Just imagine if this were a Dem President. At some point it was decided that GOP can do what they want, because “they’re the crazy right wing,” abd standards apply only to the DEM
The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

I still can’t figure out why the taxpayers of this country have to pay for FBI security details for the girlfriend of the Director.

Teaching #DH in English often ignores #linguistic diversity. What happens when students use #Bengali texts with DH tools? Sunayani Bhattacharya shares thoughts from a course that directly confronted the Anglophone bias of #digitalcuration and #textanalysis.

Not a defense of Leavitt at all, just saying: that's not the question to ask.
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

Ths gotta be one of the most stupid Q ever asked. And the bar is really low these days. Not surprised CNN bought into it.
CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files?

CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Still thinking about my time in China. Great research trip, great colleagues. Amazing new evidence being unearthed.

Once again i had a wonderful time, this time in Anhui! The Wuwangdun tomb is an absolute marvel. Very grateful to Sarah Allan for introducing me to Xu Zaiguo, and then to Xu Zaiguo and Cheng Yan for welcoming me so warmly. Great people all around. Off to Shanghai now!

Besides these articles, there are also a lot of videos about the discovery. Some like this one are very interesting for various reasons, one in particular is that they show the leftovers of robbery attempt. Second is the images of the first time the tomb was entered.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

A post by @madpoli.bsky.social about the pros and cons of digitized data. Easy to access, but it can also mean that fewer people understand what's underneath behind it

Sometimes I miss watching movies with commercial interruptions, at the theater or on television. Not only were they a great way to refill your pop-corn bowl without missing anything. Advertisements…

According to this report, there were 26 attempts since the Han dynasties to rob the tomb, two of which were very serious (one happened shortly before the area was protected)! Something that I was not aware of before

A report came out in 考古 a few weeks ago (2025.9).

“Late Warring States Tomb No.1 at Wuwangdun in Huainan City, Anhui 安徽淮南市武王墩战国晚期一号墓”, with HQ images and detailed descriptions of the area, the tomb structure, and some selected objects found therein.

I was very lucky to be able to visit this site in person! For those who haven’t been yet: there are two academic publications from the last few weeks on King Kaolie’s 烈王 tomb in Anhui, known as the Wuwangdun 武王墩 tomb.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.
