I created a starter pack for those interested in and working in international higher education. I am sure I am missing some folks! Would love to strengthen the #intled BlueSky community. #internationaleducation #internationalstudents #intlstudents #studyabroad #educationabroad go.bsky.app/JPmsFJi

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

The curse of Baltimore. Gunnar won’t go on the IL and Lamar won’t play hurt. 🤷‍♂️

I need the Rays to get it together. I want a seven game series, since no one knows when baseball will be played again when a champion is crowned.

Not even close.

Didn’t go.

Who’s gonna tell him…?

In this vein I find it helpful to remember Elizabeth Anderson's argument that the point of education is not to reward merit, but to create it.

I was ready to support him until I read this. Get ready for more of the same.

Jared Banner: “When I first heard Mike’s vision, I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of. Banner will lead the Orioles' player development, coaching and performance efforts. He'll partner with Mike Elias on strategy and acquisitions. On the hire: www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Metaphor Watch: My wife and I almost ran into a bald eagle sitting directly in the road on the way to work this morning. The bald eagle picked up a rat and flew away—in the middle of Baltimore.

"Trans Lives are Real. Harry Potter is Not" Sticker spotted in NYC

Incredible defense of the Constitution and American values.

This is exactly the right approach — openly mock the bigots as small-minded and cowardly and weak and proudly embrace diversity as a sign of our strength and success

Powerful video on what life would be like without migrant workers. Imagine an American trade association putting things this bluntly. (And then imagine the prompt and massive regulatory retaliation the regime would hit it with.)

Yes. But not all dominance displays are the same. El-Sayed's first stabs at them were taunts and calls for bench press contests and those didn't work; they seemed juvenile, like Pete Hegseth. What Ossoff has is both dominance and gravitas, and that is effective. He says, I'm the grown-up here.

Through this livestreamed execution, the Trump regime will declare that it has departed from the civilized world and has plunged headlong into its own Dark Ages.

come 2028 vance will be cutting ads specifically denouncing his in-laws for coming to the united states

They fired the Bird. 🤦‍♂️

Trump admin's new rule adding prohibitively expensive new fees for "OPT"—temporary work authorization program for international students and new grads in the United States—is out. Would require colleges to pay $70,000 for year one. $30,000 for years two and three combined for STEM fields.

New MLB ground rule. No more &@$/-ing domes!

I'd pray at that church

this is why baseball should only be played outdoors

"Chinese students who study in the U.S. are already more politically liberal, market-oriented, and cosmopolitan, and less nationalistic than their peers upon departure. Ideological preferences remain remarkably stable throughout college, regardless of location." www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

OMG!!!

WTF?!?

I’m sorry. Can someone explain? How do you stitch synthetic fibers into natural grass?!? And how does that make it safer?!?

Albernaz gets to pretend he gave Kjerstad a start.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance!

“Requiring them to report in person for a virtual hearing far from both their home and the court feels ‘Kafkaesque.’” Check out this article: Their immigration court was in Baltimore. So why’d they show up to a DC McDonald’s? www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Embarrassing.

Playing like a team who has given up on their manager.

Albernaz needs to learn to praise in public and criticize in private. That’s what’s embarrassing.

Not sure what was worse, Bautista’s comeback or these godawful ads on peacock.

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

Stolen touchdown

Albernaz really has to stop throwing Basallo under the bus.

Colton would have cut that off.
