Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Always in the name of budget cuts, important academic programs are shuttered. Follow the money. Guaranteed you won’t find it flowing into faculty pockets or their programs. This is not the answer to cost savings & they know it.
I’d missed this last week but Indiana passed a new law that is leading to the forced elimination of hundreds of majors across their state universities. Apropos of recent events, the eliminated majors include atmospheric science. Sabotage is a word that comes to mind.

I dug into Trump's budget over the weekend and here are 3 things you might not see in the news that I think are really important to know about.

This is such an important interview for those of us wondering how to make sense of the moment & take action. A must watch.
So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)
