In Ohio news, the republican governor is not endorsing the DOGE reject billionaire his party nominated who wants to get rid of teacher's unions.

Instead, he's making news with comments in defense of his party's *opponent* to replace him post-retirement.

Weird times.

How the professions being bullied also feel!

They were threatening to underfund roads in Indiana.

Sweetie, there are endless TikToks of truck drivers crossing into Indiana because it’s literally a pothole-ridden hellscape already.

A million vids like this, all gold.

I swear, Gen Z, we really were that dumb.

It was really honorable, him pulling it together. We thought that.

Here’s a model of the Chicago Hilton in gingerbread and McCain saying this beats the Hanoi Hilton.

Thanks @rweingarten.bsky.social for an incredible keynote discussion!

The book also supports the AFT so I’ll tell you: buy it!

A totally unknown infant tried to give me a sodden half-eaten cracker and I pretended to be excited but I didn’t take the cracker and he just lost it entirely.

So I took the sodden cracker immediately and he was very happy, as was his dad.

I think I know what room that kid ended up in.

In a hotel of labor leaders. ❤️

Glad they let me in by accident 😊.

In other news Chicago still here but I’m not leaving the building I’m in for 24 hours, so I won’t even see if it goes anywhere!

I got the corner booth’s peace award at the restaurant I’m at! Cheers!

Like I told someone once who was reporting on this: what critics scream about in higher ed doesn’t even resemble anywhere I’ve ever worked.

Oh just a day of thinking through cultural representations of unaccountable elites in the 1930s.

Got to see some traveling art from the Chrysler Museum at this exhibition on Art Nouveau.

From Gallé to Beardsley.

AAUP has a Political Action Committee!

Professors tired of getting jerked around, unite!

This guy. First dude to get fired from DOGE, and now he’s gonna try to DOGE through all our teacher’s unions here in Ohio with this silly nonsense.
November 26, 2025 at 1:32 AM
From AAUP.

Ironically this is how they’ll have accidentally anti-woke themselves out of every STEM degree?

In times like these I can see why Yeats got really into theosophy or whatever.
