Avg US vehicle size is up 1/3 since 1980, HP has doubled in cars & tripled in pickups & roads are now designed for speed not safety But I think the big change here is local TV news, cops & Republicans teaming up to terrify parents about totally fake stranger danger (crime has actually plummeted)

If you put this in a book as an allegory of them trying to return to the gilded age, it would be laughably blunt.

Say what you will about Illinois but the state at least understands that it is fine, even desirable, to routinely put your chief executive in prison.

If you’ve seen a Christian bemoaning the “sin of empathy” or Elon Musk talking about “suicidal empathy” and wondered what that was about, I have an essay for you tldr version is that they are wrong but I think that the details etc are pretty interesting and scary and speak to our fascist moment

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

Congress could overturn these tariffs right now but they are more concerned about Donald Trump's feelings than the economy of the United States.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Speaking of birbs, the Chicago Bird Alliance is raising funds for a pilot study of a rat poison alternative. If this works, it will help control rats without harming the raptors that are increasingly calling Chicago home. 🦅

My democrat only has to vote with democrats 4% of the time to vote with democrats twice as much as the republican I had before. I am going to repeat this over and over cause its true just how bad the republican I had before was. People are just ignorant about how right wing republicans are.

Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal. This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.

Obviously, forcibly subjugating a sovereign nation to theoretically improve your electoral odds is insane. That being said, i could see this being a deliberate and effective strategy to get the MAGA folks to drop it. Sometimes you need to speak crazy to crazy people.
