The House and Senate needs to submit STAND ALONE BILLS. None of this bullshit that sneaks in other bills that they KNOW would never pass if it was a STAND ALONE BILL.

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

Less than one year after stepping down, former Colorado Justice Melissa Hart has died. Decisions aside, she and I talked off the record over the years. She was very willing to put things in context, point me in the right direction, and discuss the law: www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/10/01/f...

The 988 suicide prevention hotline's Press 3 option — which provides specialized services to LGBTQ callers — has been restored more than a year after the Trump administration shut it down. Confirmed by HHS and the office of Senator Tammy Baldwin, who led on legislation that forced its restoration

I am more convinced than ever that educational institutions should follow the lead of Berkeley Law and start from a default position of no AI use for student work. If an individual teacher or faculty member thinks differently and wants to allow it, that's fine!

I came across this beautiful (and timely) Maxine Greene quote in Kathy Schultz and Rachel Throop's new book, PRACTICE: KEY WORDS IN TEACHER EDUCATION. "What is meant by teaching as possibility in dark and constraining times?..." Teaching is, in the end, a profession of hope. #EduSky
What is meant by teaching as possibility in dark and constraining times? It is a matter of awakening and empowering today's young people to name, to reflect, to imagine, and to act with more and more concrete responsibility in an increasingly multifarious world. At once, it is a matter of enabling them to remain in touch with dread and desire, with the smell of lilacs and the taste of a peach. The light may be uncertain and flickering; but teachers in their lives and works have the remarkable capacity to make it shine in all sorts of corners and, perhaps, to move newcomers to join with others and transform."

And if Talarico wants to bolster confidence, he needs to come out ten toes down about civil rights. For EVERYBODY. And he needs to state that that includes trans people. It's not going to hurt him. Everybody likes civil rights. We had a whole movement and everything.

Duck Song: Got Any Grapes?
Alt: Gif of the video, “The Duck Song” with text: “Hey, bomp bomp bomp, got any grapes?” Image of the animation is a yellow duck approaching a lemonade stand that reads “Ice Fresh Lemonade” and a guy behind the stand looking exasperated with the duck. Everything is drawn on green grass with a tree and cityscape in the background on the left, and a sunshine in the background on the right. This was very adequately rendered in something like MS Paint (complimentary ).

Disabled people must “prove” they’re disabled enough to receive meagre benefits. Poor people must “prove” they’re poor enough for SNAP and social supports. US Senators don’t even have to prove they’re mentally competent to vote. Yet they decide who gets basic needs met.

This is the type of AI disaster scenario that I ACTUALLY worry about. (1) AI industry oversells the capabilities of its products to score fat government contracts. (2) govt puts the AI in charge of critical shit. (3) AI fucks up, because it has a nonzero error rate. (4) shit, now we’re at war.

Since I'm sharing this, you can guess what the solution to the Case of the Shockingly Spicy Mustard is

My jar of mustard was so spicy it made my eyes water and sent me on an obsessive quest to find out why
The mustard was the same brand I buy every time, Maille Dijon Originale, but it was much, much stronger than usual.

Fun* fact about me: if something is really popular with a huge group of people, I shy away from it. It’s not intentional. I don’t do it to be countercultural or a curmudgeon. Sometimes I miss out on something great. 😕 (*not really fun)
