Colleague made the very astute observation that this freshman class is the first class completely Common Core-educated, from kindergarten to high school graduation. As soon as the words were uttered, everything started making sense.

When I say the endnotes feature in Word is kicking my ass. Why can’t I add a new page after the endnotes to put my bibliography?! I feel old.

They used to crack jokes with Strom Thurmond—famed segregationist—over fried chicken in the cafeteria.
To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

Now who’s to say that reopening the government will mean cash to earmarked programs will even begin to flow again?

The negotiated rulemaking session on defining professional programs essentially just added clinical psychology to the bare minimum required by law, even though the law gives more leeway to include other programs. This will end up in court.

Even the college players are getting caught fixing games or betting on their own sports. Can we now admit that this phone-based sports betting thing is bad?

One of my sneaky links gave me a full package of genmaicha from their trip to Japan, so I guess I’m breaking out the fancy tea set.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT:

“Being a conservative woman in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be.”

Got my third-year review back. I did swimmingly in all areas, with the weakest area being scholarship (I write and present but never submit my papers). I really have to keep my interfolio updated because I didn’t know it was going to be based on my hastily-submitted regular annual faculty update 😅

A real Amelia Bedelia situation. They said no more ‘woke’ government, and well…
He spent Biden’s entire presidency calling him ‘Sleepy Joe’. Still does. But this guy nods off in the middle of the day in meetings almost every day. Fell asleep in court all the time too.

Just so y'all know; this group is an AIPAC-backed group that wraps Black excellence and capitalism and perverts the language of organizing for white supremacy.
