Conservatives say all profs mindlessly parrot "settler colonialism" slogans. That's not true. My book that shows how early modern authors challenged the biases and prejudices of their age. amazon.com/Early-Modern-O…
Was Shakespeare racist? or anti-racist? Was he an antisemite? Or did he criticize antisemitism? Early Modern Others answers those questions, and shows how early modern authors challenged the biases and prejudices of their age. amazon.com/Early-Modern-O…
Beyond classic!!!!
Incredible scenes taking place in the Ayatollah’s bunker:
Trump says that Iran's nuclear program was "obliterated." But the Pentagon says "severe damage." These are not the same.
BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)
Just like Trump revolutionized higher education, casinos, and steaks.

"Congress shall make no law . . . prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Trump has to keep feeding MAGA's bottomless appetite for the spectacle of him inflicting pain and suffering on the people they've been commanded to hate, nothing is ever enough
Once more demonstrating that there is no "intelligence" in "artificial intelligence."
total victory for late Wittgenstein. the robot can’t actually play the game
That's the accusation. Now let's see the DoJ prove this in court. Let's see the evidence.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been charged with smuggling undocumented immigrants into the U.S., allegedly making more than 100 trips. He also allegedly abused undocumented females and solicited nude photographs and videos from a minor. axios.com/2025/06/06/kii…
Who knew that Trump is a Blues Brother?
President Taco 🌮 just posted this.
I cannot decide if Noem is really that ignorant, or is she just being obstructionist because that's what Trump likes.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

This is probably one of the best speeches in committee I have EVER heard. We often hear passionate emotional speeches and I applaud that, but this is a forensic dismantling of a woman who arrogantly thinks she and the administration she belongs to are above the law. THEY ARE…
Thrilled and proud to be part of this project!

We are remodeling our kitchen, and we were just told that appliance companies are all raising their prices on May 1st. One company's prices will go up 40%. So Lutnick doesn't know what he's talking about.
CNBC: If a company were to say we're raising prices because of tariffs, is that a hostile act? LUTNICK: I think if you go out of your way to try to make it seem like your price has changed when it's nonsense. A 10% tariff is not going to change virtually any price.
