“The grants included in the January announcement were for less than $50,000, with the University of Houston slated to receive the largest sum, $40,000 for a literary program run by Arte Público Press.” They’re so afraid of art and culture, and they should be.

Heartening bc for a while I’ve been feeling like it’s actually breaking my brain that nothing matters. The public doesn’t want vouchers? Pass it anyway. People will die from dirty food? Fire the inspectors anyway. The Narcan program helps save people’s lives? End it anyway. What are we doing?

It's a brutal time for young Mariners fans, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a Mariners fan." Absolutely perfect time for Astros and Rangers monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

“These lawyers appear to be obeying Stephen Miller and not the Supreme Court,” says @cnewman.bsky.social, an attorney for the Abrego Garcia family. “Miller himself should be deposed under oath in federal court to determine his role in this ongoing affront to due process.”

Like, do you all know what a Longshoreman’s strike does to retailers?!? Having been on the latter side, it’s not a fucking treat. That’s not even close to what’s about to happen. All those red hats saying they can be uncomfortable for a bit if it brings change. For a bit? 😂

The problem with young men is that, while every generation thinks things are harder for it than the one before it, there is now a fully incentivized and monetized media ecosystem that exists to tell them that they’re right instead of that they’re just growing up. Easy answers are now big money.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Do not fall for the lies of c-suites. Not making enough money for endless growth goons is not “inherently unprofitable.” Media is very challenging, yes, but the vultures want you to believe these layoffs are inevitable and necessary.

Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.
