I mean, yes, classes start next week. But a week in Minneapolis the week beforehand is a pretty nice way to wrap up the summer!

Framing this around β€œviewpoint diversity” and the supposed expediency of tracking professors’ political donations is absolutely brilliant. www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

An aerial view of Metarvik, Alaska, a small village of several dozen buildings in the middle of a vast snowy expanse.

This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town.

Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019.
