a special election to fill the seat.

Please read this thread. Congress can - and must - stop the tariffs. If you have a GOP representative, call them and demand an end to the tariffs.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Again, the problem was not 'messaging' in the sense that Democrats and Harris and Biden didn't say what Trump's plans are and their consequences, they said so over and over again in many many different ways
