Nobody hates the Yankees more than Orioles fans, just like nobody hated Duke more than Maryland fans in the ACC days. The shoulder chip that comes from being your main rival's secondary rival just makes the anger special

I just finished my course on wildlife drawing walking my students through this drawing of a blue-flag iris. It was a lot of fun. My next course is coming up in November. We will be drawing, crows, ravens, and jays. 🌿

If you feel hopeless, have faith that things will turn around. Remember how bad these people are at literally everything. The only reason they're succeeding now is because your side is still following the rules. They're very slow to adapt. Once we realize the game has changed, then we win again.

Gaining a reasonable bunch of followers on here really did help me connect with federal employees over the past nine months to break some news and tell some stories about what’s been happening inside NIH, EPA, NOAA, and other agencies.

I'll be updating next week's current-state-of-state-higher-ed-policy slides.

Left is an article about the VA senate dems telling UVA their state funding will be in question if they agree to that odious compact. On the right is the key part of the senate letter.

www.cbs19news.com/news/state-s...
Screenshot from the top of the article. Title is "State Senate Democrats tell UVA to not consider education compact." Published today. 

Main text reads "RICHMOND, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- The University of Virginia could lose state funding if it signs onto an education compact it received from the federal government last week." Screenshot from the letter from VA dems which reads "Therefore, we call upon you to immediately cease all consideration of signing this compact.
Furthermore, we want to be explicitly clear: if the University of Virginia signs this compact, there will be significant consequences in future Virginia budget cycles. As the leadership of the Senate with responsibility for appropriations affecting higher education, we will work with our colleagues to ensure that the Commonwealth does not subsidize an institution that has ceded its independence to federal
political control."

Two new friends from Final Fantasy colony. These are actually a little older than Cloud’s litter, their mama must have been hiding them away in the woods until recently. I only saw these two, time will tell if more from this litter will appear. They’re curious & not super spicy. Meet Selphie & Rinoa
Selphie, a dilute torbie kitten, stands over Rinoa, a little calico kitten with one eye closed shut due to an upper respiratory infection

Letter: When the people who are supposed to be informing us, representing us, influencing us refer to our fellow human beings as “they” or “them” it dehumanizes our fellow man.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Is Outsourcing More of His Office’s Work to Costly Private Lawyers
Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney cost...
