I'm not saying that I would sell my vote in the Faculty Regent election, but, in the absence of merit pay raises...

In case anyone is keeping score. 6 vandals arrested at the reflecting pool for putting their hands in the water. Zero arrests in the Epstein case.
We asked 1600 South Koreans to name a foreign leader they admire or look up to. Obama was mentioned 406 times, Lincoln 311, Gandhi 66, Mandela and Trump both 56.

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Dear @JohnCena,
My wife's most played song on Spotify of all time was your theme. You beat @taylorswift13 !!!
My latest on how China is changing its efforts to limit Taiwan's diplomatic relations - and what Taiwan can do about it.

This is a spectacularly important study.
Published in Nature, it provides solid evidence that this platform pushes those on the right further to the right, more pro-Trump, more pro-Russia,…
And that these effects are programmed into the platform

The CIA has shuttered The World Factbook.
It had been published and used as a reference source by journalists, teachers, students, and travelers since 1962.

Jesus—Nearly half (47%) of Republicans think the NASA moon landing in 1969 was faked or have doubts, and 52% think vaccines cause autism or have doubts.
By repeatedly stealing my wife's phone over the year to rig her Spotify, this was her most played song. Unfortunately, there was no @JohnCena video in her Wrapped.

It’s just amazing that this myth about Vietnam still circulates on the hard right
We did not have a reliable local partner, no matter how hard we tried, and we couldn’t seal off South VN from infiltration like we could S Korea
The only way to win was staying indefinitely or

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-…

There is a bill in Congress right now that would allow the State Department to revoke the passports of American citizens that criticize U.S. foreign policy.
How is this even remotely legal?

Denmark no longer sees the United States as a reliable and non-threatening partner and it just cost our companies $8 billion. Turns out threatening to invade and annex Greenland was not just a harmless bit of stupidity.

U.S. Department of Energy now unaware of breakthrough technology known as bAtTeRiEs!
Wind and solar energy infrastructure is essentially worthless when it is dark outside, and the wind is not blowing. washingtonexaminer.com/polic…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Solar and wind aren’t “worthless” when it’s dark or calm. Their output is variable but very predictable. Grid-connected renewables use storage, geographic diversity, and backups to stay reliable. All generation types face downtime for maintenance, fuel, & safety.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
