Maybe my experience is a function of being in academia where people have been at the same institution for 30 years.

He seems to be confusing normative and descriptive theories. He might not think that is what politicians should do, but they definitely do that.

Of course, confusing normative and descriptive theories is his entire thing.

I'm curious about generational divides with email. I still mostly use the gmail email that I created when I was 16. I've noticed that people 10+ years older than me tend to only use their work email addresses. I assume because that is what introduced them to email. I wonder what gen alpha will do.

I'm not saying this didn't happen but it is weird. She appears to have made her endorsement to one news website, The Main Wire, which spends most of its investigative reporting on how Chinese triads are taking over Maine www.themainewire.com/triad-weed/

One of the worst parts of electoral politics is that it requires people to simplify their positions into making a binary choice (voting for one person or another). Having people answer hypotheticals about that is really stupid.

BREAKING: ICE director Todd LYONS says the two officers involved in the Jan. 14 chase/ shooting incident appear to have lied under oath and are being investigated by DOJ. This comes after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended them as firing in self-defense. politico.com/news/
2026/02/1...
Attributable to Todd Lyons:
Today, a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice (DO) of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements.
Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation.
Lying under oath is a serious federal offense. The U.S. Attorney's Office is actively investigating these false statements.
Upon conclusion of the investigation, the officers may face termination of employment, as well as potential criminal prosecution.
The men and women of ICE are entrusted with upholding the rule of law and are held to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct. Violations of this sacred sworn oath will not be tolerated.
ICE remains fully committed to transparency, accountability, and the fair enforcement of our nation's immigration laws.

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side.

Will DHS retract the prior claims?

I don't mean this as an insult, but are some law review pieces just op-eds? I just stumbled on one that is an argument against "compulsory unionism" as unions are profit seeking organizations that oppress workers with compulsory unionism.

As I was listening to a podcast recently I had a random thought: One way that those left coast liberals could help MSP in the future is by scheduling a bunch of concerts/shows/whatever in MSP.

Yea, it isn't radical change or anything, but it could help drive the economy.
