the one who loved horses, the one who was a great goalkeeper, the one who kept a diary every day, the one who held her sister's hand when they walked to school, the one who read Harry Potter in English, the one who collected old coins, the one who drew rainbows for her grandmother ...
also seems like it’s working out just fine for students and faculty!
How small is this college? It has been almost twenty years since I attended and my old sociology advisor still emails me every year on my birthday and personally invites me to the annual department waffle day, just in case I’m in town
As a Macalester grad it is extremely funny to me that they are citing it as this bombshell case. Mac has a student body of like 2,100. iirc it has a student/teacher ratio of like 10:1. I loved going there so much but let’s be super real in what world does it represent broader higher ed

that’s why her hair is so big. it’s full of secrets
there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran
a group called Grandmothers for Peace put up crosses on a hillside for every American killed in Iraq and just acknowledging this was perceived as so “anti-American” it was periodically vandalized. This was in a town 20 min from San Francisco. www.nytimes.com/2006/12/03/u...
“Constitution destroyed in plane crash” feels like a VEEP joke that they scrapped for going too far.

I just recently finished Sebag Montefiore’s big old book on the Romanovs and a weird running theme is how many American chancers and grifters were running around czarist Russia with basically the same mentality
“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”
20 minutes ago Robert Jimison The constitution grants Congress alone the power to formally declare war, something that even Republicans on Capitol Hill have sought to remind Trump of this week. In his video remarks, the president indicated that he understood this operation to be a war, citing the possibility of American "casualties that often happens in war." His declaration that "no president was willing to do what I am willing to tonight" speaks to the likely unilateral decision-making from the White House.
An action so lawless even the New York Times can’t both-sides it.
Never not a good time to read this fine book but kinda wild reading it as the AI boys absolutely doing a railroads tech feudalism speedrun
Everything reminds me of her
Waymo currently has to employ people to go around closing doors after customers! how is it going to be profitable to have a driverless car a human has to clean out every few rides max
They are going to be so unbelievably filthy the moment they are no longer seen as a luxurious novelty and it feels insane that no one pouring $ into them sees this
Strongly recommend this excellent piece. It actually understates the US failure: Brazil and S. Korea aren’t outliers. Quite the opposite. Since 2010, 31 democracies have convicted or banned leaders from office. Accountability is the democratic norm. America is the sole outlier.
Ohhh it’s a recession recession for real
