Academics as Optimistic Shoe Salespeople Our academic action allows us to offer the one thing the world needs right now – hope.

"What role should academics play in a world that is falling apart?" Creative thinking. Truth. Hope. Academics have a vital task in the building of new and better human worlds. We must not betray it, despite attacks on every side. We must work while the light lasts.

What year is this? Polio?!

There are still people alive who remember life before the polio vaccine!

My father-in-law was temporarily disabled by polio as a toddler.

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story.

My photo shows a Roman fresco of a brown rabbit with long ears, curled on the ground, with a rounded, soft-looking body. Its head is lowered as if nibbling at three figs placed in front of it. The figs are small and round with short stems, painted in dark reddish and bluish tones. From Pompeii. Now on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.

Here’s a charming Roman fresco of a little rabbit eating figs 🐰❤️

From Pompeii, 45-79 AD.

I do not believe that Yoshis can even be bound to contracts, much less *understand* tax law. They are sweet but very simple creatures.

My mom says that cats stare to hynotize their prey.

I have not known this to be true.

I had assumed the Queen no longer engages in huntress activities. And probably would not like being carried to and from your office unless there were some serious treats involved. Like several boiled shrimp.

Is the Little Lion a fan of our eight legged friends? Is Penn?

That makes sense! They should live where the yummy bugs are found!
