Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

This is what ICE is so afraid of that they think they need the national guard as backup.

Hot chocolate float. My friend who worked at Carvel would make this for me. A cup of hot chocolate, made from powder, with a glob of soft serve vanilla floating on top, waiting for its melty demise. The best equivalent bliss I’ve encountered is sitting in a hot tub while it’s snowing.

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

There are more people employed by NIH than coal mining (though Trump et alia are working hard to reduce NIH-related employment...)

Ironically, James Comey was one of the few members of Trump’s 1st administration to recommend Biden grant a preemptive pardon for Trump in 2021. So after demanding loyalty and finally receiving it, this is Comey’s reward! With friends like this, who needs enemies?

Finally, I’m currently on the job market, and would love to hear about any open faculty positions you have in your department!

I’m interested in tenure track positions both in the US and abroad.

Memento (2000). Technically, it’s only half eligible since B+W scenes alternate with color scenes, but it’s such an interesting and “memorable” flick that I thought it should be mentioned.

I don’t know what you expect her to do. The Republicans have the majority in Congress and they can deny any attempt to impeach him. Perhaps one R might join in a unified effort, but that’s far from likely, especially with a vengeful despot at the helm. How about a constructive suggestion?

Yeah, it is bleak, but thank you for talking about it. You’re doing a great job at raising consciousness, and that’s important.

Beautiful song with brilliant lyrics. It’s was playing in my head on repeat several months ago and now you started it all over again. Thanks (or not)!

Out of the blue, Trump called the Norwegian finance minister to ask when he would get the Nobel prize suggesting he would impose tariffs if he did not www.dn.no/politikk/fre...

Kilder til DN: Trump tok opp nobelpris i tolltelefon med Stoltenberg (+)

Ut av det blå, mens finansminister Jens Stoltenberg gikk på gaten i Oslo, ringte Donald Trump fra Det hvite hus. Han ville ha Nobelprisen – og diskutere toll.

Every night Stephen Miller must return to his carefully calibrated vat of restorative goo, made of ground up small mammals and the tears of children, for a full 10 hours, or his skin, already so sickly, will begin to slough off in chunks.

Crime in D.C. hit a 30-year low last year.

Trump deploying the National Guard on the city is yet another authoritarian show of force.

It's straight out of the dictator's playbook. https://youtu.be/WSxJRIiCNs8?feature=shared
