For his crimes against humanity and our nation I think Trump should have to spend the rest of his days in THIS Red Roof Inn.

I’ve consumed a lot of Scottish National Team media this international break and so much of it is absolutely delusional. Slovenia is just about their level. Probably should beat them at home but really bang average.

I feel like this is the kind of "cultural" product that could work its way into a Trump bit. Maybe he can workshop it in conjunction with the birds being killed by windmills? "The whales are eating people, we're seeing it, nobody can believe it. I said, the whales? They're eating people?"

It feels to me like the three things that can most catastrophically alter your brain chemistry for the worse are having a billion dollars, being too online and dissociative anesthetics. Good luck to them riding all three of those tigers and not ending up a sweaty, creepy mess.

I'm under no illusions about how things are or what the trajectory is. But I'm also excited for the future because that is where I will hang out with the people I care about and do the things I like doing, or haven't done before. Weird but telling that this holds less appeal for much richer people.

The Advantages of Teaching While Invisible
It's a bitter irony that the conservative media pipeline, predicated on never learning anything new on purpose, so often runs through colleges and universities.

My greatest weakness as a teacher is that in a class of 30 students I cannot help but fixate in the two or three who either look xanned out or as if I'm speaking Urdu.

Crushing a man to death in one of those rolling bookcases with the spinning handles you find in the basement of big libraries was peak Reacher. In darker moments, towards the end of finishing my dissertation, it seemed likely I might die this way.

I always find myself to be at a loss as to how they get so many insanely rich people who don't need the money (okay maybe John Leguizamo could use it) to do this stuff.

Here's a non-paywalled version of the reporting on Canada becoming a possible "associate member" of the EU. It suggests Canada is willing to agree free movement of people, which (if true) would mean that the EU would be willing to agree more internal market access. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
