I left Trump’s America last year to teach in Canada. I didn’t expect this from Canadians
During my short time here, I have encountered a shocking level of naïveté about what is happening in the United States.

Pay attention that not all your favourite writers/creators are as principled as Dave.
When I criticize the Liberal government in any way at all, no matter how reasonable, my free and paid subscribers on Substack go down. This dynamic creates a perverse incentive, which I refuse to give in to.
But this is a major problem.

It sucks that professors will have to AI-proof their courses in order to preserve the value of education, but man, someone has to. At this point, it would be nice to see governments actually try to make protecting education easier
Yes, in my classes I've shifted a lot to in-class writing (critical analyses, tests). The one 'take home' assignment I kept is the traditional research paper, but with added elements (including documenting step-by-step how research sources were found) to try to mitigate AI use.
My presumption has been this will all mean a shift to doing everything live (no take home). Is that happening? Impossible?

My expectation is Israel will push the boundaries on the ceasefire to see how many Palestinians they can kill in any given day without US censure, knowing that every death will push Hamas to strike back which Trump and Netanyahu would see as the official breach and thus commit to total annihilation.

If Chicago beats Milwaukee tonight, every city sending a ballclub to the MLB championships is either Canadian or a Democratic-run hellscape rife with antifa violence and interspecies copulation. It gives an Oriole fan hope knowing how poorly our president speaks of Baltimore.
Wait 'til next year.

Douthat is laundering hard core white Christian supremacy into the mainstream, with the NYT's blessing.
Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."

Anytime someone uses the word "they" to admonish or accuse, each of us ought to ask who precisely "they" are. There's a lot of important detail, or not, in the answer to that question.
