It's not quite the same thing but you may want to look at the work of Tobias Brinkmann, who looks at Eastern European migration to the US and studies how the US tried to cut down such migration from European ports.

I use my desktop instead of my laptop. Using mobile doesn't even enter on my radar.

I agree, but it's unfortunate, because the original song it is based off of ("Le Moribond" by Jacques Brel) is a fantastic and witty take on dying, as opposed to the maudlin Terry Jacks take.

"Bitter Sweet Symphony" by the Verve; the very nadir of 2500 years of Western Civilization.

I see. How odd.

Searching the course registration tool shows these classes (pick "Fall 2026" and "Washington Center" as the subject) but the instructor is listed as "STAFF" for all of them except two being taught by Miller. I wonder if the classes descriptions were written before the instructors were hired?

Meme showing Mr. Incredible in color, smiling, captioned "Europeans condemning American racism" on the left, with Mr. Incredible in black and white with a negative look on his face captioned "Europeans when you mention Romani people" on the right.

I am a historian of Europe and a Europhile but the amount of antiziganism I have heard from supposedly enlightened folks on the Eastern side of the Atlantic is scary.

On the other hand, the command "post no bills" follows the same structure.

It's unclear -- A Senator was actually impeached in the 1790s but the Senate dropped the charges for "lack of jurisdiction," confusingly, either because he had already been expelled from the Senate, and/or because Senators were not "officers" of the US in the sense of impeachable officials.

The complaints are obviously directed at those who still back him, including, I assume, Ruben Gallego who just came out and endorsed him. Not hard to understand the call to action here.

Don't know how good Aristotle's command of English prose is...

Screenshot of Captain Murphy from Sealab 2021, captioned "You got any stuff that doesn't suck?"

Jefferson gave his States of the Union as written letters to Congress because giving a speech to the legislature like that seemed to monarchical for his taste.

It has been almost 11 years since Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency; you must know by now that he is not "normal" and never will be.

A student giving their institutional log in credentials away like this is almost certainly a violation of policy at pretty much any institution of higher education. I also wonder how this works with two-factor authentication. Can "Einstein" enter the code on a student's Duo app?

Because of the enormous number of members of the NH lower house, who are only paid $100 per year + travel costs, it tends to attract a lot of... oddballs. That said, this isn't too far off from the guidelines set down for sociologists in Florida State Colleges recently: bsky.app/profile/grun...

In the early 2000s, I had a youngish conservative professor (he was born in the 1960s) in undergrad who said that the Beatles were "whores." He went onto say that the song "Eleanor Rigby" was "a slap in the face to 2000 years of Christianity and Western Civilization."

Extremely on the nose. @disabilitystor1.bsky.social

Meme showing a Black man (labeled "Boomers") and a white man (labeled "Zoomers") grasping hands in solidarity. Their intertwined hands are labeled "Not understanding how file folders, names, or extensions work."

A meme I made a few years ago

Ghost of First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill shedding a single tear.

Clankers aren't people and it is good and right to make fun of them.

Reminds me of this "gem" from a while back: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

But did you use "delve" and "rich tapestry?"

Screenshot of Jerry Seinfeld from the show Seinfeld writing in a notebook after waking in bed. It is captioned "Flaming Globes of Sigmund."

This is Bounce slander.
