Hello #GOP? Can’t finish a humanities PhD in 1-4 years! I took 7 and I was the second fastest in my class of about 20!
I know there's a lot happening today, but this is sneaking in under the radar. This proposed new rule would absolutely crush foreign PhD students, potentially making it impossible for them to enroll with any certainty of their ability to finish www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Gosh this was depressing. I never thought I’d be nostalgic for the lines we waited in in the 80s

But it didn't come out of nowhere. He bought several guns. He bought lots of bullets. He posted about shooting up a school and a church. There we signs. We all missed them.
Is it just us, or does Lorenzo Bartolini look a little like Ted Cruz? He was the last academy member to be buried in their chapel at Santissima Annunziata on January 20th, 1850. #history #Florence sepoltuario.iath.virginia.edu/individuals/...
We have been having fun with this tomb and its inscription today. May it [art and design] always flourish in spite of death! Chapel of St. Luke, Santissima Annunziata, #Florence #sepoltuario #tombs #italy sepoltuario.iath.virginia.edu/inscriptions...

"[A person who should not have had a gun] fired a rifle through the windows of a Roman Catholic church in Minneapolis where students were celebrating their first Mass of the new school year on Wednesday." #endgunviolence www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
Well, at least we have this.
Nice that Jeanine Pirro found another job to be incompetent at. What a seamless transition.
But, 41% support it??? Ugh. Seeing someone walking down the street in military garb carrying a rifle makes me extremely uncomfortable. We are not at war. We are not supposed to be a police state. When will this madness end?
Striking: New Quinnipiac poll finds 56% of voters nationally oppose Trump's sending of National Guard into DC. Only 41% support it.
Independents oppose it by 61-34.
Trump's overall approval on crime is cratering at 42-54.
That sound you hear is a lot of dimwitted pundit narratives imploding.
Christ almighty. #EndGunViolence #AbolishICE
Trump’s America
