We should really be asking why our electoral system elevates the worst people.

How do you walk into a classroom full of 18yos and talk about American Govt in this mess? "Hey, we are currently destroying the world and your future, but let's pretend robots have consciousness for the next 50 minutes."

Pedagogy of the oppressed, indeed.

Do Dem leaders realize how much damage can happen between now and November? Focusing on maximizing midterm strategy cannot be the only approach.

My instincts tell me this crosses a line that could potentially shorten that timeline.

I suspect this will increase the young person turnout in the next No Kings protest.

The draft is a response to enlistment problems in a long conflict. What is going on?!?!

I forgive you for all of that, Najeeb. Go Vols!!

7 dead US troops, over a thousand Iranians, and who knows how many in surrounding countries. For this.

Luckily, I got my yard mowed yesterday and got the first wave of leaves up.

David Hall, The Puritans. I’ve had my head so deep in the primary sources for years that I clearly am not keeping up with the secondary lit.

Yeah, it’s nice.

So, I’ll be spending a lot of the next week reading that. To be fair, I’m trained as a political theorist, not in history or theology. But I think this topic is important for us theorists.

To be fully honest with myself (and everyone), my prowess as an expert on the topic of puritan political theology was clearly revealed when I discovered a couple weeks ago that perhaps the world’s leading expert on puritans published a comprehensive history recently that I didn’t even know about.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

Epstein Files come to Savannah and Hilton Head.

I just giggle every morning when I drive thru campus at all of the dented and busted bumpers and side-swiped doors because students who can’t drive in reverse think there is a divine law that you have to back-in park.

What was the rationale for back-in parking in CT?

Did they also say it was ok to drive with both feet?

I guess we should start paying attention to the price of water. It’s not a global market, but people are going to start getting desperate in a few days.

I don’t know how to respond to reports that AI was used to pick targets and one was a girls school. I’m not going for β€œPeople need to be choosing who to kill.” That’s not it.

Watched a movie tonight and was surprised to learn that it was filmed in Savannah and Pooler. The main character had a t shirt from my school on near the end.

It’s wild having a president who isn’t loyal to America.
