If you want to attend a sporting event to watch the game, there's nothing like basketball but if you want to attend a sporting event and not watch the game, baseball is basically the GOAT sport

I have trouble believing that this person wasn’t always against inclusion and diversity efforts in universities. Over their time as president I’m sure they would have worked to dismantle equity from the inside. Many such cases. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

Frankly, I think this is also true of university upper admin too.

Proud of these kids for caring about both the practical application of their education as well as the philosophical underpinnings of it in a way the school administration doesn’t

Hershey Park, but the security fails because of dumb design and low skilled worker wages, and all the chocolate starts killing the people. Then they keep trying to make Hershey park again for like five more movies.

The A’s moving to Las Vegas really bums me out. I don’t think I’ll ever accept them as anyone other than the Oakland A’s.

Good. I hope they don’t go watch the movie. Now if we can just put them all in a sound proof room without an internet connection the rest of us can go back to being excited about cool stuff.

So will these “non-traditional” outcomes be made available to the public that funded them?

I hope the biorxiv and chemrxiv do the same

Replace frail with soft and you are describing me playing sports as a child. My mom’s question to me when I played youth soccer was “Franky, when you are out there playing, what are you thinking about”. My answer, “a little bit of everything.”

These strategic plans for universities seem to be designed by people who actually hate what the university is supposed to be. Our "strategic plan" has led to closing down the chemistry, physics, languages (among others), no longer recognizing the faculty union, and shutting down money for research.

this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it

The faculty of St. John’s University deserve respect, a fair contract, and voice on the job without intimidation. We stand in solidarity with the union faculty fighting back against union busting from the administration. An injury to one is an injury to all.

RIGHT NOW! As the SJU Board of Trustees meets, SJU-AAUP is rallying to make clear to Father Shanley, the SJU admin, & the entire Board of Trustees that unlawful attacks on faculty will not be tolerated & faculty are united in their fight. UNION BUSTING IS UNHOLY!

We agree with the St. John’s University @aaup.org and Faculty Association members—union busting is unholy. St. John's is arbitrarily withdrawing recognition of its faculty unions, which have stood with staff for 50 years. The future of academia needs staff voices. #HandsOffSJUfaculty

@annevazquez.bsky.social took of picture of this truck while we were driving home. I’ll never unsee that eye staring back at me, deep into my soul.

So can I just send them my simulations and ask them to run the experiment? Where do I sign up?

Another rally demanding St. John’s administration stop trying to bust our union and come back to the bargaining table! Say it loud, say it slowly, union busting is unholy! Hands off #SJU faculty unions!

Addressing the political right's critique of higher ed is a sucker's game because the critique is insincere. Might there be room to reason with their billionaire backers who send their children to elite institutions? No, argues Prof Buchanan. They share the poisonous agenda of the office holders. 👇

Saw Venus and Jupiter together in the western sky. Even here in Queens you can still see planets.

Superb report from @sightline.org: "Apartments Are the Climate Solution Hiding in Plain Sight" Yes. Don't overcomplicate things, just build a bunch of f'ing apartments.

General guidelines - if you're a humanities/social science type, take as many quantitative and technical electives as you can stand. Stats, logic, CS, etc. If you're a STEM type, focus your electives on upper division humanities/social science classes taught by the best demanding instructors.

This is unacceptable. After 50 years of a bargaining relationship, St. John’s is cancelling the right to have a contract and using surveillance and intimidation to discourage faculty from organizing. Solidarity with SJU AAUP! @aaup.org www.ncronline.org/news/faculty...

Re: Stacks by Bon Iver and White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes to me are the sound of the late 2000s. I was living in the upper Midwest, in my late twenties while in grad school. Solidly elder millennial.

School yard video game rumor mill. Someone’s cousin discovered that if you hit the block under the hammer brothers in lever 8-3 exactly right, you can get the hammer for level 8-4 when you face bowser. It has to be true because someone else’s cousin also did it.

Wasn’t expecting to see banana in the Berry Club.

You know what, the Matrix Resurrections is an amazing movie!

I guess this is for science…

Chicago is the best American city.

I need to start ending every lecture with the tears in the rain speech. And then the students will stare back blankly because they haven’t seen blade runner a million times.

WTF, NYer. "If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work..." We do not. So much for the bastion of erudite journalism. This is sensationalism, damaging our most vital institution: education. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

So many university admin seem to have lost their minds lately.

It was great day today marching today with my fellow St. John’s University @aaup.org union members! Solidarity forever! Union forever! #maydaystrong #stjohns Hand off #SJU Union!

High five to everyone who turned out for the May Day march in NYC today or did anything #MayDayStrong related! Big thread of photos incoming! Here's the @socialists.nyc contingent with @dianaforqueens.com!

May Day started in Chicago. Not as a holiday, but as a fight for the 8-hour day and basic dignity at work after the Haymarket Massacre of 1886. That fight didn’t end, it went global as International Workers’ Day. This May Day: Strike. Boycott. Disrupt.
