I was reading about the Cornell stuff and it struck me, it's been eight years since we all heard Christine Blasey Ford say, "Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter," and I want to scream.

Mathieu has a thousand yard stare, man. That is not a happy camper. Compare that with Bling, who looks delighted.

McNulty, why are you still in your clips, buddy. C'mon.

Sincerely, how did Mads get to this final group?! I need to know.

STOP LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AND RIDE! #Montreal2026 (I mean, great job, Morg.)

This is the most frustrating race. In comparison with the women's race, where I was just biting my fingernails, I'm just cursing at my screen here, yelling at the dudes to just DO SOMETHING. #Montreal2026

Carol @butdiscourse.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The fact that Mads is anywhere near the front is INSANE. #Montreal2026

I'd be cool with McNulty. He's an odd dude. Strikes me as slightly out of his time, you know? Like, take his face and put it in World War I and it makes sense.

Oh, Mags. Bless her. That's a nasty crash.

Gosh, Montreal is a lovely city for a bike race. I mean, it's a lovely city, full stop, but really love these shots of the race down these tree-lined neighborhood streets and alongside sidewalks with folks just having a nice Saturday. #Montreal2026

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind

I need Boomers to embrace wearing headphones at all times in the same way that I need my Gen Alpha students to *stop* wearing them. Because I am desperately annoyed by having to listen to your moronic Facebook reel on blast from your phone at full volume as you scroll, Aunt Bettie.

This Ole Miss game is HILARIOUS. I am delighted for Ole Miss and that is literally nothing I would have ever said before in my LIFE.

Carol @butdiscourse.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Normally I have no love for Ole Miss. But I do love a messy breakup, & GIRL, this is the messiest. We're all drunk in the bathroom with Ole Miss tonight, saying, "No, hon, you look GREAT, he's an ASSHOLE, love that dress, lemme jus' fix your hair a little, go back out there an' make him REGRET IT."

I love that the Vuelta is a mystery even to the folks obsessively watching it. Where are the riders? WHO KNOWS!

Get you a teaching bestie who knows that you're probably warching cycling and so NOT watching Ted Cruz eat it on GameDay. And she knows that would bring you joy.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Help, my mother is scanning all the family photo albums and is now spamming the family groupchat with truly horrifying baby pictures of me.

It is DEEPLY unfair that the Tour de France Femmes coincides with the first week back in the classroom with students, which means I haven't been able to watch the last three stages live. #TdFF2026

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

...can we get a concussion check on the Australian rider with that last crash? I don't like the way her head looked like it jolted against the pavement in that replay. #TdFF2026

School starts on Monday. I'm ready-ish. Aside from making the usual copies, crawling under desks to wrangle cords, and revamping pacing guides, I also finally covered the outlet on the utility cabinet which hasn't worked in the 16 years I've been in the classroom. I think I'm hilarious.

A picture of a wooden ultility cabinet with a paper sign taped over a non-functioning outlet. On the sign is a picture of an electrical outlet, and below it, the caption, "Ce n'est pas une prise électrique," in a cursive font. This is a reference to the Magritte painting, "The Treachery of Images."

The author does realize she will likely have to explain this a million times to her students.

To be honest, watching the buses is about as interesting as watching all the champagne toast nonsense, so I'm not bothered. #TdF2026
