The robber barons, in spite of all their awful terribleness and moral improprieties, still managed to gift society institutions of cultural utility. Carnegie built hundreds of public libraries!
…and this man is using his obscene wealth to create a poorly functioning party gag?
An utter disgrace.

Sometimes I wonder if at least one class a semester should just consist of reading an article out loud *in class* and trying to understand what students think authors are saying, or what things mean page-by-page.
Might be really boring but wonder if it might help students understand *how* to read.

I really envy colleagues' ability to write in different modes and styles, with different purposes in mind.
Sometimes I feel like I only know how to write history one way, which I am finding particularly frustrating as it is NOT suited to the task at hand...

I often think about what is coming for 'evangelical Christianity' that has sold itself to mammon, and am reminded of many verses from the Bible, but often come back to Jesus's woes in Matthew 23.

“I’m seeing almost a revival of Christianity through what’s happening at Broadview in Chicago,” he says. religionnews.com/2025/11/19/f...
