Since the conglomerate showcase they call a parade is so boring, tell me your favorite part of your local parades. Growing up in Seattle I adored the drill teams with white tasseled boots—I wanted to stomp and dance with them!

Started college planning to be a drama major and then attend a Lutheran seminary, but first semester took a class on the formation of the New Testament realized my understanding of faith wasn’t a good fit for pastoring.
I started as a forensic science major because I wanted to go to medical school and become a forensic pathologist like Kay Scarpetta in Patricia Cornwell’s novels. But then I failed chemistry and biology, but had an A in English, so I decided to switch majors and become an English professor instead.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

This is soooo frustrating. I shared a commentary the other day that I had read only because it’s my hate-read catnip, and it turned out to be thoughtful! Optimistic! Argh. How many things have I skipped because clickbait headline writers?
Good Fast Times article on New York Times headlines. I was interviewed. One thing I should have noted: the rage-bait comes increasingly from the opinions section.

Annoyed by a 'New York Times' headline? It seems like that's increasingly the Gray Lady's goal
Several ‘New York Times’ headlines in 2025 have earned severe social media backlash. Is it happening on purpose?

Nothing like a memoir detailing repeated inappropriate choices that led to “falling up” professionally to demonstrate white woman privilege. Unless it’s the white men who absolutely should have known better “defending” themselves.

The Cornell AAUP chapter has consistently stated that any deal with the Trump administration would be strategically unwise and a betrayal of Cornell’s principles. This remains the case. At best, we can say that this deal could have been worse.
