Tell the kids to use fountain pens. They don't require nearly as much pressure—this is what's causing the cramps btw—to lay down ink
Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.”
Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.

They Were Every Student’s Worst Nightmare. Now Blue Books Are Back.
Cheating with ChatGPT has become a huge problem for colleges. The solution is painfully old-school.

I will never ever ever understand how the Biden administration had all this nuclear-level dirt on Trump and didn't pull the ripcord. You can try to explain it but it will never make sense.

We don’t spend enough time discussing how the entire MAGA movement is kept afloat by the constant threats of stochastic terrorism orchestrated by the president of the United States.
Congress, the courts, much of the media … all kept in line by the mob boss and his army of anonymous goons.

“I’m 84 years old. Threats against my life expectancy are kind of hollow. I don’t have much time anyway. I’m more concerned that our democracy is at risk because of the trends against the rule of law.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives
More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

Oh yeah, that footnote is entirely unnecessary to the case in hand otherwise. Definitely agree with Lee‘s read.
Check out the Kavanaugh FN 4; I think it's pretty clear that the Kavanaugh Stop thing has gotten to him:

If family being here since 1940 is enough for "heritage" priviledges; what does my 1630 get me and mine?

Being a member of the CPC is basically meaningless— but if you want to make this sort of intra caucus appeal then maybe Goldman shouldn't have voted for a Republican resolution to censure the only Palestinian in Congress, who is literally also in the CPC.

Popularism is flawed because “voters support X” does not mean “voters will support candidate who supports X.” It’s not what issues you support as a candidate; it’s what those issues say about you.

when we said “defer electoral strategy to the actual politicians running for actual offices” we meant “after calculating wins above replacement somehow”
