Yeah, so could some please ELI5 why the tariff announcement would predictably cause Bitcoin to go down?

Is BlueSky search broken? I get no results for most searches.

That’s true. And a question framed around “why do you consume media?” would be equally useless.

Lich Lord Heppner 💀 @rlheppner.bsky.social · 9d

There’s just no way this statistic is true.

It seems like the term “social media” has lost its usefulness if it includes everything from Twitter and BlueSky to Facebook to WhatsApp to Instagram and TikTok and YouTube. Those each have different uses.

Wait, the new judge had commented on whether the recusing judge should retire?

In case you were wondering whether May Mailman and the DOJ give two shits about students affording college, let me enlighten you.

They do not. Their goal is to DEFUND universities, especially the humanities and social sciences, and this compact is part of that project, not college affordability.

Ah. I genuinely didn’t know what was meant. I thought those with their backs to the wall were the powerless ones whose hands were being forced by the other side. But I get it, in that “being forced” is presumably the threat of being blamed. I’m just not be DC-brained enough to intuit that.

How does “backs to the wall” correspond (or not) to who gets blamed?

So basically whether they (must) work for money or whether they own the means of production…

That seems bonkers. Among other things, are the AI bots somehow watching the trial and taking in how lawyers and witnesses act?

This. The American Rule comes as such a surprise to most people!

It's gonna get so much sh*tty engagement, and then they'll declare it a big success!

My two main issues are rising housing prices and rising trouser rises.

" The compact asks universities to ensure a “vibrant marketplace of ideas on campus” and to bar employees from expressing political views on behalf of their employer, unless the matter affects the school. "

Lich Lord Heppner 💀 @rlheppner.bsky.social · 10d

"The memo demands that schools ban the use of race or sex in hiring and admissions, freeze tuition for five years, cap international undergrad enrollment at 15%, require that applicants take the SAT or a similar test, and quell grade inflation."
That seems like an... unappetizing set of demands.

Forget grammar and think about potatoes.
