Oh crap. Now he has to go! Judge Says Trump Can Attend Son’s High School Graduation in Florida nytimes.com/2024/04/30/nyr…
My first thought when I see this: we need cops on horseback, stat!

Coming to grips w/ reality that in discussing a certain favorite NFL team of mine for foreseeable future I will have to refer to a player as "Kool-Aid"
Essential context for discussions about universities (having nothing directly to do with the current object of protests).

The use of multiple gendered pronouns for generic reference is so commonplace now that one thinks the problem it means to solve is long gone. Then it's pointed out that in the SCOTUS arguments about EMTALA, all the doctors were "he" and the nurses were "she". Problem not solved
Yet you spend resources surveying the views of these disinterested people instead of reporting news that would spur their interest

Wordle 1,035 1/6* 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Haven't posted this in a while. But as I have reached my pinnacle... Now what do I do with the hour I usually spend on this thing.
Very grateful to these wonderful scholars and powerful voices in our latest HF episode. Full ep. available here: huminfocus.psu.edu/view-episodes/ psu.edu/news/research/…
In the theocracy that is Alabama, it is now illegal to do something that effaces "the glory of God", per their embryo decision.
Me listening to a student argue that they should get a higher grade because they "really studied"
Wondering how many news outlets will report the new (lower) inflation nos. without also kvetching about how voters still blame Biden for high prices. The news drives the narrative.
Now *this* deserves a front page headline. Trump says he’d disregard NATO treaty, urge Russian attacks on U.S. allies wapo.st/49bFK5O
The effin NYT front page on Sat. There is no new news here, nothing to report after yesterday's release of report and subsequent Biden nws cnf. But this will spawn endless follow ups about how the public is so concerned about B's age. sheeeesis!
I see now that Tucker Carlson can lick the boots of actual dictators as effectively as he does for wannabe ones.
The Colorado case is toast. Let's hope that a not-totally-corrupt majority can be mustered to horse-trade it for a sane immunity decision
Inequities in campaign finance are manifest and the most important issue. But let's also consider that obscene WASTE of it all. Think of the quantity of badly needed resources that were flushed down the crapper on the failed DeSantis boondoggle.
"The 31-by-55-inch portrait could fetch between 30 million and 50 million euros ($32.5 million and $54.4 million) at auction." -trying not to let the realization that art now is pure capital temper my enjoyment of it wapo.st/3Snw0P0

Thread: 1/ The national conversation on higher education is terribly distorted, beginning with the assumption that faculties are a hotbed of radicalism and that students are invariably "woke." The vast majority of faculty and students at places like Columbia are not activists.
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how much I love Maria Bamford.
New pod drop! Loved this and hope you will too.. The second in our Empress series on @EmpirePodUK with me & @DalrympleWill . The excellent @peter_sarris tells us about Helena, Queen of the World, Mother of Empire and Finder of the One True Cross.
If you read one op ed today read this one on campaigns to punish Black academic excellence by @docmoodyturner. It’s another example of how success beckons the mob, as @ProfKori has taught us. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
If the isolated protest of a single speaker in a single classroom is worth days and weeks of coverage about what it allegedly means about campus climates, then shouldn't this kind of non-event merit equal or greater amounts of coverage and commentary? 5/5
Why are we not seeing dozens and dozens of "news analysis" pieces exploring whether Trump's appalling threat to abandon NATO countries will hurt him politically?
I'm calling BS on the sort of news analysis that passively says the report has shined a "spotlight" on Biden's age. The "spotlight" reflects editorial choices. The GOP use of something as "ammunition" for an attack shouldn't dictate those choices: newrepublic.com/article/178920…
Virginia Woolf, one of the great literary giants of the 20thC, was born on this day in 1882. In this photo from 1894, Virginia appears on the left with her sister, the artist Vanessa Bell playing a straight bat. My especial thanks to @EJWoolf for the reminder.

I started my teaching career as a Visiting Assistant Prof at UCSD 40 years ago this week. This is the only visual evidence from that. I rode my bike to campus everyday, tho this was just a fun ride with Meagan from our Mesa apartment complex. Bike was my PhD graduation present.
5) Communicating with #university job candidates about matters of diversity, in all its forms, is good! Until recently in US history, #HigherEducation was badly segregated in terms of race, sex, gender, religion, and intellectual perspectives (and remains so in some respects).
Thank you, student journalists. Hold this in front of our faces and make us see
The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.
@heymrsbond A friend is adding this to his syllabus, which I love
@jchristman58 this is just 'epistocracy' on the campaign trail. .... But of course we've already done this, right? It was called Jim Crow.
@jchristman58 Something tells me Ramaswamy - the Alex Jones of Dinesh D'Sousa wannabes - would fail, even after all that fancy Yale law school training.
How can I be sure, in a world that’s constantly changing? asked David Cassidy, and Plato. Well, you can’t. So learn how to extend your sensibilities, powers of discrimination, and imagination, rather than rote skills. Brought to you on behalf of the Humanities.
