Posts like this reliably do big numbers but I have to say it certainly doesn't reflect my experience at a state school with lots of underprepared and first generation students. Most of them are doing about the same quality and effort they've been doing since I started teaching
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

i don’t think the axios reporting is entirely off base if you have house members out here soft launching an abolish-the-senate position lmfao
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

I find it strange how rarely people in the U.S. and outside of it truly contend with how VAST the country is geographically.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.
It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Klein is, for whatever reason, fumbling for parts of the coalition to throw overboard for the sake of accommodating authoritarians — the sake of “living here with each other,” to use a line of his this week.
But it’s other people’s liberties he’s bargaining over.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!
