The underlying memo is one of the most jaw-dropping things I've ever read re: higher ed. Some actual sentences: "Upon the conclusive termination of all designated teach-out programs, no degree culminating student research within the TTU System will be permitted to center on SOGI topics."

INSPIRED BY DOG FOOD. come on. I do not believe this is a thing. And for the 7 people for whom it is, I beg you to eat human food.

Just realized that for clarification i should say these posters are not in a classroom. My children got to read the bill text. Like normal parents have their kids do

10 commandments posters are going to require a tremendous effort by our overworked and underpaid teachers. My 9 yo wanted to know how to pronounce and understand "thou" and what "covet" means. The manservant/maidservant parts were just too weird for him but I'm sure he'll come back to it

If you’re a law professor thinking about reposting the claim that the Unite the Right rally was staged or faked, I’d encourage you to read the transcripts from Sines v Kessler. I know they run several thousand pages of testimony from the organizers, but they’re easily accessible and linked below.

"The court wants to give a win to Texas so it concludes that it can ignore controlling Supreme Court precedent”

I said what I said

Gerrymandering sucks. But I've been a hyper-gerrymandered Texas voter all my adulthood, and I am tired of Democrats tying an arm behind their backs. Every Blue state should gerrymander, until we finally get a national anti-gerrymandering law that ends the practice entirely.

Texasplaining to a Virginian who is excited to get a Dem rep, "Don't get used to it. If you're doing gerrymandering right, your district will shift all the time. You'll never even know which one you're in. You'll just crack and then pack and back again." I've had at least 3 districts in 7 yrs in TX

I literally just taught Mahmoud and Mirabelli and used this as an example of maybe how the principle might cut the other way. I should know better by now!

Just great. Can't wait to see the 10 commandments adorn the walls of every classroom in my kids' schools. Where's my Mahmoud opt-out?

Very cool initiative!

New reconstruction nearly the same as the old? Very few women (or black men?) permitted a say

This is mansplaining at its best. In that it is explaining to men.

Although I think the Yale report raises some important issues, my main take away was disappointment that a university would provide such a shallow and empirically unsound analysis.

Compelling oped about the Supreme Court's undermining of vaccines, public institutions, and society. The pace of change can't be overstated. As @zalmanr.bsky.social says, "A year ago, the constitutionality of childhood vaccine mandates was not a serious question. It is now."

I cannot stop talking about this episode of @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social. Risks include dropping Stanton facts on all your friends. The boss of Susan B. Anthony! The least racist white woman Frederick Douglass said he had ever met! (until she wasn't). Run don't walk

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi and Nevaeh Crain died during miscarriages in Texas after doctors delayed treatment. The state’s medical board has ruled that substandard care led to the deaths, but the doctors were given minimal punishment. By Kavitha Surana and Lizzie Presser

A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur. And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops). Check out YouGov's new polling on Americans and dinosaurs: yougovamerica.substack.com/p/whats-your...

I have seen 3 golf related posts. About a golf course that hates women and black people and jews. And that was 3 posts too many Golf sucks. Golf courses are abominations

It's really my fault for not being more specific about *where* to hang the socks that were still damp from the dryer

If you are wondering why UT fans were asking for Sarah Graves to get on the court just now:

This Day in Labor History: March 29, 1937. The Supreme Court decided the case of West Coast Hotel Company v. Parrish. This 5-4 decision upheld Washington’s minimum wage law for women as constitutional. For once, the Supreme Court did something decent for workers! Let's talk about it!

I thought I was fighting the patriarchy by man-colding better than any man. Turns out it's the flu

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

So no one knows what or where High Point is, right?

A practice rooted in our nation’s history and tradition…

Well, well, well. All them dogs cowering

Hard to argue with this logic "Yes. Improving HVAC systems enhances preservation conditions for collections, aligning with the goal of providing greater access to diverse audiences. #DEI,” ChatGPT responded

Move over Nate Silver, my 12 yr old is in the top .84% of brackets

My brain is broken. I thought HHS was recommending vaccines based om their weight loss potential

I dont really have a lot invested in the men's tournament. #HookEm still. But UNC flushing itself down the toilet is always fun

I do not have words for this. Or, to be clearer, I do not have words that I will post on the public internet.

Cats are such graceful, majestic creatures

God, please make them be impotent...in every way. Let them stub their toes at every door. Lead them to see the errors of their way and rend their garments with shame. But most of all keep Talarico safe.

My wife @lilianasegura.bsky.social went to Alabama prepared to witness an execution that would have defied any reasonable definition of justice. Instead, she got to see how a rare display of humanity from Alabama's governor gave life to a condemned man, his family, and the people around him.

As far as i can tell, parenthood is yelling brush your teeth over and over, night after night. 12 years and counting

Not great when it is 1-1 austin salt lake and only austin players have scored...#AustinFC
