The plane being a White Elephant gift is the funniest turn this saga could have taken
Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey.
Delicious.

The drinking game word for the latest @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social episode with @saikatc.bsky.social and Zephyr Teachout is definitely “enervate” - I think they collectively hit triple digits!

The way I see it, there are 4 big tools to fight this authoritarian administration:
- Congress (useless, compromised/terrified)
- Journalism (KEY, but weakened economically, legally & culturally)
- Justice system (stronger, but dangerously wobbly w Trump ignoring rulings & law firms folding)…

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.
The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

I saw #Wicked - liked it less than my kids. I’ve seen #TheWizardofOz on and off my whole life - love it in many ways. But the real ethos of the story still feels (to me) best realized by #MrBungle, as I’ve found many thing in life to have been…
