Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

The Sheep and Wool Festival is happening in a few weeks and I’m going for the first time. I’m giddy with excitement and like pretty sure that this is the year that I will finally have to figure out a yarn storage system. #knitsky

Arguably the civil war was as much about northern states not wanting to be legally required to enforce the slavery laws of southern states as it was about the south wanting to continue enslaving people. Just mentioning that for no particular reason.

The first secession proposals were from anti-enslavement activists who wanted relief from Fugitive Slave Act enforcement requirements. See: Caleb McDaniel, "The Problem of Democracy in the Age of Slavery: Garrisonian Abolitionists and Transatlantic Reform" lsupress.org/978080716230...

This weekend in LIS professor-ing, I'm trying to make a plan to get my class back on track on Monday. We have only met twice including the start of school (8/28), due to the holidays observed throughout the month in NYC. I was not prepared and over-planned. Who knew it was possible to over plan?

I have had a fly in my apartment for the last week almost. I've told it already that it's days are numbered. Each time it lands, it's where I can't/don't want to smash it: the cutting board, the ceramic stove top, unpeeled fruits, plants, mirrors, the tv screen, etc. This fly is playing games.

When Benjamin Netanyahu berates New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his UN address for calling him a war criminal, it will only increase Mamdani's popularity. The overwhelming majority of the democratic free world wants to see Netanyahu face trial in The Hague.

Most city health departments offer access to vaccines to uninsured or underinsured adults. They tend to offer sliding scales to pay for them, too. I'm not sure if or how much this has changed [in red states], but it's worth checking into if needed since we're heading into flu season soon.

More than any higher ed development in recent memory, institutional subsidies for AI at R1 universities prove that austerity is a choice. It is not “too expensive” to invest in a humanities research infrastructure; rather, it is a choice that R1 universities make not to & subsidize AI instead.

I also recently found out that Word Perfect still exists and from what I'm reading still has a model that allows you to purchase and own the softwar withouut a monthly subscription. So, that might also be the move.

I think this is supposed to be fake, but lots of ppl believe that "foreigners" clog admissions. the real reason, for high admission levels, particularly at elite institutions (the Ivys, NYU, U of C, etc.), is b/c they pay higher tuition & often, in full. Foreign students are a cash cow.

Zohran Mamdani released 170K documents revealing that post-9/11 asbestos levels remained dangerous for months, despite officials saying the air was safe. As we saw at the start of COVID, officials still treat essential workers as expendable. This is a long-overdue step in the right direction.
