I didn't think there was a lower bottom to this particular bottom, but here it is.

Absolutely no notes.

That’s where the k-cup goes

This absolutely needs to be the mindset in 2026, 2028, and beyond. There is no "reset," no "back to normal." There is only a building of something better and more resiliant to autocracy, which starts with turning norms into laws.

Hey, @maricopacounty.bsky.social need to up your "I Voted" sticker game.

Partisan difference in cognitive offloading.

Where has this material been? 😂

Hard to see how we ever revert to the democratic mean.

We should be thankful he intervened to prevent further carnage. But the fact that this is what we are relegated to as response to school shootings is an abject failure of this country.

You can't run as the party of anti-corruption when you have a targeted and purposeful operation to scam grandpa.

Birds of the same gross feather fly together.

One really can not scroll through Bluesky these days while drinking coffee.

Sir, your dictatorship is showing. I would tuck that back in.

These prices are all for the privilege of being inundated with ad content every eight minutes of a show, unless you are willing to pay even more. Essentially, we are now fully subsidizing the new era of network television.

A snake oil salesman who is out of snake oil.

I want to say, "Where were you during Trump 1.0?" but then I remember that it takes a "pants on fire" level of reality to reach low propensity voters.

If the past two years are the grown-ups in charge, bring on the children!

Hello, 911, I'd like to report a well planned, slow, and methodical murder.

We are morally bankrupt as a nation.

This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...

Wut?

Careless People.

This. After all the mid decade redistricitng, voter roll culling attempts, attacks against mai-in voting, efforts to pass the Save Act, and threats to have federal law enforcement at polls, there is no way he is not just going to give up. There are things to come in run-up and on election day.

"...by mass-producing outrages, the administration has numbed America’s ability to recognize their individual gravity." Best description I've heard of the number one Trump principle.

It's not surprising that lying is a requirement of this administration. What is perhaps surprising is how many people are willing to completely debase themselves to do it.

We are soon going to have to come to grips with the fact that this shit is asbestos for the mind

These are not the tactics of a government that believes the rule of law is on their side and have legitimacy to govern.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

When Jerome Powell was Fed Chair, it was all Jerome Powell's fault. Now that it's his hand-picked guy as chair, Kevin Warsh, it is the rest of the Fed Board's fault. Constantly shifting responsibility to fit a narrative must be exhausting.

“The insurance industry ranked American fraternities as the sixth-worst insurance risk in the country—just ahead of toxic-waste-removal companies.” www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

One surprising thing from the Trump era is the level of cowardness and capitulation exhibited by institutions of power. Even in the face of evidence that pushback works and that the law is on their side, they continue to fall in line. It's a stain that will be hard to erase from history.

I feel like we're in an alternative reality where Cobra Kai won 1984's All Valley Karate Tournament

"He's not good enough for me , but he's good enough for you" is quite the endorsement.

The practical demise of the NSF, including the SBE division, deserves a coordinated and forceful response from higher education leadership. Instead, what we've gotten is collective silence. History will not look kindly upon this group.

Lol. Denial is a river in Egypt.

The intent is clear: "The admin previously fired the N.S.F.’s independent oversight board. And it has canceled or delayed thousands of grants across both agencies as part of its quest to punish elite universities and eliminate spending President Trump and his aides view as 'woke' "

This is a nice piece that covers a number of ways to address student use of AI in writing. However, these strategies target in-person instruction and smaller classes. Combating AI use in large, asynchronous courses, where universities are pursuing more enrollment strategies remains a big challenge.

IYKYK. 🤣🤣🤣

"no radicals" Holding that whole statement together with every stitch of its fabric.

Excuse me while I go hide under a rock.

In virtually all other situations this would be fatal, but it is current GOP politics-- where the gotcha game must be strong, but not factual. He probably increased his odds at VP with this embarrassing audition.

They can't stand not visually being there for some major breaking story. It's so much easier to believe they are fighting for profit than for press freedom.

Out of everything that has transpired during the Trump administrations, the level of bromance that Trump has for dictators never ceases to amaze.

When the Provost of a prestigious school gives the same excuses for using AI for writing as my intro course students, we've completely lost the plot.

This man was robbed of the Nobel Peace Prize. Complete injustice.

The ability of terrible forces to collaborate in service of social destruction feels increasingly irremediable.
