I used to tell my Jewish friends - even weeks ago - that Columbia (where I’ve served as a professor and a dean for 15 years) was still a safe place for their kids to live and study.

I’ve come to doubt that. So does a campus rabbi, Ellie Buechler.

Trump's Truth Social company posted its new financials to the SEC today.

The firm generated just $4.1 million (with an M) revenue for all of 2023, while racking up $58 million in net losses.

Market cap is > $6 billion.

(This isn't an April 1 joke.)

Given her performance under oath, Ivanka Trump, 42, is clearly too senile to serve as president

Image The judge re Ivanka: "The Court found her inconsistent recall, depending on whether she was questioned by OAG or the defense, suspect. What Ms. Trump cannot recall is memorialized in emails and documents; in the absence of her memory, the documents speak for themselves"

A lot of attention re Florida's curriculum has focused on slavery.

Meanwhile, the references in the "American History Strand" relating to the dispossession & extermination of Native Americans get such benign passages as "Explain how westward expansion affected Native Americans"

"Tucker and Hannity and Maria and others, they were gonna basically explain, Fox was in a search for the truth."
-- Dan Webb, the lawyer representing Fox in Dominion's defamation suit.

The Fox reporter calls this a "quick update" By contrast, here's the motto of @MidHudsonNews, the site that broke the story of this hoax:

"We’re the news source where other reporters get their news."

Remember the kickass, print-only Oklahoma newspaper that recently revealed local officials making threatening and racist remarks?

It now has a website! mccurtaingazettenews.com 1/ The newspaper caught officials on tape, wondering about hiring a hitman to murder local journalists.

So now the editor responds: “If people who hate us kill me, the sad truth is they will likely accomplish much of what they want.” 2/ mccurtaingazettenews.com/call-the-edito…

Apparently, organic chemistry and marine science are too “woke” for DeSantis’s hand-picked trustees at the New College of Florida. apnews.com/article/new-co… Image Here’s Prof. Black’s online bio.

Nothing screams CRT @realchrisrufo-fearing wokeness like “polymerization catalysis” and “transition metal catalysts for acceptorless dehydrogenation.” Image

Lingering questions from the Fox $787 million payout to Dominion:

1. Dominion’s attorney talked about the “hell” that the firm’s employees went through. How much of this fortune will those people get? Image 2. What were the negotiations like, particularly between Monday pm when sources were pooh-pooling a settlement and Tuesday afternoon when it was announced? Did Fox sweeten the offer? Did Dominion figure they’d won? Or was it all just a ruse while the details were hammered out?

On CNN today, GOP Rep. @DanCrenshawTX says "if we had a minimum of 2 armed guards or police officers in every school in America, you'd probably prevent these" shootings. ... You're not going to get rid of guns."

There are more than 125,000 schools in the US. This is my old high school in Denver.
It is a huge school.
It is still in use today.
And Crenshaw thinks that a couple of guards could prevent a shooting by someone armed with a semi-automatic rifle?

DeSantis’s crew has been so busy whining about the press, it didn’t see the Orlando Sentinel’s public notices that would’ve alerted them to Disney’s “King Charles III” ploy.

This, citing Maria Bartiromo's Nov. 8 interview of Sidney Powell, is not what Fox's lawyers were hoping the judge would find.
