Retrocedamos solo un año, hasta 1983, cuando R.E.M. publicaba su primer larga duración (antes habían publicado el EP Chronic Town). ¡Cómo no la iban a romper en los círculos universitarios y underground con este discazo que aún sigue sonando fresco y original!

The Trump administration
elected in 2016
came in riding on a lie about American carnage in American cities.
This was also a period of dramatically declined crime rates and violent crime rates, in particular, across U.S. cities.
So, there is nothing here that is factual in terms of the pretext for the calls here.
What is consistent is Donald Trump’s use of racist rhetoric,
racist ideas, and the use of policing to enact a domestic policy agenda.

“Slide Towards Fascism”: Khalil Gibran Muhammad on Racist Roots of Trump D.C. Takeover
After announcing the federal takeover of law enforcement in D.C. in the White House briefing room, President Trump painted a grim picture of the capital — including “roving mobs of wild youth” — that contrasts with crime figures showing D.C. reached a 30-year low in violent crime last January. Khalil Gibran Muhammad, professor of African American studies and public affairs at Princeton University, says the move is an extension of Trump’s “use of racist rhetoric, racist ideas, and th…

Federal funding is about to run out for 19 active #NASA space missions studying Earth's climate, exploring the Solar System, and probing mysteries of the Universe: https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/09/scientists-its-do-or-die-time-for-americas-primacy-exploring-the-solar-system/ - this year's budget expires at the end of this month, and Congress must act before October 1 to avert a government shutdown; if Congress passes a budget before then, it will most likely be in the form of a continuing resolution, an extension of this year's funding levels into the first few weeks or months of fiscal year 2026.

Toposes with enough points as categories of étale spaces
We extend Makkai duality between coherent toposes and ultracategories to a duality between toposes with enough points and ultraconvergence spaces. Our proof generalizes and simplifies Makkai's original proof. Our main result can also be seen as an extension to ionads of Barr's equivalence between topological spaces and relational modules for the ultrafilter monad. In view of the correspondence between toposes and geometric theories, we obtain a strong conceptual completeness theorem, in the sen…

Some of those are among nearly 105,000 employees who took regular retire…

that the suspensions violated her June  preliminary injunction
in which she ordered the National Science Foundation
to restore 114 grants it had terminat…
