That said, my research on the late 19th century US West is full of people complaining about horse-related injuries.

Riding horses is inherently dangerous for sure, but the ratio of injury and death we track in horse sport isn’t really comparable to the rates we would expect from just using them as means of transportation, I’d bet.

Probably would need to factor for differences in riding to figure it out - horse sport is really dangerous because we ask sport horses to do really dangerous things like gallop through a jump course designed to be really hard for the horse to navigate.

Publishing in February from @sunypress.bsky.social , a co-edited volume with the wonderful Lisa DiBartolomeo. It contains 25 chapters from an outstanding group of authors, and each one is a certified banger. 🙂✊

(gotta finish reviewing the galleys though--next week, @rcolesworthy.bsky.social!)

What do you teach? What level? What class size?

And just a tip - saying that “I’m finding it increasingly difficult to teach in the way my students need” is just “complaining about new technologies” is not the way to enter a conversation in good faith.

What do you teach and at what level?

Valid.

Also increasingly difficult to find ways to reward effort and taking risks on assignments with how the models are evolving and being used.

It’s becoming increasingly impossible without denying students learning accommodations that they need.

TLJ was truly wonderful. Rogue One is better for Andor, which filled the emotional beat leaps the characters made in the movie. Really cool how watching it was an entirely new experience after Andor.

I hate this bc instead of the actual solution here- increasing funding for arts education- this person is advocating for increased access to the slop button

Seriously, what other president is even remotely in his league?

There was corruption in the Grant and Harding administrations, but the presidents were largely uninvolved. Nixon committed crimes in secret but didn't really line his own pockets.

Trump is like a Thomas Nast cartoon come to life.

Seriously. It’s so gross.
