Protect PTK Researchers at UMD
Higher education is under attack from a federal administration that seeks to undermine our research infrastructure for political gain. Faculty at UMD conducting crucial research in fields like climate...

The majority of UMD faculty are nontenure researchers on federal funding. Hundreds of our public servants are threatened by MAGA science cuts. We're asking our bosses for simple things to keep people whole or provide dignified exits.

So on the one hand, the US consumer continues to spend, not slowing down there. And not just the rich--Walmart doing gangbusters business. But the Michigan consumer sentiment survey is bad bad bad. So we're spending but we hate it, we feel poorer, and we don't expect to feel better soon.

I think it’s bad that ai allows people to pretend to live in completely separate realities so they don’t have to process news and events that make them uncomfortable. I think that is bad for the health of society!
Trump supporters are also making shitty AI videos of Trump arresting Mamdani in the Oval Office.
They don't know how to process what just happened in real life, so they're making the version they prefer with AI.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.
One thing that is tough about rapid response/patrols, besides constantly being threatened by armed secret police, is that for the most part they see the defeats. There are exceptions, but you’ll never know how many people were saved by slowing feds down, whistles, community alerts, etc.

But it's called [doing the hands] Central Planning. Ok? It's really a beautiful term. You have to have a plan or else it's chaos. These companies are making billions of dollars and you've never seen anything like it. But we'll be releasing a beautiful five-year plan and you'll be very happy

this might sound really strange but I think this clip really showcases why Trump is the uniquely equipped figurehead of this movement in a way all the other chuds of the far right will never be
Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?
Mamdani: I've spoken about --
Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

It is amazing how much he flips for his current conversation partner. Yesterday he wanted to murder journalists because he was hanging out with MBS. Today he's happy with a socialist mayor calling him a fascist because they're best buds.
Stunning moment:
Mamdani is asked if he still considers Trump a fascist.
As he begins answering, Trump, while slapping Mamdani on the arm, interrupts: "Just say yes, I don't mind."

That terrible Star Wars fighting game on the PlayStation demo disc
I'm curious, peeps: is there a game that's curiously or unexpectedly nostalgic for you?
It could be nothing special, and it could be totally obscure, but just thinking about it or seeing it or hearing a bit of music gets you, oof, right in the <3.
This is one of mine; would love to see yours!

Absolutely. It's simply unsafe. Minecraft at least is fun offline. Our house runs on battlestar galactica rules: computers can be fun but they just never be networked together.
Roblox is a trash organization and I would sooner let my kids play a AAA gorefest than play it. could not be more obvious how little they think of children.

I like little magazines because it gives a certain group of freaks a little playground for themselves, so they don't bother the rest of us. Like it's nice that guys have Damage or Compact or whatever. Viewpoint was mine and I miss it! This is the way, after the fall of the web.
