Universities must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

this is how it's done.

How much is your marginal tax rate? I bet it's higher than a billionaire's -- they only pay a rate of 8% on average. That's not a typo. Most people pay anywhere from 20-39% to the federal government alone. Now you do understand why America is so messed up?

I feel like they cast Timothee Chalamet in that Wonka movie because he has an air of whimsy when they should have cast Kieran Culkin because he's snide. Wonka is SNIDE.

Thing is, a real Minecraft movie would be a sad, quiet, lonely, melancholic experience, occasionally punctuated by mortal peril. So it's notable that they went with Jack Black screaming "skibidi toilet!" at CGI pigs

BREAKING: New H5N1 Variant Hits Ohio & Indiana 19M Birds Culled A newly identified D1.3 genotype of H5N1 avian flu has spread across 84 farms, leading to the culling of over 19 million birds in under three months.

If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back. The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

RFK Jr. & his brain worm would just like to remind everyone that he doesn’t give a flying fuck. ‘If H5N1 were to be allowed to run through a flock of 5 million birds, “that’s literally 5 million chances for that virus to replicate or to mutate,” Dr. Hansen said.😱 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/h...

I am honored to have been welcomed to a local clinic for Medicaid Day of Action. Medicaid is vital for millions of families, children, seniors, & underserved communities. We should prioritize preventative care and get vaccinated for a healthier future. #MedicaidDayofAction

I am not okay hearing Killing In the Name on my local classic rock station. It’s still relevant dammit! It will always be relevant! Though I guess it qualifies as “classic” in the technical sense

"I think you caved. I don't think you showed the fight this party needs right now, because you're playing by a rulebook where the other party has thrown that rulebook away" -- here's the full clip of Sunny Hostin confronting Schumer today on The View

RIP, Tesla.

Long-term heart risks from COVID-19. "A study found that having a COVID-19 infection doubles the risk of cardiovascular diseases, with risks extending up to 3 years." "The risks presented by COVID-19 apply to all patients, regardless of age, gender, or prior health conditions."

I feel the same way about ai music. Maybe it will be able to make something that approximates a good song at some point but the second I learn it was created by a thing that can't experience loss or joy or whatever it immediately becomes uninteresting by definition

The Onion summer writing fellowship is seeking applicants! It's six months, good salary and benefits. This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.

Alternative rock could be run so much more efficiently. How necessary are a singer, guitar player, bass player and drummer. You could get rid of all of those positions and replace them with one guy who just shows up at the venue and hawks crypto

Would like to report some gang tattoos.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

Raise your own chickens is the new Let them eat cake.

Hes just dismantled Our Education Dept. Baby w the bathwater Im sure. The US Dept of Education employees just recieved emails throwing them out of the building by 6pm tonight. (Guess it's 6pm already on East Coast. )

THIS is what billionaires get for their tax dollars. THIS. And the roads and fire department and court system and water and sanitation and military to protect from Russian bombs and terrorism and universities to create a skilled workforce and all the billions in subsidies and

They want to cut USPS - so they can own it. They want to cut Amtrak - so they can own it. They want to cut Social Security - so they can force you to use private financial firms more. They want to cut Medicare and the VA - so they can force you to use private healthcare more.

🚄 France Appreciation Post 🇫🇷 Last Friday scientists across France rallied in support of American scientists. At a time when many Americans are feeling desperate it means a lot to see so much support from our oldest allies. We are so grateful for the support! #vivelafrance #solidarité

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of Americans applying for jobless benefits last week jumps to 242,000, a three-month high.

McKenzie Bezos do you like alternative rock

On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.

Let's be clear. All these tech billionaires like Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg didn't become right wingers because of some ideological awakening -- or because of "wokeness." It's because they're BILLIONAIRES and they want to avoid taxes. That's it. It's the MONEY.

💥ATTENTION FEDS💥 All the termination letters going out that we've seen use "inadequate performance" as the reason for termination. SAVE YOUR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS. Tell your friends who aren't on bluesky! Probationary employees can't be fired for "poor performance" if their performance is not poor

i hope someone is keeping a running list of how many "temporary" changes that the administration is making so we can see how many of them are still in effect after six months or a year. (spoilers: it is going to be all of them)

What happened to all those hard left shitbirds that attacked me back in 2020 because I didn't like Tusli Gabbard? They just disappeared. Weird.
