Can they go with?

Have they explained the why or did they just want this video

Texas a&m isn't a university any more

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

If I’m understanding tpusa’s own statement here the instructor basically said “you can also be excused if you’re going to an actual event/protest” www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Just listened to @unclearpod.bsky.social on The Firm and not one mention of the fact that the Cruise character is apparently an acrobat?

I don't know who Marc Bauerlein is, but shame on him for participating in this farce and demeaning his colleagues. www.thecollegefix.com/loyola-maryl...

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

One of these men is who I saw gave the speech referenced in my previous post. Guess who!

I was thinking of doing a full post on this but I'll just note that I just attended a talk by a prominent msnbc legal commentator and Supreme Court advocate supposedly on the side of the good guys and was repeatedly reassured that the court still does law

Absolutely unreal. What happens when the bubble pops? www.rockpapershotgun.com/one-of-pc-ga...

I don’t think a high number of pardons is a bad thing at all. There are many, many people who deserve clemency, far more than ever get pardons. It’s *who* he’s pardoning that is the bad thing.

Oh no www.thebanner.com/community/tr...

The Youths are about to learn why for a large part of Millennials' 20s, the word "Republican" was a slur and anyone who was just pretended to be a libertarian.

Anyone have experience using Zotero as a primary research database? I've been using Devonthink for years, but the new versions are very generative AI-forward and while I'm happy to support the product, it feels silly to do so for features I don't envision using 🗃️

I'm not the only one who sees it right?

Make the fundraising e-mails stop

Had my first brief encounter with conservative higher ed trolling via a request for comment from a website called the College Fix. Not about my courses; not even about my department or discipline. I went and took a look at the articles there and there is a clear pattern:

When I would occasionally say I probably dodged a bullet when I didn't get a job at TX tech I had no idea how real that would get

How did I end up on graham platners email list and if he hates fundraising so much why am I hearing so much about it from him?

The message here to students at OU is that you can get away with anything if you just claim your religious freedom is being violated.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Because I know you were all waiting, my list of John Carpenter's films: 1. The Thing (1982) 2. They Live (1988) (Basically a tie) 3. Halloween (1978) 4. The Fog (1980) 5. Escape from New York (1981) 6. Starman (1984) 7. Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) 8. Prince of Darkness (1987)

Just going to note that the third way guy interviewed on @onthemedia.bsky.social complaining about language use himself used one of the supposedly forbidden words to describe *incarcerated people"

I'm late to watching the second season of Andor but one of the things I really like it about it is that infuses Star Wars with culture. Dancing. TV and entertainment. Commerce.

Anyone who is still assessing DOGEs success on the basis of spending levels has completely lost the plot. That wasn't the point?

Three weeks ago to the day a tree fell on my 6 month old car. Today some kids tried to steal my rental.

OK I admit it a bit more imprinting than usual

I swoon over Mamdani too but everyone remember that Trump is always just imprinted by the last person he spoke with.

I'm almost done watching all of John Carpenter's theatrical films, which has been super fun (especially listening along with Blank Check). Thinking of doing the Wachowskis next, but open to suggestions. Looking forward to sharing my ranking of JC's filmography.

Good thing MS doesn’t have any existing water or heat issues

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

Costs (the money needed to provide an education) have risen. Prices (what students pay) have been at or below inflation for the past decade. That doesn't get nearly enough attention. NPR folks, you know where to find me.

Pretty amazing accomplishment when one thinks of all the old blogs that disappeared into thin air. Been reading since (almost) the beginning.

All I want is to be able to take the train from Baltimore to Pittsburgh but this route apparently does not exist. Unreal.

In the US, the only leverage many academics have is threatening to leave. That leverage is growing weaker and weaker as jobs disappear. At this point, beyond a few superstars, it’s effectively nil. There are, of course, other forms of leverage, but they require working in concert.

Just thinking about the folks applying for that environmental history job at Texas a&m. Definitely nothing to say about race and gender there

Because Trump and Epstein were actually friends. Probably Trump's one and only in his entire life. Wonder what they had in common

Pluribus has the best pilot episode of a drama that I have seen in basically forever.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Lol

Happy to have an essay on archives in what looks to be an amazing new volume reflecting on queer history and memory in France #skystorians www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/book/10....

lol

My entire life right now.

Seems probable the lesson many feckless Dems took from last week is "we don't need to be popular to win"

Now is a specially good time to call your senators if you like me hate talking to people on the phone. Just left my voice mails.

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

With respect to the judge he has given up actual power for...what exactly? A friendly write up in the atlantic?
