My grandfather, Joseph Justman, was a statistician for the NYC Board of Ed for most of his career. His focus was gifted and talented programs. One of his studies was very interesting, but never fully implemented.
"But what do we do with the gifted kids, they'll just sit in class and twiddle their thumbs?" I don't know, I guess it's impossible for them to help their classmates, or work on a project in class that uses their curiosity and also teaches their classmates something. <shrug> Guess we can't!

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...
Is he giving one share per kid or one share to be split across all of the kids? Either way, I don't think he should have another incentive to kill more children.
You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

Andreesen Horowitz decided to employ a guy to manage other people's pension money, on no other basis than that he'd been in the news for choking someone to death on the subway. If that doesn't make you think these guys ain't right, then good luck with your cap table I guess.

In the USA, there are ~50 million Black people, and ~50 million immigrants. So far this year, US cops have killed 217 Black people like this. Not a typo. Two hundred and seventeen. US cops are between 10 times and 100 times more dangerous for Black people than ICE is for immigrants.

But in his defense, President Trump is stupid, evil, and corrupt. When you think of it in that context, this is totally acceptable, right?
The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES stood on a stage and said: “Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego.” And people CHEERED. I’m sorry, but what the actual fuck are we doing?

"Seven former Cornell students are accused of sexually assaulting another student who says she was incapacitated. Messages allegedly inviting other frat members were sent to a group chat during the assault. Everyone is talking about the seven. I keep thinking about the others." buff.ly/z7yWbR2

Sure, but it's worth remembering that Sen. Collins is at best a naive fool and at worst a corrupt scoundrel. Or both.
I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

The number of people still seemingly unaware that Substack has a Nazi problem means it’s apparently worth mentioning yet again that Substack has a fucking Nazi problem.

"Yeah, we know, we’re seen as boring and old and out of touch. But we’re hungry for progress. As long as it feels scripted and familiar. We’re ready to usher in profound change, abstracted into a focus-group-tested campaign slogan." buff.ly/tt1slzK

""What did he study? “Philosophy and theology. A teacher in high school said, there’s no money in that, and I said: ‘Sir, that’s disrespectful. That’s insulting, because not everybody’s about money.’" he's one of us!

It's like a parody, but it's deadly serious; the Commerce Department (which includes Census, NOAA, and others) has outright deleted "don't alter or suppress scientific findings for political reasons" from its scientific integrity rules. Seriously.
SCOOP: After the Census Bureau issued a highly unusual report tied to a President Trump-aligned think tank, the bureau’s parent agency, the Commerce Department, cut language banning political interference from its scientific integrity policy, @npr.org has learned www.npr.org/2026/08/31/n...
