Sort of like the one-armed paper-hanger?

Wasting time arguing about this is somewhat akin to the sad folks who spent their time rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

It's the Guns. America is the only rich democracy that features the routine mass slaughter of its citizens with guns. Why does this happen? The data show a really clear picture: It's the guns. Yes, it's that simple.

Early reports of a school shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis (I was baptized at the church there). As always: it's the guns. The US is the only country in the world that politically tolerates and legally ensures the routine mass slaughter of its own citizens.

Terrain.org - Online Environmental Magazine of Literature and Place Terrain.org is an online environmental magazine of poetry, nonfiction, fiction, editorials, interviews, reviews, Unsprawl case studies, and art since 1998.

Oh, thank you! I will look it up. Iโ€™ve read each of your books, except the first one! Loved Brave the Wild River. I read your contributions on Terrain.org as well. Todd Davis, the poet and a friend, shared that site many years ago. Thanks for your work!

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸšจThe White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck thatโ€ผ๏ธ

I think it comes down to the spiritual poverty of the Evangelical ideologies flowing in the undercurrent of the GOP.

Incredible moments tonight from the courageous, powerful press conference from @gavinnewsom.bsky.social.....

Everything thatโ€™s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The fear is palpable, Joe. Right there with you. Heโ€™s trashing my TIAA on the other side by killing the stock market.

Same in PA! I believe thereโ€™s a strong linear relationship between age and treachery level.

We need to do this moreโ€ฆand encourage our students to do this as well. Organizing our thinking with multiple conceptual models is really key to understanding landscapes in new ways. Weโ€™re just too focused on parsing our work into 3-year grant chunks and producing LPUโ€™s (least publishable units).

Ahhhโ€ฆI always was concerned about students getting diverted down a rabbit hole with software issuesโ€ฆJupyter sounds like a good solution.

I taught a likely similar 300-level geomorphology course in PSU GEOG. I wanted to use LandLab, but was daunted by the overhead of using a Python-based app to teach students not necessarily comfortable with something other than MS Windows and Word. Kudos for charging in!!

This is sad. Apparently, โ€œLutheransโ€ donโ€™t meet the litmus test of the new Christian Nationalistsโ€ฆwhich denominations will be next?

I like this idea. Put this statement right before the sentence that says โ€œfor reading this far in the syllabus, you score 100 on the first course quizโ€!! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
