I will add the following: our students lack the research skills required to audit an LLM essay for errors. They don’t arrive on campus with these skills; we teach it to them over four long years. So throwing freshmen in the deep end and saying “swim your way to a shore of rectitude” is folly.

they restored all the piers and completely replaced the suspension cables with modern ones but they had to specifically adapt the tension in them so that the bridge still shakes. 10/10 conservation work, no notes

An old lady steps from the queue. “it’s a carrot,” she says. Glares defiantly at the assistant. The assistant wilts. Enters the radish as a carrot. The elderly Polish gentleman leaves triumphant. Life resumes.

it’s all very minnesotan to talk around the problem and pretend that accurately describing facts is “toxic” and “outrageous” but no one says anything about the woman facing criminal charges for killing a teenager with her car

i think keeping someone like that in leadership is toxic and outrageous

If you are thinking about sending money to Amy McGrath or some long shot senate candidate, stop yourself and send it to your state’s legislative candidates. More bang for your buck and more likely to make a difference. A strong state legislative slate will boost the top of the ticket, too. 3/3.
