The last thing I saw as I was leaving was this person in a parrot costume leading a “Who’s streets? Our streets!” chant. Stay weird, Chicago. ❤️

Do not frame this as "reining in DEI" or "politicians versus professors." If you look at White House interaction with CBS, Harvard, law firms, international students, &c the principle is much more general. It is as simple as "State authority over opinion," and we need to say it that way.

I do think some people are better at one or the other, and I think academia should have paths that allow for that. However, I strongly disagree with the statement that no one can teach and write.

ok, there are many unrealistic expectations in academia. I kind of don't think that's one of them?

The last great car imo was the Honda Prelude, my own car as a teenager and one of the most beautiful vehicles made by mankind.

If I do not fill one of my own mugs with *ice* water, my orange cat will refuse to drink. Such divas (we love them).
