Being a university President is incredibly hard right now. But if you can't tell than Stefanik is a scorpion who will go after you no matter what, maybe its not the job for you. Shafik burned credibility with her university stakeholders and got nothing in return.

This guy started mansplaining to me about how I don’t understand Bluesky’s vastly superior algorithm before going straight to this. Lovely place, really.

Yeah, at this point it’s not at all obvious to me which Place is the Bad one. It might actually be worse that these are real people and not Russian bots.

Well, that was fun for the hour it lasted. And now we’re back to we, the Jews of the world, being so very tired, and This Site being not at all meaningfully different from the Other Site, aside from the total blindness to the anti-Semitism coming from a different part of the political spectrum.

First night in a while I've been optimistic about this place's future. I'm simultaneously shitposting & "arguing" with folks about six different topics, including gefilte fish, Derek Jeter, & whether beer or whiskey is proof of God's benevolent existence, and actually following news discussions.

The salmon/trout Joan Nathan recipe is the one to make if you think you hate gefilte fish. It makes you realize that the things you've eaten previously are needlessly awful, complicated, or both.

Yes, sure, Jeter absolutely gets into the Hall. He's also absolutely <not> a 99.7% first-ballot HOFer if he's not a Yankee. And again, I give you Lou Whitaker and his 75.1 WAR, who was a vastly better fielder than Derek Jeter, & is still waiting, because he played in Detroit.

The homemade is so much better and not hard. Joan Nathan’s recipe, with salmon & trout, or all salmon. I’ll never go back to jars.
