Also today - a professor was fired for political reasons and the admin cut HSI funding.

And now, together with my fellow professors, I enter the end of term process colloquially know as the Grading Conclave. I will only emerge after the grading is complete - black smoke = still grading. White smoke = I have finished the grading.

Instead of paying taxes can I just donate $ to NPR?

My favorite character in The White Lotus is the location. Holy shit, good job, Directors. Everyone is an awful person, but the nature makes me want to drool.

(Okay I also like Belinda & Walton Goggins is always excellent. *tips hat* to the man who made us appreciate Boyd Crowder).

Happy to see the results out of WI today. Will change the assumption that money can buy elections, hopefully.
