Teaching Gertrude Stein today and really didn't feel like going too far down into the meanings of 'Tender Buttons' because I don't want to end up on YouTube talking about Alice B. Tolkas' clitoris.

I was hitting off the turf at the driving range and a dude straight up said, 'you might could use some lessons.'
I'd been struggling with golf for years and just picked up my bag, said, 'have the bucket, bro, I'm done.'
Haven't played since.

Yinz guys are special writers and always make me laugh.......
This is beyond relatable
I rolled a bowling bowl across a parking lot and into the woods. I drove home in my bowling shoes. I haven't picked a ball up since. Almost 24 years.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

had a dream last night where I was using my remote to turn off the a/v equipment, but would come right back on, louder and more grating each time.
I got increasingly agitated and was shutting down all executive functions when I ripped the power cords out of the wall.
wonder what that all means?

We pivoted to fully online teaching within a few weeks of shutdown.
What had been lecture notes became much more enhanced and detailed slide decks and discussion board posts.
It was enormously challenging, and the students didn’t all have high speed internet at home or even internet at all.

The suits against universities for changing teaching during the pandemic is such a passive slap in the face to those who taught it. We did our bloody best! I worked hours and hours beyond my contract. I redid an entire curriculum to be online
It wasn’t pleasant to me either!!!

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.
Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.
