It feels quite unreal, but *The End of College Football: On the Human Cost of an All-American Game* is officially out in the world as of today. Half a decade’s work finally on full display.
Please grab a copy, request at your library, and spread the word.

People have accused my macro photos of being AI which is such a bummer. Like yeah man bugs and crabs are weird but they really do act like that. That’s why nature is cool. AI has ruined weird little guy photography.
The amount of people I see harassing real artists and even wildlife photographers with accusations of AI is genuinely disheartening, and sadly this is just the beginning

For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

This is a great point.
Thinking about 2+ years of anti-Palestinian repression at many of Canada's "top ranked" universities: McGill, U of T, UBC, U of O and especially U of C and U of A (shame!). The Maclean’s rankings don't assess academic freedom & freedom of expression on campus but they should.

Almost all forces are pushing Gen Z toward greater exposure to and acceptance of different people and cultures, excluding our reactionary leaders and establishment media.
“Here’s what the data shows: Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation ever studied.”
This absolutely tracks with years of teaching members of Gen Z.

True. I also hope it'll inspire us to rethink a system in which students have to be overloaded with work (4-6 courses per term, or "full-time) to qualify for loans and bursaries.
