The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None.
Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law?
Zachary: Correct.
Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

Sometimes I have to remember to bring my professional self to the doctor's appointment and to never let my guard down. It's sad.

Oh right and then they say yes but can't really handle it. Or one doctor put in the letter that it was a complicated interview because we were speaking English and French (in the end I like the doctor a lot, but that was not what I wanted in to see in the letter...!)

Je suis en train d'étudier pour l'examen civile, et apparemment, mes collègues philosophes au CNRS ont un gros problème : « Les personnes qui travaillent dans les services publics ... ne peuvent pas exprimer ou montrer leurs convictions (religieuses, politiques ou philosophiques). » oups

Well, that's it. Season's over. Well done Bills for getting as far as they did.

Time to turn to #F1 but it's a long ways to March. Skipping the livery launches and tea-leaf reading until then.

They are super unable to handle spicy food. I went out for Korean a bit ago and the kimchi was so not spicy, which like, kimchi? Really?

Can't imagine getting wings in Lyon back then! In Paris, it's the 2nd time in 20 years that I've ever ordered wings. The first time was in a bar, and I never made that mistake again. This time it was a wings delivery place, which now seems to exist. Better wings in another 20 years, maybe? 🀣

They are (were): tiny! BBQ sauce was surprisingly fine. Hot sauce a bit strange. I guess they were ok. Scratched the itch anyway.

Ranch dressing and honey mustard are listed before blue cheese on their menu <shudder>

For this Bills playoff game, we've taken the incredibly serious step of ordering chicken wings in Paris, a city not known for its chicken wings, hoping that it magically helps. Go Bills! #BillsMafia
