Terrific scholar, always enjoyed reading his work.

Weirdly, my students seem to have no problem finding contemporary literature on their own.

He’s always had his favorites and he plays them until they get injured. He’s made Eze play at 1/2 speed and the way he’s (not) used Norgaard is malpractice

Why oh why can’t a journalist just ask, β€œSo the same end would be accomplished if Russia stopped fighting?”

They can’t have towns like this because they’re anti-social assholes. I lived in the DFW suburbs for 15 years and saw this up close. Watching Fox 6 hours a day doesn’t leave much time for bake sales.

Charles Dickens couldn’t have come up with this level of cruelty

He’s scored two goals recently from at least some distance and I didn’t see us do anything to try to make that happen again

The history of minorities not being allowed to buy beer because they lacked the right papers is one of our nation’s ugliest chapters. Or, Why One of These Things is Not Like the Other One.

I was a long-time subscriber who cancelled after 2016 when they ran a lengthy piece on Steve Bannon. I don’t even care if the articles are critical; life is too short to read about these kind of people, period.

So she accepts Humbert Humbert’sβ€”who is named that because Nabokov said he tried to think of the ugliest name possibleβ€”view of the story? Yikes.

Worked in Texas higher ed for fifteen years, left in 2024 and would never go back. Loved my job and the students were great but what’s happening there now is unconscionable.

If we’re going to be this sloppy anyway just put on Madueke, who will make mistakes but also make things happen

Interesting that he doesn’t mention alcohol, which is a common factor in a lot of bad behavior on planes.

Texas also nickle and dimes you on everything and screws you on property tax to make up for lack of state income tax.
