In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

this is so gay. how i love it

(eagles are a common sight on the Hudson - they roost on the palisades, overlooking the river on the Jersey side- but usually tend to stay north of th GW bridge)

an excellent thing that happened earlier this week in NYC that you probably hadn't heard about: bald eagles riding ice floes down the Hudson River right past midtown Manhattan

(tell him i say hi! i should write him - we were once good pals, but fell out of touch when he moved away from nyc.)

in my (unhappy) experience, students who use gpt to generate essays are very capable of making themselves sufficiently familiar with the contents of their submissions to be able to pass such a test. the giveaway is usually the mismatch between the contents of the essay and the assigned readings etc

wow congrats!
Doug isn't on here, huh? if i'm not mistaken he was never on twitter either, or even facebook

fwiw i feel much the same way, even living in a not-small city with a lot of big academic institutions nearby

Congratulations, Niklas! very happy for you

Abolition, Amnesty, Decriminalization, Open Borders You may not believe immigration restrictions are racist, but racists believe immigration restrictions are racist.

After today, it may be right to say Pam Bondi is the worst of them all.

just gave a lecture for a uni in germany (via zoom) touching on such sundry matters as hegel on the greek polis, marx’s “on the jewish question,” the donatist schism, and the ICE concentration-camp complex

sorry, USAians is not a word.
the correct term is estadosunidians

looking forward! you’ve been great on this issue, Paul

yes, this! finally someone says it out loud! I haven’t see anyone say this, and I keep wondering why. Are we supposed to believe that this one guy somehow had a monopoly on titillating and gratifying the sick fantasies of so many powerful men?

also - on same topic- check out William Lynn’s “Bringing Ethics to Wild Lives“ and the “Barred Owls Ethics Brief” that Lynn prepared for the US Fish and Wildlife Service - the latter makes for a fun & accessible intro teaching text (you can find it online)

if you want to do a unit on wildlife conservation ethics, check out the recent symposium in Ethics, Policy, & Environment on the current barred owls v spotted owls controversy- lead article by Jay Odenbaugh, w/ responses by me and others

congrats!!
