I loaded my hotel fridge with healthy breakfast and snack items; so convenient!
FYI there is a whole ass grocery store right next to the convention center with a hot bar and everything. Very clutch! I am eating a $3 chicken salad sandwich on my way to a happy hour. #aarsbl25

I never thought I would have a chance to discuss Kristi Noem's hair extensions and lip filler in the context of political theology but that is what I am cooking up for this book panel on Sunday. I hope you can join us! #AAR25 #AARSBL #SBLAAR
If you're in Boston this weekend, consider coming along to this panel on sovereignty, aesthetics, and theatrical power - with Ludger Viefhues-Bailey, Alana Dickey, @nicholemflores.bsky.social, Miguel Vatter, and Arthur Bradley. It's going to be great!

What @sivav.bsky.social said.
At least three board members should be impeached immediately. At least one lawyer should be disbarred. And the search committee should stop the presidential search right now and wait until there is a new and legal board in January.

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.
It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

An excerpt from Jim Ryan's letter in response to Rector Sheridan's letter to UVA faculty: "Paul Manning reached out directly to the DOJ lawyers to make sure he was not missing anything, and he said that they told him that if I didn’t resign, they would “bleed UVA white.”” (Link in comments)

One thing you can say about Nuggets fans, Denver sports fans in general: We are loud as shit. Especially when we find a player we call our own. Welcome home, Brucey B. 🤠🏀
Bruce Brown:
On the ovation he got in his homecoming reception:
"It felt great. Obviously I'm back at home. Love being in a #Nuggets uniform and being in Denver."
On DEN's defense:
"It's a work in progress. It's new for everyone... so we got some cleaning up to do."

Since this episode aired, the Broncos have not lost to the Dallas Cowboys and have won three Super Bowls, including two of them back to back
I would rather kill than see the Denver Broncos win… so I can see an impasse here.

Reading _Dilexi te_ piecemeal throughout the day as I attempt to finishing prepping my grad seminar. I am captivated by the Marian framing & the clear depiction of the preferential option using Rev 3:8-9 in the opening paragraph. The reflections on the "cry of the poor" are also great. More soon!
