East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not

Bluesky I know you do not care about golf. But I am telling you that in this specific case, you SHOULD care about golf. I explain in @slate.com what the Trump administration is doing to East Potomac Golf Course in D.C. slate.com/culture/2026...

We have to think about collapsing Trump poll numbers and Rs turning on him the same way we'd think about finally being able to corner a rabid raccoon in your garage. Good news: he's out of options. Bad news: he's a rabid raccoon.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

I’d love to see an actual attributable death toll that can be pinned on Musk. From the Tesla driver Musk boosted and got killed b/c self driving does not work to the people who died from USAID cuts to the Ukrainians that died b/c Musk strangled their network. He’s an indisputable mass murderer.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

Hello #portfolioday I'm Kei, full time illustrator making concepts and comics on the side. I focus on colorful dream like spaces and #fantasy creatures, and work in both #traditionalart and #digitalart 🏠 www.theskuldlog.com Open for freelance projects and personal commissions.

Despite some particular distractors, I had a great time at this international conference, and feel like I do belong in the XR research community. So long, Italy!

At a panel on ai, the older professors are suggesting that we should get rid of papers altogether, or condense them severely due to the AI involvement, and the younger ones, in general, are aghast. Could it be because the older professors not having written a paper themselves (their students write)?

This conference general chair just told the crowd that the kids like the instagram, so if the young people could post and tag, they’d like it. Nice look.

NEW: In March the White House released an FY27 budget request that zeroed out the National Science Foundation's directorate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE). For months it was unclear what would happen. Now, with FY26 over, the damage to SBE is coming to light. My reporting:

We need to fund all higher education. I’m not going to make any “liberal arts are better for the workforce” arguments here, because they’re justified by they’re what make us human, not what makes money. We need to claw it all back and fund it better when we rebuild.

Matt Gabriele@profgabriele.com

the NEH is a ghost of an organization. the NEA's budget is $29 million. I'm not saying this to be pissy, but simply to say that when we rebuild - and we will rebuild - I expect solidarity from my STEM colleagues as we robustly expand research in the arts and humanities as well.

The GOP has put $2 million to this campaign, and the billionaires have put $23 million in. Their contribution is 92% of the money Tiffany raised.

It's Oct 3. The midterms are a month away, but early voting has already begun in some states. Mail-in ballots will start circulating soon. Some of the usual suspects are already pushing the same "rigged election" rumors we've all heard before. This year, you can play along at home. bingo.cip.uw.edu
