NYT up to its usual fascism-laundering

This is on par with the dumbest things my students have written over the years. At least they were willing to learn!

Many thanks for UMich for parenting this book

Bret Stephens wants reparations for woke.....

It's you, Ross! You are the bad guy. Helping usher all this in and then pretending you are above it all.

Dr. Iván Chaar López: “If you want a productive university…that supports the state, its citizens, its neighbors, I’m not sure that you want the workers in this institution to be nervous, to be looking over their shoulders… Academic freedom is not under duress—it’s being dismantled.”

I usually post about poetry or running or who knows what. But here are some demos I finally gathered together. Seemed worth sharing if for no reason other than the fact that they exist. Thanks for listening! phantomst.bandcamp.com/album/demons...

It's hilarious to me that the announcers talk about Congo as being these massive underdogs yet every time someone for DRC touches the ball they're like "he's had a great season with such and such Premier league team".....like maybe they are evenly matched?

When satire and reality look at one another over a razor's edge.....

"Many of you have asked why an institution with a $46 billion endowment is freezing salaries, rescinding job offers, refusing to adjust tenure tracks, and laying off staff instead of using an endowment the size of Iceland's GDP to keep our community afloat."

I'm in Paris and, super fun and all, but no goals scored from the field is a pretty lame way to win the Champions League

"The LMS isn’t necessary. It never has been." - Audrey Watters. Speaking from my experience, it became clear over my 20 years of use that the LMS was an active detriment to my pedagogical goals and my students' learning. Disempowering for all. 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/ed-tech-depe...

The way hubris drives the boomer gerontocracy can't be underestimated. It's just so infantile and exhausting.

Sorry nytimes, any list of greatest living songwriters that doesn't include Randy Newman or Mark Eitzel is just unserious poptimist garbage

A student stopped me today to say he'd been listening to a band he thought I'd like. He asked, "Have you heard of The Silver Jews?" .....

I love so many things about this

I could watch the clip of the Boozers goofing like a bad high school team in the backcourt and then Duke losing on endless repeat!

The second one here is a Valentine's poem. Seemed worth sharing. www.newletters.org/two-poems-by...

Does anyone else make cream cheese vampires every time they open a box of cream cheese? My kids are always unimpressed

UBU DEBUT - 50 years ago tonight.

My 17yo asked Santa to bring this....

Anderson ( and Pynchon) would like a word with reality about stealing their ideas....

Just realized it's The Everly Brothers singing backup on "Graceland."

In choosing between Taylor Swift and Sabrina or Olivia Rodrigo I still choose Pere Ubu.

guys will be like "these people are ruining america" and it'll be a picture of the coolest guys ever

Here's a poem I wrote about the things we do.

"I know you think that evil always fades / like grass." In this quietly intense poem, "37 (Song, with People on the Street)," Nathaniel Perry (@longrules.bsky.social‬) interrogates the self-righteous act of relinquishing responsibility. buff.ly/0ryxkls

It is remarkable and astonishing that the entire apparatus of the Republican party -- the entire organization and every single person who is part of it -- has been converted into a cover-up operation to protect a single pedophile rapist. Is that why these Republicans went into politics? Really?
