Was not expecting to read today that on Black Friday, a raccoon broke in, got drunk, and passed out in the bathroom of the liquor store just off campus. And yet, it also seems like a very Ashland thing to happen.

Again, a decade from now "AI skills" will be a commodity, & the scarce resource in the labor market will (once again) be individuals who can think, write, analyze, & communicate, as it has been forever and always. And we'll still be fighting tired, age-old battles defending the liberal arts.

These days I really wish I’d studied turf management in college instead of history and political science. I think I’d be a lot happier.

Trump is highly abnormal but this campaign outcome is standard poli sci:
-Incumbent parties perform poorly when the public is unhappy with the economy
-Most people don't pay very close attention or have consistent ideological views
-Election-specific variation often takes the form of a uniform swing
