Seems the stock market is okay with death and destruction, but, you know, within reason. Sigh.

As a California girl, I’m always amazed by the stark quiet of a major snow storm in NYC followed by the intense noise as the City attempts to clean itself up.

Okay this is worse than I thought. A large # of academic press books (incld. a textbook I use in class) have been moved to a platform called Ebook Central. It's like Kindle paired w/ AI. No footnotes. No page #s No facsimile PDFs are available. I just wrote a lengthy complaint to my library. Sigh.

Since we’re banning words these days, I’d like to ban the phrase “less lethal.”

Was just in a meeting about accreditation when someone had to take a phone call from a federal agency about a grant termination. The Ivies are getting all the attention but this is going on everywhere and it is killing higher education! Let’s try to keep the entire higher ed landscape in mind.

And I mean that in two ways. 1. Seemingly futile acts of opposition can grow into movements that change history. 2. A record of opposition is what enables historians to write about a past where nothing was inevitable, different outcomes were imagined, the future was contested.

This is what local news orgs should be doing now: "In 2024, the Univ. of Alabama was in the top 1% of NIH-funded institutions. The university, Alabama’s largest public employer, has received more than $1 billion in NIH funding. NIH grants in Alabama supported 4,769 jobs" www.al.com/news/2025/02...

NIH grants support medical institutions and research across the state.

On birthright citizenship, no president can end it "on day one" or any other day. It's in the Constitution - the 14th amendment. Indeed it was one of the key goals of that "new birth of freedom" - formerly enslaved people had parents who were not citizens. Media, please take note!

It’s Article TWO for a reason. Come on Article ONE: DO YOUR JOB! (I’d be happy for Article THREE to step up too, but that’s obviously more complicated. Some good early signs there though.)

There is simply no plausible argument that the president has the constitutional authority to refuse to spend appropriated funds because he doesn’t like how the money is being spent. The legality of policy impoundments is just not a close question.

Well that didn’t take long! We seem to have boatloads of negativity over here, and that’s among “friends,” broadly speaking.

Huh. Seems to be a rush to cut taxes by Democrats (here in NY too). Couldn’t come up with any new ideas?

Such a good point. I’d add that laws are not self-legitimating either.

Had to go to the ER recently (kidney stone), and it reminded me how much of medicine really is narrative. In triage, the doctors and nurses were begging me to tell a story that would help them understand, a story with a history. Funnily enough, I was pretty sure I had the DX down—no story required.

This is your semi-regular reminder that the cheapest way to get an academic book into your eager hands/brain is almost always by buying from the publisher with a discount code, not by buying from a (cough) internet retailer. If you’re not at #AHA25 you can still use discount code HAHA25 thru 1/20.

Great example to set for students. Some disciplines may use AI to good effect. The examples below suggest the opposite. I was disappointed not to see more critical engagement with the use of AI at #AHA25.

A guy murders a healthcare CEO in NYC. Some people are happy. Amateur sleuths try to help track him down. They receive death threats. American healthcare is highly problematic. So are these reactions.

Intrigued by the People’s Bookshelf at the National Library of Latvia. Each book in the collection has been donated by a member of the public and is inscribed by its former owner, telling a personal story relating to the book.
