To be fair, I did go through a Nazi phase, and then continued it on so I could know more about them so I can teach a course on them and tell everyone why they are just the worst of humanity and should be scorned, ridiculed and diminished from society. Does that count?

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market. Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army. Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

Always take sentences using “the Cloud” or “the Internet” and try replacing those phrases with “A shed in Virginia” to see how they hold up. “Our service is fully based in a shed in Virginia”; “All my files are in a shed in Virginia”; “A shed in Virginia was designed to survive a nuclear war”, etc.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only…

To the organizers of the No Kings, please add the rally I went to today, it was me on my couch with a Mundus Sine Caesaribus shirt on while sleeping b/c of exhaustion, to your numbers today. Also, where do I pick up my check from the billionaires clearly planning this?

Maybe I have just been taking too many L's recently, but I just don't see a change in gov anytime soon, meaning years/decades. SCOTUS is going to get rid of VRA, give R's more available seats then solidify gerrymandering even worse. No way for Dems to take either house. He isn't leaving WH.

#NoKings Cincinnati

Same energy

I see they are starting the process to declare the Dem party an illegal organization. Next step to dictatorship.

Someday this could be you or someone you love

Even more crazy is that he will give a blanket pardon to everyone before/when he is no longer pres, and none of this will be prosecuted and we just move along.

Damn that internal party polling must be really bad, to make sound like a Dem.

Still very upset that the Air Force doesn't run an Air Raid offense.

At least I don't have to watch PSU football the rest of the year, since they are not going to win another game this season.

Today is our annual Banned Books Read Out. And I am off to do my usually reading from THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, because plays/theatre has always been a target of censorship.

“We took the freedom of speech away,” President Trump boasted in his opening remarks at his “antifa roundtable” Wednesday. It was a jarring admission—perhaps a Freudian slip—from a president who is, indeed, evidently intent on eliminating free speech. trib.al/6RZEOqc

Definitely not doing anything for their "Stop calling us Nazis!" campaign.

I thought we all were acting like we'd been thinking about "plenary authority" for months?

It is so easy to deal with wannabe trolls like this, and it is frustrating that Senators are not getting lessons from their interns on how to deal with this garbage as a response.

Today I visited my parents and I picked up some Olive Garden, their choice, for lunch. And damn their prices are ridiculous, $23 for a chicken parm dinner. That is just ridiculous. They did give some sizable salads, but still that is way too expensive for a simple dinner.

"The strength of a people lies in its purity, not in its diversity." —Tom Metzger, a white supremacist, neo-Nazi and Klansman "Real strength comes from homogeneity, from people who share the same blood and values." —William Pierce, neo-Nazi, author of the Turner Diaries

If one is talking about about say the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, is that late 5th c or early 5th c? Since the dates are reverse compared to AD? Been thinking about this since a student wrote early 5th, and just got into my head.

Here’s another poem for National Poetry Day. This one is called ‘A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry’.

I was searching pics of puppies, for obvious reasons, and, well...look how cute this little one is!!!

Jeebus, help me Jeebus Everything is coming up Milhouse I was saying Boo-urns.

Something has become abundantly clear - High School teachers are screwing students badly. So many times I tell students exactly what to do for an assignment, and they just think I am messing with them, like there is some trick to what I am saying. I never trick students with stuff like this

Unfortunately I fear the answer to this question is - Yes.

I see the NFL is still not give the people the halftime show we all demand. Give us Weird AL for a halftime show you cowards!!!

So exhausting..

Spoiler: they don't want to.

For that, as I warned in March, you must look to Hoover's predecessor 100 years ago: William J. Burns who DID use his power as bureau director to go after his boss's political enemies for prosecution. theconversation.com/the-parallel...

The truly perfect business model doesn’t exi-

He really is that obnoxious grad student who stays in the program for one or two semesters, wants to do military history, argues with every single woman on the faculty, takes gender and Black history courses just to be a troll and finally leaves because he ‘was being censored’

Just got word that my proposal to start a History Minor on my campus was approved. Step one of my multi year master plan to turn all undergrads on campus into History Majors, has been completed.

I mean, he isn't wrong.

You ever just think about something and go "I should read more about them" I get like that with the Hittites, and I don't really know why. But I should get a few books on them and read about them more.

Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.

Oh just me realizing as I finalize some PowerPoints that in a few weeks I am going to talk about the great offensives of 1916 in 2-75 min lecture. The struggle of teaching prep courses, is having to rush through so much in such a short time frame.

BIRDS - The Eagles block the Rams FG and Jordan Davis *rumbles* for the TD

Well I hope the Rapture starts early in the day, because right now I have meetings or classes straight from 8 am to about 830 pm. I could use a break that day.

They are going full Horst Wessel.

This shit is so embarrassing. If it's so easy, replicate it. The Chiefs stopped it twice last weekend! Pussies

Would just love for someone to ask the simple question "What is communism, can you please define it since you use it so much"?

I am at the point that these things are meaningless. "Oh he is unpopular" great but the majority of Americans will still vote for him again, so what is the point of showing this stuff? I might be jaded, but this stuff just doesn't look to translated into reality.
