- I gave students a document to read argue whether it reflects radicalism or conservatism vis a vis the American Revolution and they were overwhelmingly noncommittal. Just an observation.
- The absolute pair on the woman getting her photo taken all smiley in front of Trump Tower in Midtown right in the middle of an anti-ICE, anti-Trump group of protesters! Zero fucks given.
- In today's first world problems, I finally had to upgrade my phone for the first time in 5/6 years. I started the setup process, which is now wireless, without realizing it would take 8 hours to transfer everything over to the new phone. Now my phone is bricked for 8 hours. Can't stop and restart 😫
- Reposted by Juneisy Hawkinsgetting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys
- "You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY
- So let me get this straight, one ICE agent was justified for killing a woman because she was in a car that was going to run the officer over (bullshit, but stay with me), but it's OK for ICE agents to attempt to run people over with a goddamned tank? Got it.
- An important thread.

- In annoying things that affect no one but m but make you go WTF?, today I placed an Instacart order and in the order was a bunch of bananas. I received one single banana.
- This hot take is actually not that hot. #foodstudies #foodculture
- Oh yeah, Massachusetts is prepping. Apparently this bakery had anti-ice cookies and received death threats. They won't be open their usual hours tomorrow. Not out of fear, out of baked goods. They completely sold out and need to spend tomorrow restocking. fallriverreporter.com/massachusett...

- Reposted by Juneisy Hawkinsand I feel like we were steadily heading in that direction for a half century (as i type on a shard of glass) and then this dude showed up, and a few other dudes like him, and now we’re in the mirror universe where people are trying to bring back slaves.

- #skystorian friends, I'm looking for some computer game recommendations. I haven't gamed in a long time but I need a new way to spend my time. Many moons ago, I used to love CivCity Rome and would love to find something like that. I've tried Sid Meier's Civilization V but couldn't get into it.

- The cognitive dissonance is astounding.
- This semester I'm teaching two sections of the same class so I merged them on Canvas and assigned discussion groups so students didn't have to wade through 90+ posts. I don't think it's working well. People wait til the last minute to post so early posters have fewer posts to interact with. Catch 22

- Happy first day of the semester to all who celebrate.

- I was putting together a short reading list for my students on genAI in education and there was a comment in this article that really resonated with me for a few reasons. It's a long comment, but it closes with "Using AI in school is like using a forklift at the gym." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...
- Reposted by Juneisy HawkinsThis war and extra-judicial kidnapping is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Political leaders on both sides must condemn it. It’s not about whether Maduro is a tyrant but whether the US is still governed by laws and the Constitution. As if this morning, we are clearly not.

- Yesterday I made a 50% bread flour, 25% whole wheat flour, and 25% rye flour loaf with relatively low hydration and it’s really good. Makes great sandwiches. I do think I want to increase the hydration a bit next time. It’s based on the recipe for lean French bread in Modernist Bread. #yeastmasters
