Thinking about it more and the only reason Fordham makes this list is because Trump went there. There’s some insane logic of “trump pretended to attend Fordham before he pretended to attend Penn, therefore it has to be prestigious, therefore it has to be high-profile enough for us to punish them”
Fordham punching above its weight by making it to this list. Fr McShane doing the Eriq La Salle ER fist pump when he sees this
Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

what if, due to AI, in a couple of years the only people who have jobs are podcasters? that brings us to the obvious question: how are the rest of you going to get the money to pay for my podcasts? that's something you all need to be thinking about because i will not change my lifestyle.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

I I know New York politics we're a month out from Hochul announcing she's relocating the Statue of Liberty to Utica
It's honestly a little unsettling to see a New York mayor and New York governor not at each other's throats.
I'm endorsing Gov. @KathyHochul because she's someone willing to engage in honest dialogue that delivers results.
Along with the movement that powered our campaign, it's how we secured a historic agreement on childcare. And we're just getting started.

To understand what's going down at WaPo, this information is essential. The tech bros brought Trump to power, and the are exploiting their hold on the administration to accumulate wealth in an obscene fashion. The last thing they want is a newspaper running exposés that mess things up.

Netflix picked up a Pete Davidson "video podcast" which isn't really a podcast as it doesn't have an RSS audio portion. Hmm... This got me wondering about the deals.

I swear to god the last email they release is gonna be Jeff in summer 2019 trying to acquire bats from Wuhan
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker
