The Fall of Mark Welsh

screw wikipedia, we deserve a proper oral history written by a badass academic

President Convicted Felon orders National Park Service gift shops to purge all items referring to diversity, which will be tough when it comes to historic sites involving the Civil War & slavery, such as Kingsley Plantation in #Florida. www.eenews.net/articles/tru... h/t @sejorg.bsky.social

The same bit from the other end. My school made me take science classes, as part of being a well rounded student, and I loved it all so much I switched from pre-law to engineering. Very few 18 year olds know what they want, or understand the options. The "consumer" model is anti-person.

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar

one thing about these arguments that college should be directly job-relevant is that it's REALLY HARD TO GAME OUT what specific skills will be needed in 4 years, let alone 10, 15, ESPECIALLY in technical fields. Even strictly instrumentally, critical thinking and broad coverage is a better answer.

Part of me would want to say no just to see if it worked

I said: THERE WILL BE NO COUNTRY FOR OLD BLOOD. Suzanne said: ONE THERE WILL BE NO COUNTRY FOR OLD BLOOD AFTER ANOTHER.

In 2021, I founded Our Tallahassee with Bob Lotane to provide an alternative news source to the useless Tallahassee Democrat. We broke stories about the Chamber of Commerce and the extremism of our police chief and caught a lot of grief doing it. Bob died today. He was a good man. I miss him.

Band has a chance to release a really funny album…

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

Scientists if you’re like “man I wish more people knew about X” then I humbly suggest hiring an artist to make a thing that communicates X and then put it into the world because it’s so fun, extremely “hell yeah” inducing, you gotta try it.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary: His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

When will Board Game Arena get Mornington Crescent?

I had a weird sort of upbringing where my Beatles-fan mother made sure I knew Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes scholar before I'd ever heard a song by him, but my dad had been roommates with Bob Morrison, who studied nuclear engineering but wrote "Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places."

In one thousand years when all is ash and bone, a lone survivor will walk across the barren wasteland of all that remains. They will remember nothing of the world that was, except maybe that riff from Seven Nation Army.
