These boomer memes make me laugh because yeah, I agree that feels like the correct sentiment. But also that’s what everyone said about ‘70s cars in the ‘90s. And ‘80s cars in the 2000s. And so on.
But also, it’s possible that no one will be restoring ANY cars in the apocalyptic near future.

So the one thing I’ve learned so far about my predecessor in this teaching job is that he apparently didn’t know how to tell students to clean their brushes.

I respect “War Pigs” for its moral simplicity. Listen to that on 10 and then read one of those 1,000-word op-eds that amounts to “the reasons for state violence are complicated.” Which do you find more convincing?

Making a shopping list and my phone just corrected “fly swatter” to “fly swagger”. Let me tell you, that is the LAST thing I need around here.

I live across the street from a college president's house. A small midwestern liberal arts college president's house. And let me just say: they'd have a rosier financial outlook if they reclaimed the money spent on perpetual mowing and yard maintenance over there.

I’ve been reading Big Takeover for years so it’s pretty cool to see a review featuring my cover art in there. Also it’s a great album, in case there was any doubt.

The absolute irony of my daughter receiving her MS in Equity and Social Justice in Education the same week I read an email from the college where I've worked for 20 years replacing all of our DEI language with generic words about "community and opportunity". Glad she made it out of Iowa in time.

So proud of my firstborn kid, who received her Master’s degree from UNO today. There’s much to celebrate in the world, even amidst all the noise and chaos.

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

The last fellas who came from Chicago, were given a rigorous education in Catholicism and then claimed to be on a mission from God? They destroyed a suburban shopping mall, wrecked about 300 police cars and ended up in Joliet penitentiary.
Just saying.

Siri, what's Swedish for "fuck off"
1/ The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying. ⬇️
