Whenever I see these articles that are like "I'm a professor" and then it's some institutional drivel about giving Right Wing personalities or ideas or capitalist tools room or space or support I like to play a little game of "okay, is this a president, provost, dean, or chair" before the bio.

Just having a quiet laugh to myself that the guy who wrote the "I'm a professor and writing doesn't matter" bullshit op-ed at the Times then had to immediately respond to his own article with more writing addressing the things he didn't get to include in the article. It's the little joys, really.
Joe Cruz, Opinion Guest Essayist: One thread I didn’t have room to pursue in the essay is that writing is itself a technology for cognitive offloading. It lets us put memory and attention and concentration into the world rather than carrying everything in our heads. That is enormously useful, but it might also mean that we exercise some capacities less.

The humanities and social sciences are so lopsided in privileging writing — and I suspect ease of assessment is a major driver — that we have obscured the costs to these other capacities for thought and have become lazy about imagining alternative ways of cultivating them. AI dramatically highlights the same question. 

What kinds of thinking should we be willing to offload, and what kinds do we want students to keep practicing for themselves?

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

They are acting like the Cornell 7 happened in a vacuum when we just went through the Hockey Canada 5 and the players have all been rehired, and play for both American and Canadian teams. There are no consequences for these kinds of men and the faux outrage is exhausting.

Hey @politico.com can you explain why @thirdway.bsky.social is the source for what the Democrats' SCOTUS platform will be, when they don't even have the word "Democrat" in their name and routinely diss the party? I'll wait.

We know Russia is an invader criminal state, there is no debating that it is committing atrocity one after another, we also know Israel is doing the same. The main difference for us in the west is, that unlike with Russia, it is that Israel is committing its crimes with our collective consent.

if you want a thriving arts scene, the single most important criteria is that broke ass artists MUST be able to afford to live there and rent studio space. if you don’t have that, your arts scene is dying, man

Another cruise ship has docked in Alaska with a dead endangered fin whale on its bow. 💔 Ships can kill these swimming giants in an instant as they hurtle through their habitat, and these collisions are one of the most frequent causes of premature death for several highly endangered marine mammals.
