I'm a white guy who grew up in Mississippi and I'm still surprised by the depth and breadth to which Obama's election broke people's brains, and the persistence of the wound. Barnett's supposed to be some respectable lawprof but he's still openly seething with rage that a Black person was President.

The National Science Foundation is the main source of funding for basic sciences in the US. For decades, they have supported a scientific R&D ecosystem in the US that has been an engine of economic growth and competitive advantage. Destroying the agency is no less than an act of sabotage.

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues. He had just asked to call his wife. They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw. Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

White Christian Nationalists are not afraid to show their colors__anti-democracy, anti-equality, anti-women, anti-DEI . . .
#DEIMatters So, the regime canceled #DEI__ the easy part. But it is not immune from calls to reinstate DEI. Moreover, the regime is going to face a huge blacklash, that it caters to White Supremacists.

i think this is exactly right and it is part of what i was trying to get at last week when i wrote about the narcissism of the president and his allies. they fundamentally do not believe other people are real, and do not understand the decisions they make.
I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

“The most dangerous threat to Black studies right now is not coming from the federal government… It is coming from institutions that have decided, in advance, that accommodation is the same thing as survival.”
“A new report in the Chronicle of Higher Education shows how Black Studies departments around the country have been kneecapped by a multi-pronged conservative strategy to halt the study of race at American schools.”

When you understand just how minute our place is in the universe, and how little influence we actually have over our life. Wouldn’t you think that someone would do the right thing and release the complete un-redacted Epstein files?😊🕊️
Carl Sagan explores the intimate connection between human life and the stellar life cycle. He explains that heavy elements in our bodies (carbon, oxygen, iron) were created inside stars. This details stellar evolution, from birth to death, including white dwarfs, supernovae, and black holes.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.
This a great piece of investigative journalism. @rollingstone.com This should be required reading for scientists and ethicists. Ethics matter, especially in science. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is why it’s so important to trace things back to the beginning whenever possible. I believe @rauchway.bsky.social calls these “historical urban legends”
looking up the source of quotes, whether for a book or a video script, is great for figuring out when a quote everyone "knows" and has repeated for ages is actually just weird bullshit someone else made up

"It's A Wonderful Life" isn't just a feel-good holiday classic (and my favorite movie of all time). It's also a warning about what happens when greed runs the economy.

No, you can’t do that, airhead. It’s not within your authority and it violates several laws.
