The idea that higher education should only be pursued as a way to make as much money as possible is evidence we’ve entirely lost the plot of what it means to be human
Obama is absolutely right here.
There is no doubt that if we had more women in charge, there would be less war, better healthcare, better education, and less income inequality.
Obama: "If you put women in charge of every government for two years... I have a strong belief that things would be better. I'm confident about that."
Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
The narrative should be Mike Tomlin’s time was done in Pittsburgh and Art Rooney II hired Mike McCarthy… Then allowed him to build a roster around a 42-year old quarterback who is going to retire in one year. This is a recipe for disaster. #Steelers#NFL
I think people underestimate how much of a luxury it is to genuinely like your normal day. not the holiday, not the birthday, not the reservation. literally thursday

It takes a special kind of business genius to bankrupt a multimillion-dollar, congressionally funded performing arts center that was running a surplus just two years earlier.
Trump's response to the AI safety crisis reminds me of the early days of COVID in 2020. He's so far out of his depth - morally, intellectually, and in terms of his ability to care about anyone else - that it's as if there were no President at all. We're on our own, people.
A “strong and smart President” would not trust billionaire AI tech companies to regulate themselves and put people before their own bottom line.
We cannot wait. Congress must act.
All I learned from all of the 9/11 voicemails is that at the end of the day all that matters is LOVE & Family . Nothing else . Everything else is nothing.
@atrupar I work with autistic teenagers. When you meet the parents/grandparents: “Ah, that is where it comes from.” Many adults gets diagnosed after their kids get their diagnosis.
To me, its not even about Mitch McConnell anymore.
We have a real problem when a Senator can just disappear for six weeks with only the vaguest of explanations & the whole institution just kinda shrugs it off.
Every other job in America would fire you for this.
