Dec 25 in University District History: Central Ohio Somali, Middle Eastern, and Latin neighbors in fear as ICE thugs hunt them and disappear them into distant gulags. Little or no due process. Inadequate notification or regard for family and friends. Today. Now.

I literally did not sleep last night because I was stuck at the Atlanta airport, and then went straight to work when I got to Columbus, and yet I am here tonight, to watch the Buckeyes play a mid-major team. Am I dedicated or am I crazy? I lean toward the latter.

I’ve been at an airport all night and I’m tired and bored and none of my friends/family are awake yet for me to text with 😭.
Ok, stopping whining now.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

My standard response is "tell me, in specific detail, how exactly I'll be 'left behind,'" and to date not a single techbro has ever answered the question. "You'll be left behind" is a statement of religious faith, not business fact, and should be treated as such.
So the “figure out how to use it lest you be left behind” replies about ‘AI’ that have been popping up here strike me as inauthentic but also kind of funny because they grant the point that rather than an automation panacea these technologies are quite difficult to figure out how to use effectively

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The trans community does not harm cis people by existing. They are just trying to live their lives, same as anyone else. That life doesn't look exactly like mine; my life doesn't match anyone else's. That's okay.

Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

This is a key problem thinking about, eg, the base of evidence we'd need to produce as scholars for a renewed VRA. What evidence would SCOTUS find justifies 15th A powers? Is there any? This, as much as anything, is why we need court reform
2/ First, when Congress has legislated in response to national problems, the Roberts Court has repeatedly either struck it down or interpreted it into a nullity. Congress gave us the Voting Rights Act and its reauthorizations; the Court gave us Shelby County, Brnovich, etc.

My cat Bucky is getting a dental today. When I dropped Bucky off, the vet tech was like “we love Bucky here,” and when I was leaving and she was taking him to the back, she said, “C’mon Bucky, let’s go see all your girlfriends.”
I’m starting to suspect my cat has a secret life somehow.

This thread is 💯. Labor precarity in academia means the evisceration of faculty governance and academic freedom, opening the door to administrative purges of the most vulnerable. And faculty-esp tenured faculty and academic leaders-who aren't defending their trans colleagues are enabling it.
So yeah, this is fundamentally about trans people and that cannot be elided, but the ways in which junior faculty are targeted and disposed of, while academic jobs are increasingly precarized, and political grandstanders seek to influence academic governance are fucking terrifying for everyone.
