The administration is extorting universities for billions of dollars and attempting to destroy free speech, academic freedom, and independent thought but the Atlantic talked to a few professors at elite universities who think the problem is that some students need a little extra time on exams

Anybody whose concern boils down to "it dilutes the pool" is a eugenicist and should be ignored.
Extra time costs us teachers nothing and SpEd/504 Accommodations have allowed thousands of kids to become college-educated adults and amazing contributors to society.

Reading letters from the Princess Liselotte of Palantine, the German sister-in-law of Louis XIV, and it's wild because she had this super informal writing style that almost sounds like modern texts
Like at one point she goes "wish to god my son didn't love holding chunks of bread like a peasant"

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.
She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

It's quite possible, you can't rule it out, that this whole MTG thing is an act: she's gonna run for Senator, she'll primary him if he tries for a third term, she'll primary his successor, she wants to reap the whirlwind when Trump is history and that is a huge opportunity for any opportunist

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

mr trump as your comms strategist i can only encourage you to keep depicting yourself as a mad king dumping shit on people
Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."
AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.
