Splendid piece: I think "Noem was incompetent, corrupt, and seemingly indifferent to both the law and to human suffering. But in this, she was not so much a liability for the Trump administration as a perfect embodiment of Maga governance" especially apt and well said.
"Mistake" doesn't seem to me quite right. "Coup" or "putsch" maybe.
If. Some of those prevailing winds--eg AI's great, UVA is a business school that does some other stuff, UVA is a landowner that does some education on the side, the feds must be mollified at all cost--stink. He could be worse (he's not Cucc), but we're looking at some leaderless years at a bad time.
The thing to root for is that DJT wants to be with the other guys so he gets them to try to shave off Teddy's mustache and Teddy's whole jaw tumbles on to the visitors' center.
Lovely: thanks for that.
Early voting starts in two days--voting early is a good way to avoid Election Day interference.

uvamagazine.org/articles/i_h... THIS week is the right one for such drivel? I give them credit for at least citing the RTD's article showing the illegitimacy of his contract. But what he needs to be ready to listen to is "Bye bye."
Great book, but I hope youβre relishing what youβve achieved in helping create that enthusiasm. (And I hope youβre relishing what get to eat lunch.)

There's a plaque at the northeast corner of Broadway and 43rd commemorating the birth there of Eugene O'Neill at what was then the Barrett Hotel.
If he said the same stuff with a bottle in his hand he'd sound like a guy in a Jimmy Buffett song.
Take 5 minutes to get AI to develop an app for you to sell the univs. and you can triple your income--not just for the app. sales but charging them for pointing out and half-fixing its flaws.
Conference. But it's good here.
Call yourself a consultant and you can command triple figures just for breathing near the univ. admin buildings.

Montreal, unsurprisingly, outwinters the most wintry Virginia winter
Easy mistake: Ozzie Smith was such a great player it is sometimes hard to remember he wasn't fictional. (I say that as a Mets fan who rooted hard against him in the 80s.)
I had the honor of knowing Rex Lee Jin, former VP of the Navajo Nation and contributor to the UN Decl. on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a bit at the Bread Loaf School of English: a remarkable, capable, inspiring humble man who'll be greatly missed, gone too young. navajotimes.com/reznews/form...
This squad includes some of the most impressive scholars I know, doing great educational work.
Schools that pay for their teachers to attend www.middlebury.edu/school-engli... benefit greatly. But not the same as paying teachers--NEH seminars and institutes have done that. Gilder-Lehrman has travel stipends for history.
Here in Virginia, we had snowdrops bloom in the garden this week, but they are barely visible today in the snow. I hope the storm's not too rough up there--a minor one down here this time, though the ice from the previous one isn't entirely gone.
βwe strongly urge the newly-reconstituted Board to rescind the appointment of Mr. Beardsley, form a search committee with more than token faculty representation and begin anew theβ¦search for a president whose scholarly record, professional experience and personal attributes better qualify them.β π₯π₯π₯
One of the most powerful events/protests I've been to at McIntire and Preston was a few months back when local unions described their recent achievements--which were many and major.
Was this really written by someone whose job is doing marketing for Anthropic? Not a lot of credibility for advocating for writers if so.

whereas the damage you have done to faith in the courtβs independence, fairness, and morality will take generations, or, as I hope, a complete recasting of the Court, to repair.
Though some coverage of this weekβs tariffs decision is celebrating it as an indication of the Courtβs return to its proper independent, non-partisan role, I assure you that such reactions are in the minority and will be fleeting,
In an age of AI harvesting, re-posting, and screenshots, headlines like this are irresponsible--conspiracy fodder. Save the glib irony for the body of the article.
