Welcome November, paintings by Edwardian artist Edith Holden.

Minor caveat: I do think PhD programs should yield folks able to work in field after, not just profit from student tenure as engines of academia (which, accurate; avoid phdcomics.com/comics/archi...). Student careers likely remain an afterthought, though, & scholars must exist for jobs to persist.

"It's past time to recognize that university administrators aren't going to lead the way out of this, [setting] the stage for leadership... from faculty, staff, & students, [where] most if not all progress in higher ed over the past 100 yrs has occurred." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #AcademicSky

"You encounter a strange, cult-like group that lives in almost total isolation from the outside world. They jealously guard their arcane knowledge and practice some exceedingly cruel rituals."

Over time, the entire city becomes more prosperous. Cities can capitalize on this pattern, even if their original transit systems are gone. They can build new transit systems through these highly productive areas and redevelop any empty or underused land.

Bookmarked this for teaching but also for my own kid when he's old enough. "You'll probably forget most of what you learn, especially if you don't end up using it repeatedly in future. What you will always have, though, is the mind that taking the courses made."

ICE has reached the highest death count since the early 2000s. Former employees cite: -There are way more people detained -ICE is making more arrests in communities, which means health histories are less known -years-long struggle to recruit medical pros www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

In the last nine months, ICE has spent a whopping $71,515,762 on purchases of “small arms, ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing.” Now, the president's masked militia will have access to “guided missile warheads.” trib.al/HE4yiXN
