It's inspiring how Neil Gaiman fans let out a collective ugh and then stopped being Neil Gaiman fans.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers. The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough. And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

Trump's post clearly shows his level of intelligence & the things he feels are so important in his presidency. He must have solved every issue heads of government face before turning to this. This is what we want in our president? Not me, not ever.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"Instead of giving stern speeches...or issuing strongly-worded statements..., they could be engaging in...peaceful civil disobedience that...captures public attention. The civil rights movement understood this. The suffragettes understood this. Why don't today's Democratic leaders understand it?"

This is such essential work. I'm doing it too and framing it in terms of archaeology funding (part of the course I'm teaching). Explaining how the government supports and funds our research is our JOB. It is not one side or the other. I have every student you can imagine in my classes.
