Reminder that people who demand "Law and Order" need to understand that law is written down, but "order" is subjective and if you give the tools of state violence to bullies, the enforcement of order ends up in oppressive conduct like this.
Again, if you want explain why trust in universities has declined in the last decade, & you don't benchmark that decline against contemporaneous declines in trust in <every other societal institution> in 🇺🇸, then you cannot identify variables internal to universities as the main or sole explanations.

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"
Only about 15 minutes north of the Mason-Dixon Line, unless traffic’s come to a standstill on 83S

Yesterday in my Pandemics class, I had the class present evidence for and against the lab-leak of COVID. One student kept on talking about “penguins” in the Wuhan wet market instead of “pangolins”

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.
Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
Unfortunately formatted hand written sign at the March 28th No Kings protest in New Haven saying "War crimes don't hide sex crimes", but it also can be read as War don't sex. Crimes hide crimes"

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.
10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this.
Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.
I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life
Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

Eric, Dad, and I got stuck in the mud on the Bohemia River south on the upper Chesapeake because we ignored the tide tables and a low Spring tide. The Coast Guard came to pull the boat out after responding to a bunch of other calls for the same reason
