I have never been employed at a university since the few courses I taught while a postdoc. My first full-time job was in a prison (3.5 years) and my second job was in a psychiatric hospital (30.5 years). Nevertheless, I still get asked to review manuscripts submitted to scholarly

Elon Musk paid $250 million to help Trump win the swing states, then he went to Washington and signed a goverment contract worth twice that amount, and then he dismantled every single agency that was investigating his companies.

But Hunter Biden….

People are talking about his Pope trolling and Alcatraz, rather than the billion dollar corruption scheme.

lol who did this

PS to the Trump administration's great patriotic war on girls' dolls and pencils: notice how "unnecessary foreign luxuries" are female-coded. An outboard motor is crammed with Chinese components, but try to imagine Trump asking, "Do Americans really need to own personal boats?"

Disturbing behavior from FTC. This lawsuit would’ve protected families from paying higher prices at the grocery store and stopped conduct that squeezes small businesses and communities across America. Dismissing it is a gift to giant retailers as they gear up to hike prices.

Zurich tunnel originally intended for cars has been converted into a tunnel for cyclists. It runs beneath the main station connected two parts of the city. It demonstrates the priority to bicycles in the city & that they are firmly expected to continue to be used in the future ❤️

The men who insisted he was female never really believed it, but their desire to stick it to uppity women was too primal to resist. They’ll be even more furious with us now.

They're literally doing the meme

7 active wildfires burning in California right now. Trump pulled over half of the state’s National Guard fire crews off their jobs. They’re literally sitting around in L.A. doing nothing. This isn’t leadership — it’s sabotage.
