It's unclear -- A Senator was actually impeached in the 1790s but the Senate dropped the charges for "lack of jurisdiction," confusingly, either because he had already been expelled from the Senate, and/or because Senators were not "officers" of the US in the sense of impeachable officials.

The complaints are obviously directed at those who still back him, including, I assume, Ruben Gallego who just came out and endorsed him. Not hard to understand the call to action here.

Don't know how good Aristotle's command of English prose is...

Jefferson gave his States of the Union as written letters to Congress because giving a speech to the legislature like that seemed to monarchical for his taste.

It has been almost 11 years since Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency; you must know by now that he is not "normal" and never will be.

A student giving their institutional log in credentials away like this is almost certainly a violation of policy at pretty much any institution of higher education. I also wonder how this works with two-factor authentication. Can "Einstein" enter the code on a student's Duo app?

Because of the enormous number of members of the NH lower house, who are only paid $100 per year + travel costs, it tends to attract a lot of... oddballs. That said, this isn't too far off from the guidelines set down for sociologists in Florida State Colleges recently: bsky.app/profile/grun...

In the early 2000s, I had a youngish conservative professor (he was born in the 1960s) in undergrad who said that the Beatles were "whores." He went onto say that the song "Eleanor Rigby" was "a slap in the face to 2000 years of Christianity and Western Civilization."

Extremely on the nose. @disabilitystor1.bsky.social

A meme I made a few years ago

Ghost of First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill shedding a single tear.

Clankers aren't people and it is good and right to make fun of them.

Reminds me of this "gem" from a while back: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

But did you use "delve" and "rich tapestry?"

This is Bounce slander.

We would also accept "good tsar, bad boyars."

Armchair psychology here: He wants the Nobel Peace Prize for the same reason he wanted the presidency -- to spite/get one over on Obama for having it.

Fundamentally unserious framing. Come on.

I still find the new grouping UX to be vastly inferior to what existed previously. Is there a way to revert this?

Tweet from @stephsmithio posted July 29, 2024, reading: "Sometimes in the process of writing a good enough prompt for ChatGPT, I end up solving my own problem, without even needing to submit it."

Not exactly the same, but reminds me of this banger

With apologies to George R. R. Martin, I like to think of Trump as an Iron Islander wanting to pay the "iron price" for Greenland by conquering it, even though relying on access through Denmark is far cheaper and easier and gives the same actual strategic benefits.

@perusall.com In the new grouping system in Perusall, is there a way to have Perusall automatically assign students to random groups for each of the library items? The new group management seems very counterintuitive. I do not want to make "group sets" and apply "group sets" to dozens of items.

I think it's a combination of "map get bigger" as Trump's primary motive, with the secondary motive being that he views getting access to bases on another friendly nation's territory, rather than taking them by intimidation (or even force), as unmanly and weak.

Not to be "that guy," but as a historian of Belgium, I think you mean Leopold *II* (r. 1865-1909), the King of the Belgians who was also head of the "Congo Free State" from 1885 to 1908.

In addition to that button, when I talk about the 1940 election in my American History II classes, I show the students this one and see how long it takes for them to figure out the fault in its argument. 🤨
