I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

How I feel as a dazzling urbanite in a rustic setting such as west, central Ohio.

I love having a job. I highly value where I work. But I wish "merit raises" were near the Consumer Price Index/inflation.

Greatest wedding reception activity ever? Probably yes.

Good, well-demonstrated critique of higher ed admin salary bloat in this thread

NEW: With a burst of pardons and commutations, Biden granted clemency to nearly 10 times as many people today (1,538) as he had in the nearly four year-period leading up to today (161). It's part of a growing trend of late-term clemency.

The defendants have vowed to fight this case all the way to SCOTUS

Why is DOJ suing dogs? Cats I can understand, but dogs...?!

Putting together the year-end piece, and here's what I get for US murders and rate per year from 1960-2024. The 2024 estimate is possibly a little low and obviously not final, but the sharp decline in the last two years is remarkable.

Please also add/repost the second Starter Pack, which I made because so many great criminologists have joined bluesky lately that the first starter pack got full. As before, please reply if you'd like to be added -- I'll do my very best to include all CJ academics here. go.bsky.app/7qmM6yB

Did you know parts of our beautiful Lake Shore Campus used to be, simply, lake? In 1908, a seawall was constructed to extend the shore by the intersection of Devon and Sheridan. In 1989, Loyola University Chicago undertook an Erosion Protection Extension Project to secure the campus footprint.
