My quad didn’t come in last in our Head of the Charles race today! I call that a major victory.(Of course, our age handicap helped a lot… )

This is my nephew. He is an American.

naive ?: if abortion is immoral/sinful, what gives a state legislature the right to decide that it is legal in, say, Iowa? Implication: people opposed to abortion on moral/religious grounds must be disingenuous in their expressed view of "let the states decide." Is that right?

in the context of Rep. Jordan deleting his tweet about the "lying" 10 year old rape victim: is there any evidence on, or database that collects, statements by public officials to the effect of "I was wrong." (or even "my evidence was incomplete" etc.) How about simply examples?

In the 2nd most important news of the day: I’m in the Colorado Rockies and just did 4 zip lines for the 1st time without falling off or having heart failure. Hands still shaking—but I couldn’t bail out in front of the 10 year olds in the group. Fun!!

How are faculty handling inserts from ChatGPT into course papers? Is it “plagiarism “?

question from a tough semester: how do faculty grade small-group project reports, when syllabus says all members of the group get the same grade —but evidence shows that one student added ChatGPT paragraphs and the others (who signed the report) report unawareness of insertion?

to conservative scholars and data analysts: please explain, from your understanding, what is happening with CDC and other agencies' data removal. This is a plea for information, not a rhetorical swipe. The answers are really important.

my new book is finally finished, to my relief and pleasures. Comments???

"Trump Names Himself Principal Ballerina of Kennedy Center Ballet" -- Borowitz Report. This headline almost makes up for many previous ones over the past few weeks.

Best euphemism of the day (week? year?) “Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn.”

In Texas, “we do not have a warning system, “ says official after at least 24 people are drowned in flash flood. The same thing had happened 40 years ago. Heartbreaking, infuriating

All leaders in the TX disaster are culpable. Certainly Trump/musk/DOGE/Lutnick etc But also governors starting at least since Ann Richards. Why no warning system in area known for deadly flash floods ? Who permits kinds’ camps on bank of a river known for flooding? Disgusting.

With regard to firing people because of what I agree are terrible comments about Kirk’s death: I trust we will never again hear about the horrors of cancel culture perpetrated by left wing students.

Politics is complicated. Am I now going to have to become a fan of Boebart, Mace, Green, along with Cheney, Comey in earlier incidents. As the New Yorker put it, “yikes”. Who is next on my new list—Clarence Thomas? Unlikely…

Epstein fiasco is intersectional theory’s deepest paranoid fantasy come blazingly true. Wealthy powerful middle-aged white men really were an oppressive cabal. Backed by government institutions, and some ostentatious Christians, including young white women. But their emails!!
