During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Just full-time jobs in US academic institutions:
Definitely better (+84%) than the worst COVID year (2020) but still worse than other post-COVID years; e.g. one-third fewer such jobs than last year.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Well, if only there were a large supply of foreign students who would happily pay a premium price to get access to American higher education.

“It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. “Even if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.”

Absolutely been said before but if you’ve got an AI agent that is 57% accurate you have an AI agent that is 0% accurate

Not only is Ezra not getting called out for this by his journalist colleagues, he is actually in lockstep with them, viewing themselves as simultaneously above the fray and as political strategists. And that is a HUGE part of the reason why we are where we are as a country.

Probably not ideal that everyone’s reaction to the fire alarm going off in my building is to stand around the lobby asking if someone can turn it off

Do not bow down to these people. Do not allow them to convince you that you must. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

I understand why students don’t love spending a semester drawing supply and demand curves, but this is why we make people students spend a semester drawing supply and demand curves

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Scenes in good movies are capable of doing more than one thing. In fact, they often do!

That it’s inaccurate is the point! It’s similar to the episodes in the Sopranos where they got to Italy and are completely out of their depths. It’s to highlight that these people who claim to care so much about white Italian culture don’t know anything about actual Italian culture.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

1. Uses up class time that could be spent teaching
2. Restricts the sorts of questions you can ask to those that can be answered within one class period
3. Grading hand written work takes longer

All that said, I only do in-class exams, but there are real drawbacks.

Hopefully this means my full-state regressions take hours instead of full days to run… 🤞

On today’s episode of, “tasks I thought would be difficult but instead only took 15 minutes,” I have finally upgraded the RAM on my Dell XPS

Impossible to know

The only positive is at least the massive mistakes were somewhat evenly distributed between the two teams. It was looking very lopsided towards Golden State (but what else is new) until the last stretch where Memphis benefited from a few phantom foul calls.

Can’t forget the Draymond moving screens

It is 2015. The GS Warriors are allowed to foul the Grizzlies on every possession, Steph is hitting insane 3’s, and my mental health suffers.
