The ability of this man to find a "solution" that makes things worse for everyone including himself is fascinating. You'd think he'd make a good call once in a blue moon just out of chance but nope. Consistently clueless chaos

TRUMP THREATENS THE FED: Trump just told the Fed in a post that he will stop trading with countries where the U.S. runs a trade deficit unless it lowers interest rates. Meanwhile, there is now a greater likelihood of a Fed rate hike due to inflation fueled by Trump’s tariffs and the Iran war.

"Based on his remarks in an extended interview with GB News, the US President is only getting worse. In the space of minutes, he managed what amounted to little more than a concentrated stream of nonsense about the UK, Iran, and even the Falkland Islands."

Trump's UK nuclear claim is the latest rambling of an old man who's lost it

In a recent interview, the US President treated us to a concentrated stream of nonsense

Unfortunately, at least in my field, we've reached a point where your academic patron cannot get you a job but they *can* blackball you in the field. Which is the worst of all possible worlds when it comes to abusive advisors.

BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 4h ago

Your academic future should not be dependent on a bizarre patronage model that doesn’t even give the benefits it once did (your patron calls someone in their network and gets you a job)

Oh look. He landed the same job where he can abuse students to new scenery. Just like every other abusive man I met in academia. Same as it ever was.

Chokely Carmichael🥋@stewartcoles.bsky.social · 16h ago

UW-Madison professor engages in multiple sexual relationships with students, disparages another over their sexual orientation and appearance, creates hostile environment, and department leadership covers it all up. And in true “pass the trash” fashion, moves on to ASU once forced to resign.

Carney on what he'd say to Putin at the G20: "Get out of Ukraine. Give back all of Ukraine to Ukraine. End this war."

JD Vance on the 25th anniversary of 9/11: "As you guys can probably guess, I'm really looking forward to hanging out with Joe Biden. I'm sure we'll have many many intense intellectual conversations. We'll have a great time."

> She began her studies in higher-education with the so-called Flying University (later Wyższe Kursy Naukowe), an underground institution of higher education in Russian-held Poland. Oh that's what "secret university" means; that's fascinating!

Natalia (娜塔莉)@wrycritic.bsky.social · yesterday

Thinking of Maria Czaplicka, the first female lecturer of anthropology at Oxford University (1912). Specialising in native cultures of Siberia & Central Asia. Who graduated from secret Polish university. That committed suicide, age 36, failing to secure grants and becoming destitute.

Yes, yes! Come to Canada. Make our fantastic universities even better!

Fifty Shades of Whey@fiftyshadesofwhey.bsky.social · 2d ago

Canada has recruited dozens of researchers away from US universities. 48 out of 64 chair recipients in a government program worth $500+ million are coming from US institutions like Harvard and MIT. 🧵

People are calling it the most annoying response on the internet.

I'm not sure I agree that Pierre has learned to stop parroting trump cause his speech at the stampede was very Trump coded. (I do enjoy that he promoted himself as a finance genius with his 4 year degree he never used for years and now he's up against a financial PhD genius. Hilarious)

New in PN: How Trump tanked Canadian conservatives "Poilievre could do little more than whine about procedure because he knows Canadians, including many of his own Conservative supporters, are so furious with Trump that if he dared praise or side with him he would be committing political suicide."

On 9/11 2001, the US closed its airspace after unfathomable terrorist attacks. Flights bound for the US were forced to divert, with many opting to land in Canada. Under Operation Yellow Ribbon, the small town of Gander, NL and the surrounding communities accepted 38 planes. buff.ly/Ugvm4vL

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
