The coolest thing about LeBron coming to Philly is that Gov Shapiro once classified the death of 27-yr old Philadelphia teacher, Ellen Greenberg, as a suicide despite 20 stab wounds in this pattern:

I am hearing that on his deathbed Lindsey Graham received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah.

We took Title IX away from little girls today and nearly took birthright citizenship too, and our leaders are calling it a victory. I wish the US Senate could show up with even 1/100 the energy of the average public school mom in Minnesota.

Dems will say “but look at the optics of it!” when this how they’ll be painted by the GOP regardless

If Dems made this their party line a lot more people would be excited about voting for them.

The fantasies that the commentariat weaves about higher ed bear little resemblance to anything that the average professor, staff member, grad student, or undergraduate experiences in the real world.

They were protesting against the domination of their public spaces by automobiles, and sought to replace it with bicycle infrastructure.

Not sure. It was in a calendar made by an east coast bike advocacy group in the early 1980s and no date was listed. I think it’s late 60s.

I’ve been teaching college courses since Fall 1999 — at a community college, an art school, and two research universities in three different states — and I’ve never once heard this expressed by anyone, anywhere, at any level in higher ed. This is bullshit of the highest order.

Exactly this. And I also spent 10 yrs in Michigan growing up, as well as visiting later on, and any trip up north during the summer still meant putting on a sweatshirt at night if you were hanging outside .

I don’t understand how one would ever come up with the idea of not sounding out a word if the goal is to teach someone how to pronounce the word (as well as the meaning itself). To my knowledge, that’s still how everyone teaches foreign languages in the US - why would it not apply to English?

Everyone is talking about Trump’s mock up arch at the Great American State Fair, so I filmed it from top to bottom and front to back for everyone who can’t see it in person.

Oh Christ I had to recently. I know what you mean now. I’m still in denial that anyone, anywhere could allow it to happen. It’s like learning about some reading technique that someone developed in the 1800s and was quickly (and rightly) abandoned.
