Very moving memorial panel for Prof. Janet Theiss, a sore loss to #qinghistory #genderhistory here at #aas2026 w a wonderful roster including Profs. Tobie Meyer-Fong, Paola Zamperini, Stephanie Painter, Wen-hsin Yeh, and Maram Epstein. What an exemplar of the generosity w which we should live.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

hey, you guys? is it a good thing or a bad thing if during a hearing your own co-counsel texts your other co-counsel and says “oh shit that was just not true” in reference to something you just told the chief judge of the D.C. district court???
Excerpts of Text Messages Between Mr. Reuveni and a Colleague on March 15, 2025
During and After the Hearing before Judge Boasberg in JGG v. Trump
Time: March 15, 2025 5:17-5:25 p.m. ET
These messages corroborate, first at 5:17, the statement on p.7 of Mr. Reuveni's June 24, 2025 disclosure that, "Bove stated that DOJ would need to consider telling the courts 'fuck you' and ignore any such court order," and second at 5:24-5:25, the statement on p. 9 that, "Mr. Reuveni reasonably believes Ensign's statement to the court that he did not know whether AEA removals would take place "in the next 24 or 28 hours' was false."
Oh shit

The reason for the season:
A picture of a package of Marshmallow Peeps, but Photoshopped to say "Pepys." The peeps visible through the packaging are wearing curly old-style wigs. The package explains that it contains "10 diarists."

Here's the deal:  I only know two things about Samuel Pepys:
1. His name is pronounced like "peeps"
2. He was a famous diarist.

That's the only motivation I needed to make this stupid thing as an Easter joke, and I will post it every year on Easter until long after the joke has worn off.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

It’s very “only Nixon could go to China,” in the sense that Democrats who call for general strikes and say “abolish ICE” are scolded by a broad swath of other Democrats and journalists, but when Brooks or Kristol say it, they’re treated seriously.

The typical pattern (nearly universal) is consultants come in, enhance/confirm admins' fixation on program and personnel cuts as the Only Solution, lay waste to the uni, collect a giant check, and leave. And a few years out, those places are still limping along, as precarious as they were before.
