LOL. What the heck did they do with all of those credits? I hope it was worth it.

Your typo makes me think we need an owl library, where we can all borrow owls and take them home for a week or two. 😀

Can we talk about how Harvard does not equal Higher Ed writ large? Most students in the USA attend public universities and colleges.

Records come and records go. But this is one for the ages. The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.23°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This crushes the previous daily record set in 1982 by over 1.14°C. The Climate 8-ball is looking up.

It could happen overnight if there was a will to do so. All of those death sentences could easily be commuted to life sentences. I think this horrible botched execution is more evidence that something needs to change.

Or, how about just eliminating the death penalty?

This is so, so awful. I don't know how anyone can think this isn't cruel and unusual punishment.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I have the feeling that things are going to get really ugly at universities. There is only so much women can put up with. In fact, I think the USA needs a nationwide women's strike like they had in Iceland.

NIH funding is now based on politics not science 💔🧪Just heard that an excellent lab with whom I have collaborated for years is closing 😡. Highly skilled specialized technical staff laid off & accumulated rare expertise lost probably never to be rebuilt. Hope & future cures lost. I'm so angry & sad.

Your city could embrace a patio/street seating culture if it really wanted to. You don’t have to be like Paris to do better, you just have to WANT to do better. Between now and next summer, your city could put in place everything it needs to transform streets as people-places. So do you want to?

As all of the comments to this post say, this is not at all mind-boggling, especially not to Canadians.

I wish I could lend you my cat Percy. He's long and very cooperative.

This makes me think of a talk I went to by the brilliant Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social where she spoke about how Republicans are in love with the myth of "cowboy individualism".

I don't think it's ever okay for a professor to date a student at their university in any department. That power imbalance can stretch quite far in academia.

Good point. Maybe I'll wear mine on Friday to class.
