So apparently the administrators at Northwestern have caved to the extortionist demands of the Feds. Faculty voted 595-4 AGAINST this measure.

There’s this attitude out here in California that people don’t need to stress about the Trump admin (outside of immigration) because we are such a large economy, and it always makes me think of Hong Kong

to keep functioning society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities
I wrote about a novel approach to tackling misinformation currently being discussed in Wales--and which some say Canada should try, too. What if we made a rule so politicians couldn't lie? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Is it time to make it illegal for politicians to lie to us?
That’s the question currently on the table in Wales, which has just released a draft of the “globally pioneering” sanctions for politicians.

An older male academic once used up several minutes of our limited panel Q&A time pontificating on his own (seemingly unrelated) research. When he paused I said, very politely, "I'm sorry, was there a question?"
The room ERUPTED, and my colleagues still talk about it 10+ years on.

I heard a story about a female academic giving a paper at the IHR who, after receiving a long and aggressive question from a senior male professor, simply leaned back with her hands behind her head and replied “Oh, do fuck off.”
One of my colleagues went to a seminar at Berkeley and when someone asked a question Derrida brushed it off saying ‘what you ask may be important but it is not interesting’.

So, Jesus said there will always be poor people (Matthew 26:11).
He also said (everywhere!) look after the poor.
The fact that there will always be poor people means Christians will always have an obligation to look after them.
Any other view is a form of Christianity that doesn't follow Christ.

I used to think I didn’t like board games or a lot of games really, then I found out that I just don’t like having to learn how to play a game from people who are bad at explaining it. And because some don’t know, you can play a game very well AND be bad at explaining how to play the game.

Lot’s of small acts add up to making a BIG difference. Here’s a terrific thread on how you can help your local shops.
We know that, for a ton of reasons, a lot of folks don't have as much to spend as they'd like this holiday season. Sooooooo, here's a thread of things you can do that will support your local indie bookstore or other business WITHOUT spending any more than you intended...

A book is not a luxury item.
(It can be, but so can food.)
Books are both amazing and cheap.
After all my years, I'm still thrilled by a new book.
Even a bad book is full of potential before you read it.
Read* more books. You'll see what the fuss is all about.
