One album under a groove, aka, intelligentsia rap (1994).

The album that imagined my teenage years

The view from my window, rich in color and change.

What's occurring at IU's Jewish Studies is a shanda! The chancellor and the interim director are trying to "save" the program by ripping it apart through deceit and by disregarding academic freedom & integrity. (The story doesn't capture everything.) This is happening not just in Jewish Studies.

It's sad funny that Ross Douthat thinks that Nick Fuentes is the problem.

This is news!

Rep. Joe Neguse and all sorts of other good people will be on KFFR Radio today at 4:30pm (Mountain Time) to discuss the East Troublesome Fire. Tune in and listen! kffr.org

When you represent a district larger than 8 states, you understand the importance of showing up in EVERY single community. Excited to traverse Colorado’s 2nd district today — with visits to 3 counties, 5 cities, a town-hall (our 17th this year!) & a whole lot of coffee ☕️ Stay tuned! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

There's only one answer—and one answer only—to the question "Who robbed the Louvre?"

One more example of what is happening at Indiana University. The administration unjustifiably violates regular order, then refuses to explain itself, hiding behind silence and misinformation.

This article broadly captures much of what is happening at Indiana University, but especially this: IU's Administration is not being honest about what it is doing to the Bloomington campus.

Or even worse, an associate emeritus professor @slselka.bsky.social

We’ve created a virtuous cycle where the bigger our community gets, the more resources we have to get the best writers. And then the community grows even more. You all made this happen. Thank you. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-washin...

Pretty sure that the funeral driving by is for the death of the rule of law and due process.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

The silence of IU's Board of Trustees and the Administration is deafening.

My fellow academics: the @aaup.org is doing amazing work, successfully! defending faculty and universities against attacks from Vought/the Trump administration. Proud to be a member. It takes only 3 minutes to join, to support them fighting the good fight for all Americans ✊ www.aaup.org

Rory McIlroy's "wife, Erica, also had a drink land on her." Land on her? What is she, a tarmac? the moon?

I am so glad that I have no idea who Chotiner is.

I know that The Death of Stalin has been getting a lot of love since Friday (and rightly so), as has Weekend at Bernie's, but this is the film to watch.

Ok, hear me out—a Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

The Beastie Boys agree

The Budapest Memorandum. The security guarantee already in place.

"Lost in these vicissitudes is the notion that American colleges and universities should be countercultural institutions, in the best sense of that term."

It's hard to avoid recalling this passage from the English historian Tony Judt:

Time to repost this (from three weeks ago)

Gradually, and then all at once.

"The story of Diego and Emily is the story of the excesses and reach of Trump’s immigration regime. But it’s also a story of love itself—the ways in which one finds it and it finds you and how it can bind people together in trying circumstances."

Robert Prevost's—now Pope Leo XIV—assessment of the ideal sermon: “He’d say that a homily should be short and to the point, like a miniskirt,” said Elsa Ocampo, 81, a volunteer at the Our Lady of Montserrat church in Trujillo.

I'm going to do one of my favorite undergraduate moves. Here's the dictionary definition of "eighty-six" (Oxford English Dictionary).

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

More insightful work from @yarotrof.bsky.social whose knowledge about word affairs and the dynamics of global power knows no bounds.

To complement (and compliment) @filthylucre78.bsky.social’s very cool 12” 45 of Lou Reed’s Street Hassle, I’m spinning Spacemen 3’s Ode to Street Hassle.

A perfect day in the mountains. 3.5 miles of skiing, two bull moose (in the background), and my favorite person!

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

Once again, I get all my up-to-date news about American politics from The Clash.

My State of the Union: Black Market Clash (Side 2 for those who know)

I posted this nine days ago. It is even more meaningful since yesterday's disgraceful behavior in the Oval Office by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.

There is no consolation for Trump's decision to slander and abandon Ukraine and our European allies. But if there was one, it is the solace of seeing guilt and shame on Marco Rubio's face.

🔥 WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : “The richest man in the world, who gets money from the government, is now going to decide how the government spends its money? That is not how the 🇺🇸 system works. That is insane. The potential for corruption is unprecedented.”

The house is starting another Jan 6 committee. I actually look forward to re-litigating this. Let’s do it. 187 minutes of watching people assault cops, then pardoning them Bring it on Mike

Emergency video! In this i discuss the pardons of criminals, and much more! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

I joined @mrjamesob.bsky.social this morning to discuss the January 6th Pardons, and the what could be the creation of Trump's very own brownshirts www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDiW...
