We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

I just had an article pop up on my feed about how “vintage” baby names FROM THE 1980S are making a comeback. If you’ll excuse me, I have to go crumble into dust.

Zero new NSF grants in sociology, anthropology, political science and economics. The agenda of this US govt is to stop documenting the society in which we live while they are destroying it. We will find other ways to track and explain our times and fight to restore our research funding.

Finally, this has gone a bit under the radar, so I want to highlight it: The social, behavioral and economic sciences directorate (SBE) has simply ceased to deliver grants to many of its subareas. Any topic not specifically OK'd by the Trump administration is receiving zero new awards.

This is the most Republican story you will read all day. A Republican who represents Trump’s home district was arrested for molesting his OWN GRANDSON and could face the death penalty under a state law he sponsored. There has to be a German word for this.

We're at the point where we're using LLMs to create content and LLMs to review content and then LLMs to integrate the LLM's review feedback (this could of course go on literally forever as it constantly reviews and contradicts itself. I've seen it!) and I'm just not sure what anyone is doing anymore

So Trump used a bunch of journalists and even some of his own staff as human decoys to possibly get murdered in mid-air so he could live on and make more money

One of our program co-directors just put this (not for the first time) in the office chat. This is every day at @theyoungcenter.bsky.social. ❤️

I am not on here nearly enough so apologies if this has been discussed to death already, but is there a desktop client for Bluesky that y'all like? I was a big fan of TweetDeck before it (and that bluebird app) got killed. Is there anything like that?

Yep. Totes. Absolutely nothing amiss here. The man who would rather glitch on camera than skip a press conference or photo op is just releasing a quick statement instead of staging some sort of triumphant hospital departure. Sure sure. There’s nothing sketchy about this AT ALL.

What in the aqua netted moldy peanut butter solution is happening on that jerk’s head?!
