"...tells the story of the German American Bund, a pro-Nazi group which in the 1930s had scores of chapters across the country...many believe was a real threat of fascist subversion in the US" Timely documentary about a phenomenon that resonated (and resonates) all too well with the DNA of the US.

Now that autumn is here, it’s time to think about coats.

1833 French fashion plate of two men looking bang on for autumn/winter. The one on the left wears grey trousers, a dark blue waistcoat and a long grey-green coat that’s open and pushed back, along with a top hat and a very nice cane. On the right, his friend looks smug - as well he might - in a massive dark blue greatcoat with caped shoulders, that covers him to the ankles and looks to be trimmed with velvet or maybe sealskin. He also wears a top hat and a bit of his black waistcoat and white shirt is visible

It’s been nine years since LV experienced the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, inflicting unimaginable pain on our community. We will always remember the victims and stand with the survivors, family members, and first responders who continue to heal from the scars of that night. #VegasStrong

Boulder Faculty Assembly passed a resolution calling for no extension of the OpenAI contract. Vote was 39-8-1 after suspending the bylaws. Everyone at CU Student Government public comment has been fired up about their corresponding resolution, talking about trust and societal impact. So energizing.

Yesterday Trump announced S Korea was investing $54B in AK LNG. The problem? He made it up. The cheerleading from AK politicians had just died down when S Korean officials refuted the claims. Apparently they want Glenfarne to prove AK LNG is viable first? 🤷 Wild. alaskabeacon.com/2026/09/30/t...

Emergent from my undergraduate experience & in practical & philosophical agreement with my interests & graduate work, I would like to suggest a project to revise & strengthen the Interdisciplinary Studies Program at UNC."

"I have a problem. I grew up with this idea that the university, the institution of higher learning, was this tremendous bank of knowledge, wisdom & experience. I held this impression that when one entered these campuses, arms were held wide in greetings of acceptance and warmth. I believed these institutions had a deep interest in the ideas and resources one brought to bear. Coupled with this, I held that if the University didn't know "it", they would send one out to the world to find "it" and and then be filled with eager anticipation for the return. As being the first in my family to attend, it is somewhat reasonable to understand that I might have this view of higher education. Perhaps it is needless to say, but anyone with even the most remote exposure to the university today knows this vision I had is quite different from the reality. The problem I have, then, is either 1) that I'm too naive, idealistic, unreasonable, stubborn, pig-headed and radical to give up that vision of higher learning and world-view or, 2) that the system(s) and institution(s) of higher education are short-sighted, corrupt, misguided, top-heavy, artificial, disrespectful, wasteful, too big and just plain broken.
All things considered, this might not be that big of a problem. Bearing in mind, however, that I care about people, learning and education, as well as my place and role in all of this, I have found that it is arguably the preoccupation of my life. Further, as my life has lead on, I have also noticed that this discrepancy in higher education is quite similar to that I have found to exist in many other institutions in our society. I have witnessed this in our political structure, our public education system, how we treat those over age-65, and our economic structure as well as in the media, our personal habits and our understanding of our environment. The problem I have, indeed, does not go away.
In 1992, I tried to address this problem by attending university. In 1993, that,... "

Romania had a "First House" program - the government would assume the risk for couples who wanted to borrow money from the bank for their first house, if the house was reasonably priced, there was a cap for how much you could borrow with government assistance. Singapore is taking it a step further.
