Does anyone know what these 8 wars are that Trump thinks/claims he stopped?

Oh, definitely. And of course the article is correct: you get a great education that prepares you for most anything you want to do without a mountain of debt.

I should of course add that the point still stands: that is a bargain in today's market for a great education

I graduated from Geneseo (from the history dept) in 1999 and cost all in was about $10k, compared to today's $24k.

How some on this site thinks an impeachment works and will block you for suggesting otherwise.

The logical end point of journalism as stenography. "There are people who think a thing..." becomes "news."

The official replays in this tournament really grinds some of these games to a halt. They have to speed this stuff up.

Explaining to my daughter: "see, there used to be this thing called a moving pick..."

Middle age guy watching NCAA tournament: "that's a foul," "that's a travel," "terrible no call," "another travel"....

You can quibble with what constitutes a "generation," but my father from 1980s to 2000s with a mid level job at the phone company put 3 kids through college and retired early. It was definitely possible.

Once upon a time, today was important My go-to piece of evidence for the fallibility of the Founders

Once upon a time, today was important. On the old congressional calendar, lame ducks, and the fallibility of the Founders.

Following from this point, don't get too hyped about an advance contract. There is almost no cost to a uni press giving you a contract based on a proposal, but you get locked in and might run in to disagreements down the line with editors whose vision for your book might differ as it develops.

Andrew Ross Sorkin has been peddling Hoover rehabilitation in his book on the 1929 market crash too. Just flat out wrong.

Ugh, yes, good point. I reposted.

This one with alt text. Sorry for forgetting that.

Ok, turns out there were in fact people in the bushes. 😆

We definitely thought there were people inside the bushes and expected dancing.

Virtual Lecture: The "Judges’ Bill" — How the Judiciary Act of 1925 Reshaped the Supreme Court YouTube video by Supreme Court Historical Society

Someone at the Supreme Court Historical Society thought it was a good idea to let me discuss with distinguished professor Robert Post and society president Jim Duff the 1925 Judges Bill that gave the Sup Ct control over it's docket. It was a great conversation! Take a listen.

The point is that it is dangerous to have kids walking to school. They will have to share the street with cars driving down one lane streets. In my neighborhood kids could make it, but it is not free of risk.

Kids will have to walk to school in the streets. The roads are basically one lane almost everywhere. I want my kids in school too, but our neighborhood is an accident waiting to happen right now.

This ain't on the schools though. It is a legit mess out there, and that is on the county, right?

Only way kids can get to my elementary school is for them to walk in the street. And the streets are barely clear. We are going to have to organize a massive parent shoveling army to make a dent in it.

The conversation (not) - Lawyers, Guns & Money Well here’s a real pick me up: You know what Kids Today have trouble sitting through, in a college class on films? Akira Mizuta Lippit, a cinema and media-studies professor at the University of Southe...

Hot take: I found The Conversation to be boring and difficult to sit through even before the advent of cell phones.
