Yet again feeling vindicated in my decision almost 30 years ago to turn down a job at Reeves’s alma mater soon after he graduated. I obviously didn’t know anything about him then, but I didn’t want to live in that world or raise kids there, even if that meant leaving academia.
💥Hungary's first post-election poll: Péter Magyar's Tisza leads Viktor Orbán's Fidesz 66–25 among certain voters — a 41-point gap. On April 12 election night, the margin was just 15 points (53–38).
Orbán's party is in freefall.
I had a purple one :)
Indeed and thank goodness. My capitalization was an (insufficient) attempt to restrict the comment to the academic “History Department.”

We used to get those garlic fries back in the Candlestick Park days!
Garlic fries and hot chocolate while wrapped in blankets in the freezing cold upper deck. Tickets were roughly comparable in price to going to the movies.

Often easy to identify but next to impossible to prove. So I have to spend real time critiquing lousy work to justify the grade when the student doesn’t actually care about feedback. I have to take it as a serious submission even though it wasn’t submitted seriously. It’s soul- and energy-sucking.
Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture
I’m worried about the folks who said velociraptor
what a hateful gesture
I suspect deep inside the brain of most scholars is the memory of the moment when they first discovered the thing that sucked them into their field, of who they were in that moment. We ought to try to keep in touch with it.
Absolutely infuriating
To quote Bill Murray in “Tootsie”:
“That is one NUTTY hospital.”
And she still wouldn’t back up his anti-trans hatefulness

Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.

Thank you Hungary!
more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out
