Yeah, I think a lot of my skepticism of “the classics” in my younger years came downstream of notable quotables culture and it is insane how much these education people participate in it only to disregard even the cultural exposure aspect of education

happy birthday!!!!!!!

If you like the last 20 years of alt and hard rock, you are going to enjoy the way our music director arranges traditional 19th century church music with an ear for 20th century minimalism! You’ll like our badass, very spiritually inclined woman pastor

We’ve got a little group of indie rock guys/metalheads who are coming to our church now and honestly it makes a lot of sense

He hated his teachers and they seem to have disliked him in return! His most enriching educational experience in life was doing Hillsdale online courses! Not an exemplar!

His definition of a reimagined school sounds like the kind of schooling people who organized against the reforms he advocated for tried to tell him we should do, except this time it’s his call so it’s right? Maybe he should just issue an apology and let people do their thing?

the best you get is historians clicking through to the google books page to see exactly how hidden the figures are! not a long-term strategy for success

Yeah, it's honestly the book equivalent of clickbait and ain't nobody spending $30 on that in 2026

i already called my shot on ossoff a few months ago but i’ll go for a stretch pick: spanberger as veep. woke 2 comes out of the south, led by a jewish guy and a cia operative. it would drive the online right maximally insane and is in keeping with this show’s lazy writers room

It's almost like the classroom is a necessary space!!!!

yeah, when i was reading that essay in class in 2010, this is how we discussed it. And thought about it mainly as prelude to Butler and their invocation of it in Gender Trouble, which complicated the argument well by adding in the propensity for people to perform/reject ideologies

I don't have their data, but I can't believe that framing is effective with their target audience! Book agents like it because it implies novelty, so they package manuscript submissions that way, but I think it really turns consumers off. A sign that there's just less editing happening in house now

This Day in Labor History: March 1, 1932. The Norris-LaGuardia Act passed the Senate by a 75-5 vote and was signed by President Herbert Hoover a few days later. This outlawing the most loathsome tactics used by employers against workers!!!

I kinda love that the youth are coming up with things I find so inherently repulsive that I have no desire to participate or even find anything worth supporting. I feel old in a great way!

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

so good!!! my interview with her is coming out this week. who thought she was going to be the person to coax an all-timer of a performance from ed sheeran???

Man, Apple AirTags are such a convenient little invention for checking baggage. So much less stress when you know for sure it made it there with you

i think it would be in the interest of all americans to adopt this view if they have not already bsky.app/profile/hels...

Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

Every other bar I have been to tonight is either doing piano covers of Radiohead or blasting Wham! so I think I like Miami Beach

objectively hilarious that an Ivy League school is paying me $$$ to come give a lecture about my research and for weeks i thought i wouldn't even be allowed to do a run-thru of the lecture **at my own school** because DEI

It’s giving “the bar where everyone from the small press congregates” so perfect

The only way I can describe it is “rizzless gray”

[what are those meme voice] wtf are those????

Yale is wearing weird vintage uniforms tonight and they look like ass. A very flat gray! We deserve to lose. Get the designers from the art school on the case!!!!

Lmao wait how did you know?????

I don’t have many skills, but you better believe I know how to go to any city in America and find the dive bar where 1) people are smoking inside and 2) they are playing Ivy League basketball on the TV

the left is getting, uh, Calvinism in the national divorce

Whenever people would be like yooooooo you're using scripture that is LITERALLY about farming, they'd pull out the air bud clause and say "ok sure but it doesn't say we can't stay segregated if we really, really want it"
