In 08/09, as the state was going insolvent, they had the choice to keep UC tuition at current levels OR maintain the prisons at the peak three-strikes levels. Guess which they chose.
The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...
The other funny thing about this is, I saw this same writing (same hand) near Republique and went through a complete context collapse (porch collapse, even) because it didn't occur to me the actual young communards would be quoting Disco Elysium.
I know it’s sorta cheesy but someone posted this from Paris on Reddit and I felt this immediate rush of hope
It's the same with people who are likely to be mauled to death by a crocodile. What you want to look for in the photo is a face tattoo reading "I HAVE A PET CROCODILE".
An AI model can predict whether you’re likely to die of cancer from a single photo of your face, according to new research. sciam.com/article/can-...
Nice exploration of the complexity of biological sex--and an emphasis that "sex" is not a construct... it's a word. It's a word that refers to different constructs in different contexts. & one of the many transphobic madnesses is using state power to hurt people to keep a word from having contexts!
Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes right now. Lots of folks make biological sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread] (Reposted from the other site)
To the point where historically we "treated" symptoms like anemia and ended up extending the infection.
And then you start thinking, “wait, is ALL illness like this?” And it mostly is! Most viruses/bacteria aren’t *themselves* causing you pain; your immune response is, in various ways. Your happiness and comfort are of zero priority to your immune system. All it wants is to kill the bug.
Okay so here's a tepid defense: this could earnestly be entirely about California booze. The problem is, Napa is fucked for reasons far more profound than trade wars. Climate change, generational tends, and the end of prosperity are wrecking it. That cab goldrush is donezo.
Without American wine on Canadian shelves, Canadians are also missing out on tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue they would obtain from selling our wine.

I mean, sure he's the favorite son of an industry that announced they will probably kill everyone, and sure he's directed state power at rooting out all those creeping Palestine-lovers, but he also passed a housing bill so, it;s impossible to say if hes bad or not,

This is also occurring during APHA, and I only regret that countermarketing research never touched on "heckling like a drunken British yob".
Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton plans to hit over 30 stops across Texas in his 18-day bus tour, concluding with a stop at the Alamo on the eve of Election Day.
The second at-bat of every game will be Trea Turner softly grounding out to short until morale improves. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/10/phil...
This is sexist nonsense. Everything makes me stupid.
Interacting with attractive women makes men stupid. The researchers found that even a few minutes with the attractive woman was enough to make the students slower and less accurate on the test. Women were unnaffected by interacting with handsome men. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Just seeing if I can successfully tweet "2 in the throuple piratecore with the cool S earrings" at anyone such as @publicfutility.bsky.social
To the degree that I wonder if the point is just to mainstream misogyny by making everyone with a sense of context or history or humor just feel weary. An institutional mandate that every shirt be a Big Johnson shirt.
The thing about Gillis's monologue isn't just that it's misogynistic; it's that it's misogynistic in the most unoriginal, dated, cringe-ily 1982 would-be Andrew Dice Clay way. Like, wow slut shaming women in workout clothes, where'd you dig that fossil up
My unpopular countermarketing dork take is, they should mostly be legal but only sold in plain packaging. That said, leaving Juul--who closely reproduced combustion cigarette nicotine titration patterns, aggressively marketed to kids, and are now part of Altria--on the approved list is a joke.
Only six manufacturers’ products, like Juul and Vuse, are allowed to be sold in Pennsylvania.
