Sabres have been fun. If Red Wings and Sabres make the playoffs and Florida and Toronto don't, I will be so happy.

Haiti's Winter Olympics team shines a positive light even as IOC removes patriot from uniforms Haiti is making a statement at the Milan Cortina Winter Games with two athletes proudly representing the nation.

The International Olympic Committee ruled that an image of Toussaint Louverture, born into slavery and and leader of the Haitian Revolution, on Haiti’s uniforms violated Olympic rules barring political symbolism

Colleges teach the most valuable career skills when they don’t stick narrowly to preprofessional education Parents and policymakers want job security for graduates, but in the AI and automation era, careers may depend as much on curiosity and initiative as on credentials.

Judging colleges by how they teach vocational skills misses the point, argues an engineering professor.

The skills employers need most include initiative, critical thinking, navigating ambiguity, and more – and those come from blending humanities and STEM. buff.ly/FWQuzll

Adjuncts, indie scholars, publishers, journal eds: please spread the word about this and help me do recon!

I’ll email you! I scheduled it for February. Like everyone we are trying to navigate how to teach reading right now and I thought the intro would be really nice starting point for discussions about our courses

Pretty funny to take a vote in Congress that immediately makes your Google autofill β€œIs Clay Higgins in the Epstein files” and β€œIs Clay Higgins a pedophile”

People say this news is stranger than fiction, but I’m confident if Paul Verhoeven did a take on Manchurian Candidate it would have prophesied all aspects of the Epstein story.
