“Twilight Override,” the latest solo project by Jeff Tweedy, who leads the long-running band Wilco, is a triple album that earns every minute. “I just thought that it flies in the face of a culture that’s gotten faster, more surface level,” he said. nyti.ms/4ngMQgu

The Hamlyn Children’s History of Britain from the Stone Age to the present day by Neil Grant

This book is why I am a historian (possibly). Printed in 1989, it is full of absolute bollocks. I love it

Exclusive | The Onion Brought Back Its Print Edition. The Gamble Is Paying Off. Publications turn to the old-style products to appeal to nostalgic readers and stand out in a crowded digital-media landscape.

Some incredibly good news:

One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.

In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.

In short, it’s working.

So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

Texas A&M, university systems in other red states will create their own agency to review schools’ quality standards The creation of the new accrediting agency comes as Republicans have criticized existing ones for reinforcing a liberal bias in the country's higher ed institutions.

How a woman in the registrar's office made a music teacher feel less alone In 2009, Kim Perlak was teaching music at three different colleges while also working a number of other jobs. She felt totally alone. A woman in the registrar's office changed that.
