It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...

Why you shooting fireworks from the traffic circle in front of my house on 3 August?

I missed the oven and microwave!

Do you know how to get to the choob?

AI’s alien mind will help us escape conventions.

I’ve been rewatching the old ones, all of which we watched when new. It’s a big change of style.

Sometimes I need access to a faucet over my gas burners while doing laundry from the commode.

Watching the new Project Runway and @ferbosco.bsky.social pointed out it’s a victim of the Drag Race-ification (derogatory) of all competition shows.

The pride I feel finishing a cryptic crossword. 😊

Walnut!

Wally doesn’t really have control over his limbs yet. And Coby is much more powerful.

Everyone!

A sugar-faced vizsla and a puppy raging after a ball on a brick patio, limbs in all directions. A partial human in the background.

Something good?

I was thinking the other. I’ve been troubled by the Oakley-lite phenomenon.

But history’s arc, I fear, has no direction.

I try to tell students that the world I grew up in was a lot different—mostly in terms of tech—and worse in a lot of ways and better in a few others. Things change.

I mean, watching the gay world seemingly disappear in a pandemic wasn’t great either.

I've held my tongue so far, but I just don't think Sydney Sweeney belongs in schools.

Credulity is no virtue.

How many rust belt cities successfully halted if not reversed their declines because of their universities and academic institutions? Pittsburgh is the poster child, but Baltimore owes a lot to this too. This is going to be a completely man-made disaster for them.

Gaza Still Isn't Receiving Enough Food to Prevent Starvation, Aid Workers Say The famine situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate. Aid workers say Israel is not allowing enough food to enter the area as Palestinians starve.

Although Israel said it would pause military activity in select areas of Gaza to allow more food aid in, humanitarian organizations have said that the amount of food entering the area is far from enough, and without additional aid, an increasing number of Palestinians will die from famine.

If seriously-ill children are dying because you are stopping the flow of food and medicine, you are guilty of an evil that calls to Heaven.

So much of that here, too.

I think evil is closer.

FOUND IT!!!

I’m from its supposed hometown. I’d revolt!

A banger

Are they mirrored?

It’s like when economists discovered that people don’t always make rational decisions!
