Some life tips from a 16th century book on animals: 1: Goats are crafty and if you aren't careful, they'll con you. 2: If you're mean to cows & oxen, then they'll inflict their revenge when you least expect it. 3: Be nice to donkeys: They have to put up with us...and they never have a day off.

In The Campus Crisis Toolkit @drlisacorrigan.bsky.social connects speculative finance with speculative fiction and I want to embroider this line: "Budgets are moral documents, and new budgets tell a story of changing morals." 🔥🔥🔥

Lots of respect for @seandlawrence.bsky.social honesty about his confusion and naivete about how the university works and what counts as normal, as a new professor right out of grad school. It's why I run this class the way I do. Ethical collaboration requires understanding complex univ systems.

The @seandlawrence.bsky.social chapter pairs so well with the anonymous chapter on WVU Facts. What does it look like to essentially do advocacy work from the stance of a historian doing oral history, by doing a project through the front door? How does that differ from underground exposé work?

I don’t write the headlines but I do like this one (post-Slaughter argument roundtable for @nytimes.com with @stevevladeck.bsky.social & @williambaude.bsky.social) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.

Remember when Cory Booker proposed it and it was 'communism' and it was 'communism' and Thomas Piketty proposed it and it was 'communism' and Jon Stewart proposed it and it was 'communism' and Trump proposed it and it's an 'Australian-style retirement program'? www.cnn.com/2025/12/03/e...

the environmental law prof reply all-debate about what exactly we are supposed to be teaching continues

No money for nature coming from the Climate & Nature Fund! The Government have completely undermined what this fund was about.

Historisches Gutachten Int.Gerichtshof: Länder gesetzlich verpflichtet (nicht nur durch Pariser Abkommen) gegen Klimawandels vorzugehen u Schäden zu beheben. Auch Stopp neuer Öl-/Gasfelder u fossiler Subventionen. Risiko vor Gericht zu verlieren nun deutlich höher. www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

Das ist historisch! Einstufung einer sauberen Umwelt als Menschenrecht durch den Internationalen Gerichtshof 👏👏 Jetzt gilt umso mehr: Wenn die Bundesregierung ihre Ziele beim Klima- und Naturschutz nicht deutlich nachbessert, handelt sie klar völker- und menschenrechtswidrig.

Glad my graduate alma mater cut 60 degree programs in subjects that require people to think so that they could offer this. Looking forward to living in a world full of Prompt Engineers.

Getting on a flight to Istanbul, apparently everyone with Global Entry on the Turkish Airlines flight have had their TSA PreCheck invalidated. When I asked if it was normal to have PreCheck ignored for no reason, explanation was "there is a reason, you just don't know what it is..."

So good to see the FT finally call out the Conservative Party for its reckless non-sense on climate: on.ft.com/451lwfr “How magical thinking came for net zero critics”

I will never take anyone seriously who says we need to raise the birth rates or face human extinction but it’s especially sickening now that the oligarchs have chosen to hoard even more resources by cutting off aid and killing millions of kids in the process

The rise of Lyme disease in the Northeast US can be traced back to 18th and 19th century deforestation, followed by reforestation without predator recovery. A history professor explains: buff.ly/PKYbODV By @seandlawrence.bsky.social‬, West Virginia University

Since LLMs are trained on mass language use on the internet, the lesson here is that, as it turns out, most of what people say and write most of the time is bullshit.

Honestly loathe that abundance stuff is probably just gonna shape up into a left-punching pro-privatization donor pleasing soiree instead of state-capacity building labor liberalism

The decline of large seed-dispersing animals has serious implications for trees and other flora. It's also further proof of how very short-sighted it is to view forests as merely bunches of trees, rather than the complex *ecosystems* they are (or at least, should be). www.nature.com/articles/s44...
