It was rather maddening to hear all the things about upholding the Constitution and everyone is equal under the law etc at jury selection today when very obviously the people at the top are not held accountable for anything

Ossoff is definitely not listening to Yglesias/Klein/PodSave reactionary centrist crowd, he does not think his marginal voter is a white-supremacist, and that is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the vast majority of US who are not white-supremacists.

I've taught college for 25 years and have taught over 3,500 students, and I've long been of the opinion that we should bulldoze all the frats at every school and build art, music, and dance studios, maker spaces, and coffee shops on top of the land.

A couple of years ago, Cornell did actually ban some students from campus, and banned them for year years... for protesting Israel's actions in Gaza. One of the students suspended was president of Cornell's branch of Jewish Voice for Peace. ithacavoice.org/2024/10/corn...

My school has some confusing web sites, as does every university. But I don't think I've seen anything as obtuse as the interface we currently use to set up accommodation exams with our Office of Disability Services -- it's like someone read a book on best UX practices & decided do the opposite.

Collection agent woke me up and was so nasty when I said that the bill was unlikely to be paid at over 20% of my yearly income. She suggested I’d lived beyond my means by getting an emergency endoscopy. 😆 Must be nice to live in a country where getting sick doesn’t lead to daily harassment.
