How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

SFSU offers buyouts to all tenure-track and tenured faculty
The Voluntary Separation Incentive Program is a “balancing act,” where there is a stronger incentive for tenured and tenure-track faculty to retire and open up room to hire back lecturer faculty.

As far as I am concerned, every person involved in redacting the Epstein files is complicit in the crimes Epstein and his cohort committed. Every FBI agent who redacted it, every appointed and elected official who had any say in how it was redacted. Right up to Trump himself. Jail the lot.
