"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
Massive spoiler / twist that we just didn't like...
Up until the last couple of minutes of season 4.
100%. I just want administration to focus on actually running the college for a few minutes. Manage our budget. Pay everyone accurately on time. Give us classrooms with working lights and working clocks. Then we can talk about the hottest eduspeak reform movement sponsored by Gates/Lumen/whatever.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
Writing is thinking.
It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.
And that's only if you need it. I have a 40-mile round-trip commute and can easily stay charged with level 1 charging. I just plugged in the charger a few years ago, and setup a post to hold the charger.
That was one of of my best spring breaks ever. I remember it was roughly 25 degrees in Flagstaff one morning and over 90 the next afternoon at the bottom of the canyon. It's just an amazing place.
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
I've only had to scrape ice a few times this year in Tacoma. It's been unsettling. It reminds me of 2015, when hiking trails that normally open in late July were open in May. That was a terrible year for wildfires.
Look, I agree that college isn't for everybody, but this isn't it.
Service workers may not need a degree, but the enriching benefits of education, the joy of it, should be an option for all.
The point here: education is not just about jobs. As a dear friend puts it, education is for the soul.
In other words, the liberal arts has provided an all-you-can-eat, buffet style approach to education while the “skills-based,” careerist approach that now seeks to replace it is more like being force-fed spoonfuls of tepid gruel.
Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
If you haven't seen one of these videos yet, here's ChatGPT Atlas taking a quiz, masquerading as a student.
I feel a need to make sure educators are aware of this shift in how students may be using AI...

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
The amount of money that is currently going to fund immigration enforcement in the US is larger than the military budgets of every country in the world other than the US and China. We are witnessing a military assault on American cities by a wildly unpopular governing party.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

RIP Rob Hirst. I listened to a lot of Midnight Oil in the 80s, and it sparked my social consciousness. Finding the Dead in 90 exploded it. Painful to watch them fade into the past.
America is truly in uncharted waters right now. The president of the United States seems to be genuinely insane. If Congress doesn't get its act together & curb the Mad King's ambitions, the global economy & the global geopolitical order is going to experience utter turmoil; possibly even war.
Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:
"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
I didn't know any still existed! I lived a few blocks from 15th and Market from 95-97, and it's barely recognizable. Good to hear there's a bit left.
Dead Set is what pulled me in - Deal, specifically. Dozin' at the Knick might be good.
Makes me proud to be a member of the AFL-CIO.
First Ratdog (or any dead related) show I saw after Jerry died

You can see the pay rates for the Washington State community college system here. I think all of our CCs operate on the quarter system, with tenured faculty typically teaching 15 credits per quarter / 45 per year.

Gonna keep screaming this but the Founding Fathers would 100000% call this tyranny and call out the militia #TwoIfBySea
I saw my first shows in 91. I was 17, and they changed my life. It definitely feels like the end of an era, and it hurts.
Farewell, Bob Weir. I was hoping to see one more show, but he gave so much.
