Miami #Redhawks go 31-0. Unbelievable.
I was worried I wouldn’t be able to wear my OU gear around town after this game.
Genuinely incredible that the U.S. will celebrate the 250th without an Archivist of the United States.
I’m so sorry. You are loved.

I don't think the "Einstein" or other AI replacing the important steps of learning, esp in higher ed, would be posing quite the challenge it is right now if students hadn't been sent the message their entire lives that the point of college is to get good grades and a high paying job, not to learn.

In my multimedia journalism class I have students create fugly infographics in class just to get the bad out of their system.
The bunch turned in this semester are truly delightful in their ghastliness.
Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.
During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment
The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, a Chicago institution who left footprints globally in his ardent advocacy for civil rights, has died. He was 84. chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2...
This is simply terrifying. I remember when I read a long piece about how the Covid vaccine was invented and I cried (I do not cry easily) because I worked in NYC and so many people had died and it was all so visceral at the time. God we are fucking fools. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/h...
the day people read wuthering heights as a horror/ghost story rather than a romance story is the day i will know peace
I will keep saying it: I’m not against AI as a category, but institutions whose product is information distribution for public good (news, universities, etc.) miss a huge market by just giving in rather than planting an AI-skeptical flag. Where is the institutional push to engage folks who doubt?
At Millett Hall for the #Redhawks v Bobcats game tonight. Packed house.
NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Surprise, surprise!
Really nice write up in the @columjournreview.bsky.social on the Oxford Free Press.
I'm a founding member of the paper's board and our journalism students regularly intern there.
Miraculous things can happen when small towns come together to support local news.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
Lovely review from @nytimes.com of Wil Haygood's new book 'The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home.' I'm lucky to be co-teaching a class on war stories with Wil this semester.
The book is being launched here at Miami on the 17th.
This is an incredible thread
Bad Bunny’s halftime show was incredible. What a celebration of life and love!
English-as-an-only-language audiences when Bad Bunny said “San Francisco” during the halftime show at the Super Bowl
I don’t even know what to say about any of this anymore.
Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening
WaPo laid off one of the journalists who won a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
WTF
Roughly two dozen states have rejected the Trump administration’s requests for voter rolls, prompting an unprecedented legal clash between the DOJ and state election officials. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
