What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Trust me, New Yorker person. We do not expect this.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

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.

Does Thanksgiving end when you've had your meal and everyone has dissipated into the dark night? Yes? Well, then, it's now officially that time of year:

Ok weird share here. I'm allergic to turkey (and don't like ham) so every year I have a plate (or 2 or 3) mounded sky-high with alllll the glorious side dishes. I bring the corn casserole.
As of this moment, I'm a bloated sac of protoplasm.
