And then last night a friend I haven’t spoken to in a while messaged me and sent me two tickets, gratis.
It is such an incredibly generous gesture and I’m honestly a bit emotional about it all.
We haven’t told my 10yo yet; we plan to surprise him after school. I can’t wait. 2/2
I’ve been looking for tickets to the RSL-Inter Miami game for most of the last months to take my 10yo, whose own passion initiated my own interest in soccer a couple of years ago. With tickets currently going for between $410-$5600/seat, I’d give up hope. 1/2
Salt Lake City has almost twice as many registered Dems as Republicans. But for decades, the districts have been drawn to each take a slice of the city and suburbs.
Utah democrats have suffered for years without any representation in Congress despite controlling the state’s population center.
Letter: If you’re concerned about the future of dual language immersion in Utah, I urge you to contact your USBE member, the state superintendent of public instruction and your legislator.
7th graders in our local school district each job shadow someone on an appointed day.
I was honored to have a friend’s son, an aspiring historian, ask to shadow me.
On Wednesday, he attended classes with me in the morning, then we researched all afternoon in BYU’s Special Collections.
Before orange slices as soccer halftimes treats, there were lemons.
“One of the new rules of the [Utah] soccer union is that the Home team … must furnish lemons for the visiting team.”

How is any of this real life?

Beyond the very valid critique here, I do not understand the appeal of “spend[ing] a human year in 10 minutes.”
I like reading. I enjoy films and listening to entire albums. I find pleasure in conversing with friends and chatting about nothing and everything.
What’s imagined here sounds miserable.
It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for
I love my teenager.
Inject this into my veins.
An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death
BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans:

Hey! He was a semi-literate *18th* century ship captain!
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some Zen to the feed.
Mr. Lu loves his students and they love him. He shows up for them, pushes them, encourages them, and takes a genuine interest in their learning, growth, and success. /fin
Word got out and current and former students pitched in. We ended up with enough money to gift him both a pair of Jordan 1s in his favorite colors and an envelope full of cash.
Today they surprised him after school with it. Dozens of students showed up. He had no idea. 3/
They asked him if he had any Jordans and he told them he’d always wanted some but that it was impractical on a public school teacher’s salary.
My kids came home that day and told us they wanted to raise money to buy him some for his birthday. 2/
The kids are all right: a short story.
My kids are in a Chinese DLI program. Last month, their teacher complimented a student’s Jordan 1s. He explained that when he migrated from China, he chose “Michael” as his English name because he loved Michael Jordan. 1/
And now I notice the typo. The *Predatory* Sea.
As the world continues to crumble, historians keep churning out first rate scholarship.
Today I finished @csschmitt.bsky.social’s The Predatoy Sea, which will make you rethink entirely slavery and captivity in the 17th century Caribbean. A masterclass of scholarship.
And we're just going to keep this going.
Imagine how far we can push this with an actual Democratic Party

So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it:
International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.
A big part of Donald Trump's appeal among his ~30%, ride-or-die core is that he's the first president to be sincerely, authentically stupid and incurious in the exact same way as the fabled Median Voter. *Nothing* about his unintelligence is a gimmick or a put-on.
the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...
Pulisic hasn’t scored for the USMNT since the CONCACAF Nations League match against Jamaica in November 2024, when he celebrated by doing the “Trump dance.”
Just saying.
