had the opportunity to witness a couple of jr faculty book workshops that have been hosted at APSA HQ - while they are obviously very serious, they always look fun and very helpful to the author. You’re gonna do great.

yeah, but what about the woke thought police trying to count her out and take Bari Weiss down???!???

one of football’s the greatest accomplishments has been transforming the meaning of a headbutt from an act consisting of a violent assault into the act of two men gently rubbing their foreheads together in anger and bravado until the other person falls over.

My first academic publication on soccer and politics is out! It lays out the basics of my theoretical framework of “soccer as civil society” and argues that this is threatened by “modern football” through the tandem of “illiberalism” and “neoliberalism”.

never give this block back to car traffic. dont allow car traffic to mix into the light rail lanes on Wayne Ave either. Wayne has had single-lane traffic for years now, and it is fine.

my most middle aged divorced dad trait is I’ve started going with one less button buttoned at the top of the dress shirt and I don’t know if I can maintain this approach.

This is a disrespectful amount of money for the job responsibilities listed. We are talking about asking someone to manage and execute five distinct campus-wide programs for significantly less than what APSA pays its program assistants. www.higheredjobs.com/search/detai...

yes, but he said it in a civil way, with a calm voice, and confident demeanor. and that’s what matters most.

where do you think the 4th battalion, 14th Marine artillery unit will set up camp for its invasion of Portland? How do we think they’ll be able to cross the Columbia River with all the antifa super soldiers embedded on the South bank?

Just to take stock: the first claim was that there was an entire literature supporting the anti-birthright position. Then, *after* that claim, scholars emerged to post drafts on SSRN. And *now* the government points to a "growing body of modern scholarship" all drafted after the initial claim.

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

the Radical Left needs to tone down its rhetoric encouraging political violence.

"America is not a 'universal nation.' ... [American] principles are not abstractions. They are living, breathing things — rooted in a people and embodied in a way of life." Senator Eric Schmitt got a standing ovation at Nat Con DC for saying America as a nation is the property of a distinct ethnic people. Americans are a mix of “the most adventurous, the most courageous, the most curious and innovative” of the English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans, who came as settlers and have spent hundreds of years building, fighting, and dying for "a homeland for themselves and their descendants." "We’re a nation of settlers, explorers, and pioneers — born on the ocean waters that carried the first ships to our shores and forged in the crucible of a wild frontier. Our people tamed a continent, built a civilization from the wilderness, and wrote our nation’s name in history. "Our ancestors were driven here by destiny, possessed by urgent and fiery conviction, by burning belief, devoted to their cause and their God." "The Continental Army soldiers dying of frostbite at Valley Forge, Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth, pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, [and] outnumbered Kentucky settlers, repelling wave after wave of Indian war band attacks from behind their stockade walls, would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a 'proposition.' "They believed they were forging a nation — a homeland for themselves and their descendants." "America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations. "It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny. "If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing and no one at all."

man. if Eric Schmitt's speech to NatCon isn't a sign of the times, i don't know what is

the time has come. Manchester United must turn to the relegation escape master and make Big Sam Allerdyce their manager.

I keep seeing the Trump-Intel deal called socialism, but there’s a term for this. This parallels what Mussolini did—the Italian state was one of the world’s largest industrial owners while keeping private companies. Nazi Germany did this too. So did Francoist Spain. It’s called state corporatism.
