Solid-gold special issue right here, folks--check it out. #HistMed

An English Setter sleeps in an impossible position. His body is on a grey tweed couch. His head is on a black leather ottoman. His forelegs are between the two, draping down to touch a red, gold, and beige Kilim rug.

He's no longer with us, but Henry was a truly epic sleeper.

When I was like 6 I met Ron Jaworski when he was doing autographs at a central Jersey Kmart. Go Birds.

Excellent point. Big contrast with Minnesota! (the other good public option here, as Wisconsin and Minnesota have in-state reciprocity)

Also it's gotten VERY difficult to get into UW for students from Madison.

There's a surprising trend right now of upper-middle-class kids from Madison going to SEC schools. I think BamaRushTok or whatever it's called has something to do with it as well.

Sikele 2022 Sikele, by Cantina Marilina, is a natural Orange Wine from Sicily, Italy. Made from Grecanico grapes with Minimal SO2. Buy online at MYSA Natural Wine.

They're delicious, clean wines. At least the amber is, which is the one I've had. You might also try this one: mysa.wine/products/can... (Can you tell it's been a summer of orange wine in our house?!)

Didn't see the earlier post and I get it for sure, but you might try this producer if you can find it: arnaudcombier.com/en/our-wines...

White House fires much of the National Council on the Humanities The White House appeared to fire all but four members of the National Council on the Humanities, an advisory board to the head of the government’s grantmaking agency.

I was lucky enough to be in graduate school with Jelani Cobb AND Khalil Muhammad. Great time to be a Scarlet Knight.

Team erase-before-you-leave forever. It's just poor manners otherwise.

C'mon now. You're just operating on a different plane of brilliant.

In the history of science, no less!

Guys, I have something to tell you about dimes...

Exhibit A: Watchtower

Yes. And why is it that the guys riding these (and in my experience it's always guys) feel the need to share their music with the whole bike path (where they shouldn't be allowed) through a high-volume bluetooth speaker?

This is great. The wild thing is, the student will likely be more upset getting a B than if they failed (bc then they'd just drop the course).

Quote from Isaac Chotiner's interview with Cass Sunstein, on the topic of Sunstein's friendship with Henry Kissinger, despite Sunstein's belief in human rights: IC: Well, the next time someone brings up a terrible anecdote about Cambodia or Vietnam, I will definitely drop the Star Wars story to show that people have two sides. CS: Yeah. And I get those who think you shouldn’t be friends with someone who did terrible things. I hear that. I can just say that he was, as a very large number of people would say, though many fewer would say it publicly, an extraordinarily generous friend.

Wow.

An English setter sleeps on a couch, not on top of, but next to, the blanket that's there to protect the couch.

Brothers in arms

He's glad you weren't raptured

My hallway at the office is eerily empty this morning

Let's gooo! And add to this our department's anniversary celebration Oct. 9-10: mhb.wisc.edu/anniversary/

Even better. I love Marseille.

Sort of reminds me of this guy at the Montreal Fine Arts Museum

Congratulations! Will reach out to meet for a coffee next time I'm in Aix.

Tehran was great. Every episode is literal edge-of-the-seat suspense.

JFK-Jo'burg. 17 hours. Seatback video non-functioning, reading light didn't work. Close second: missed connection back home on the same trip. Had to buy a new ticket on Qatar, flew Jo'burg-Doha-Chicago. 26 hours total, 24 in the air, popped a migraine about four hours into the first flight.
