READ THIS, and then call or write to your representatives, the governor, the UMN President and Regents. And vote in November for people who will fund higher ed. If you don't live in MN, this is happening or is going to happen to your public university soon.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

Conservatives have spent YEARS talking about how immigrants need to assimilate. I kids spilling their beer, wearing burnt orange and overalls and cowboys hats at a football game. I guarantee you they got drunk as hell after. Nothing is more American than that. This is just rank racism.

We know how to teach books in the age of AI: small classes, close reading, research-engaged learning (which is how you ’let students see you struggle’). The issue is nobody will hire and pay the requisite # of faculty to offer this.

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January.

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.

China just got a heliostat plant – a concentrated solar power (CSP) station using a large field of computer-controlled mirrors, [heliostats], to reflect the sun on to a tall central tower – to power 170k homes a year and save 130k tons of CO2. The US is getting a ballroom.

Grading. So much AI slop. Thin, glossy analysis with no depth, complexity, or heart. Online classes have become a joke. Instructors know it. Students know it. The university knows it. But we all pretend this is not a game to get tuition $ in exchange for credentials disconnected from learning.

A profound assault on religious freedom and the Constitution. Also contradicts the profound religious pluralism in the current U.S. but also, since it's the 250th anniversary, contradicts the widespread religious pluralism that existed at the founding and continued through to the present.

Lotta work has been done about the “spiritual but not religious.” I find the “religious but not spiritual“ folks more interesting sociologically. I think they make up a much larger % of Americans than we realize: folks for whom religious identity, symbols, & rituals matter, but not God-connection.

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

Yet never has so much been seen, so precisely, by so many people who understand so little of what they are seeing. A system can tell you where a man is. It cannot tell you what his death will mean for a nation. Such systems are trained on behavior, not on meaning — they can track what an adversary does but not what he fears, honors, remembers or would die for.
