Excellent!
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Rachel Maddow called Bill a genius of exposition. Which rings true to me. Who else finds such clear, concise, vivid ways to sum up where we are and where we could and should be?
“The water would be supplied by Carvins Cove Reservoir, the primary drinking water source for Botetourt County and much of the Roanoke Valley” 👍
I think war and cruelty have a lot to do with it. Meeting with a student yesterday, one of us alluded to the contemporary moment and we both visibly, involuntarily winced. It’s a lot to have to keep repressing…
Even wilder — folks in their 80s and 90s — awash in some serious complexities.
Also: name and likeness IP violation? We know there’s no property in the bag of words, but isn’t it illegal to publish under someone else’s name? Does trademark law matter here?
Would love to hear / read this!
for what it cost for our allies to shoot down three of our own planes by accident in a murderous illegal war we could have funded the NEH at 150% of its historic peak funding for a year

A graph displaying poll results revealing that a majority of Democrats, Independents, Republicans, Non-MAGA Republicans and non-conservative Independents/Republicans link climate change with rising home insurance costs.
Why are Democrats afraid to talk about climate, when so many people already connect the dots between fossil fuel polluting emissions and their family’s financial costs?
Home insurance is a HUGE cost for so many families, and getting worse fast!!
Once = pounce! But you knew that! ❤️

What extraordinary resources! Don’t know how the BBC got in there!
I used to take my students on a slow stroll through the reference stacks to show them what BBC extraordinary resources lay right there….
Lovely! Is that Mark Peterson in the last photo?

Excellent advice on shifting the terms of debate.
A return to figurations of the ear in C19 Af Am lit and culture, bringing sound studies and book history into dialogue along the way. Utterly original and brilliant!
Cactus. Turned in an onerous report I had been working on for weeks and participated in a marvelous dissertation defense. A lucky if crazy busy day.
So sorry to hear this, Bonnie. My condolences.
At least 5 members of the U.S. men's team didn't show up for the White House visit. No reason given officially, but 4 of the 5 are from Minnesota.
re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

I got pulled back in for the year and so strain against it. Though I am deeply committed to and proud of the units I’ve led. The struggle continues!
Those tooth stools are terrifying! I’d find a new dentist!
NYC public libraries are some of the last places in the city where you can use the bathroom without purchasing anything. Again, we need city government to stop underfunding the libraries.
