This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence.

More time separates Julius Caesar and Shakespeare than separates Shakespeare and you.

What’s something that’s a banal observation in your field, but which really blows students’ minds the 1st time they encounter it?

Students reading Shakespeare: "Why do we have to read in Old English?"
Me: "This is Early Modern English, actually."
Students: *minds blown*
Me: *pulls up Beowulf or Lord's Prayer* "This is Old English."
Students: "That doesn't even look like recognizable."

"Knight" and "knife" are spelled that way because
1. Those letters weren't always silent
2. French influence
3. Writing is the most conservative form of a language and thus the most resistant to change (see "through" vs "thru, "night" vs "nite," etc.)

it is grimly hilarious that, given the immense, decades-long fetishization of "leadership" and "leadership skills" in business-oriented academia and politics, even unto the formation of leadership institutes, there should turn out to be no leaders in any positions of power

Here's your reminder that serving on a Board of Education is a political appointment. It doesn't mean you know jack shit about education. But, you know, clearly the founder of Silver Dollar City is an education expert.
