I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Your semi-regular reminder that reading should be fun and that there's actually no pressure or rules that say what you should read, how quickly you should read it, or that you should slog your way through a book you don't enjoy! - Michael

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

the U.S. government is targeting legal noncitizen scholars, not on the basis of any wrongdoing, but as part of a larger assault against an educated public.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

TO THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO DIE
Sit down. Inhale. Exhale.
The gun will wait. The lake will wait.
The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait:
will wait a week: will wait through April.
You do not have to die this certain day.
Death will abide, will pamper your postponement.
I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can
attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment.
You need not die today.
Stay here - through pout or pain or peskyness.
Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow.
Graves grow no green that you can use.
Remember, green's your color. You are Spring.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not β€œYou were right.” It’s β€œYou made me think.”

Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.

The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.
