My mom any time I am even slightly mean to her

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

This is how you do it. The "Mutual Academic Defense Compact". The moral imperative may be to fight... but the strategic imperative is to not fight alone: www.gazettenet.com/UMass-Amhers...

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Nobody told me Dragon Ball was such a chaotic manga

Young men who want to play video games all day, notably a demographic that cares a lot about their health www.yahoo.com/news/young-m...

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

Zelensky wore a sweater and pants to show solidarity with his troops and he got destroyed, but Bukele showed up looking like the manager of a Staten Island nightclub and no one said a goddamn word.

I fully support people wearing sunglasses indoor. The real world is just too bright, it’s an unnecessary level of detail.

there was not "intense social pressure" to stop saying 'master bedroom' and 'brown bag lunch,' bffr. If you were a national pundit with millions of readers you would get some annoying twitter replies and emails. Ordinary people with normal jobs were not experiencing this.

Don't tell me to "organize my inbox" Outlook, how about you work on yourself? Have a better "search" function, how about that?

1/ A couple of days ago I saw a post like: “I hope institutions consider the bad funding climate in tenure decisions.” Here’s my reminder that institutions are made up of individuals (like you). You may not be in the board of trustees at your university but it you have tenure or are in the room…

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: biscuits and gravy, tall cup of Sanka, then slap on the Rolex and head over to the old torture prison to pose in front of kids that ICE randomly grabbed off the streets. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

MIT following Harvard's lead here

Where are the “free speech on campus” people www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

I'm glad they did this and better late than never. But it would have been nice is this spine evolved when a racist mob came for the university's first Black woman president.

Wait they changed Bob the Builder?!?! I take bad every nice thing I’ve said about this generation. We really are done for

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

Title: “Cool clinical trial” 😍 Subtitle: “A study protocol” so you have to wait 6 years” 😡

It’s not the major point here. But Ezra Klein is such a lazy thinker on how NIH is not funding “innovative”research. He’s gotten sucked into the rightwing thinktank blather that we need more “high-risk high-reward” funding. But NIH already does this. 1/

Did the orcas just take a break or did they accomplish what they wanted?

Join us on Monday as we call on Columbia and the Board of Trustees to resist the Trump administration's assault on our students, research, teaching and patients! 📍Low Library Steps ⏰ 12:30pm Monday April 14

I’ll just let any psychologists considering this path know: Our generation will not be as kind to you as our elders were to the likes of Barlow and Hayes.

Donald Trump has made himself—and by extension, us—the laughing stock of the world.

1/ @drmonnica.bsky.social and colleagues, Imani Farber, and Sonya Faber respond to a "the Behavior Therapist" piece that absent of any data mischaracterizes social justice at ABCT and pits it against other goals of the organization. mydigitalpublication.com/article/Corr...

I avoid watching Mid-Century Modern but we just started it, it’s good m.youtube.com/watch?v=-m1J...

The lesson for universities is you may as well fight back. You'll lose the money either way. The only question is whether you keep your dignity.

#NEW: The House has also voted to overturn the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's rule limiting overdraft fees to $5. 217-211. All yay votes were GOP, 1 GOP plus all voting Dems were nay. The big banks won. Regular people lost.

1: For the love of god stop doing non-inferiority trials with difference margins that are so large that the study doesn’t answer a clinically-relevant question.

"Despite the University's agreeing to many changes, including having a political commissioner to control the faculty and oversee the University's Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies, all NIH grants to Columbia University remain frozen." www.science.org/content/arti...
