An acquired taste, like iocane powder. Wholly unwilling to spellcheck my tweets.
NEW Q&A: Is anthropology hopelessly politicized, more than any other humanistic field? That's the charge that's flying around this summer, so I wanted to hear from Carolyn Rouse, president of the American Anthropological Association. She had lots to say. chronicle.com/article/is-ant…
What’s sad to me… is that Lindsay Graham probably thought he could outlast Trump and then reconcile his morality after that. There is no after that now.
Kylian Mbappé on why he refuses to promote sports betting: “Sports betting is destructive. It has ruined the lives of some people I know.

🚨 THIS IS COMEDIC GOLD. CNN, never let Scott Jennings go, PLEASE!! PANELIST: DOGE is not about "cutting spending." It's about making government too small to stop Trump. JENNINGS: Why would the government stop Trump? Isn't he the head of the government? Why would they try to stop him? PANELIST: Because he's creating a dictatorship. JENNINGS: Your view is that Trump is shredding the constitution... it seems you guys believe the unelected bureaucracy has a responsibility to resist political leadership. PANELISTS: My God, seriously? Do we need to give you a civics lesson? The legislative branch, the FBI, you control the military - this is what you do in a dictatorship... JENNINGS: Are you suggesting the president is not the commander-in-chief of the military? PANELIST: The president will put in charge someone who will contravene the constitution. Soon, this conversation will look very silly to you. Right now, you're gaslighting. JENNINGS: Who? The president is in charge of the military, is he not? CNN HOST: Yes, the president is in charge of the military, that is how it works.

Update from the reflecting pool! The pool has been drained, and there are no signs of the giant gash that Donald Trump has been lying about. No indications of major vandalism. Just a bad paint job. The only thing that’s been exposed is that Trump has been lying about this.
What's a movie that no one should ever have to suffer through? 🎥 🍿 🙈
