The Pentagon says it plans to livestream an execution. Pete Hegseth said the public will be able to watch the firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, scheduled for December 3. Turning a government execution into a livestream should alarm everyone.

Consider the Cornell rape case. Now extrapolate that out to all the other universities who have failed their students in similar ways and just escaped the media spotlight for it. This is not a Cornell problem. It's systemic.

The board of the Kennedy Center voting to close it because they were blocked from putting Trump's name on it is the equivalent of a kid taking their toys and going home because they didn't get their way.

AI advocates say we have no right to stop innovation in the free market. Hogwash. We don’t allow corporations to come up with new nuclear weapons or varieties of cocaine or biological pathogens. We protect the public from certain kinds of innovation. We need guardrails on AI before it’s too late.

Communication is key 🙂

Can we petition our institutions that if we pass the annual online training pre-test we don't have to do the training? I've had to do the SAME Title IX, Clery Act, and FERPA training for 6 yrs ☠️ #higheredsky

It makes me irrationally angry when I see videos posted where the person is speaking into a lapel mic they are holding in their hand. IT'S LITERALLY IN THE NAME! It's a lapel mic, not a hold-it-in-your-hand mic

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

On the next episode of UnJustified… “New York’s hottest club is The DoJ. It’s got everything: reflecting pools, grand jury transcripts, sanctions, bar referrals, dismissed charges, seashells, and foot-longs. Hit the dance floor with promoter Jeanine Pirro and lose your presumption of regularity.”

A little bit of faith in humanity restored. Got a voicemail from someone who found my escape artist cat in their yard, checked her collar, and called the # on her tag. Cat found her way home on her own but shout out to that helpful neighbor! Obligatory escapee pic:

If you want to own your games your options are old hardware, emulation, a pc and buying from GOG.com, or sailing the high seas. Those are your options.

Just thinking about how I kept waiting for teachers to show me how to write cursive numbers after we learned cursive writing. When I asked my older sibs when I would learn cursive numbers, they didn't correct me- they just said, "Soon." I'm still salty all these years later.

In class yesterday, I taught a roomful of grad SLP students how health insurance works. They were appalled. Points covered that drew the biggest reactions include (thread): losing your job = losing health care coverage
