Rolling Stone has excerpted an essay from my forthcoming book. It's about what happens when you get all of your info about the world from the TV (cops are heroes!), and then go out into the world and see for yourself. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

The Italian government has repatriated 5 migrants to Egypt, flying them directly from Albanian territory. The flight took place on 9th May but Italian authorities have kept quiet about it, probably because it is of very dubious legality.

Students washed some bone this morning while we opened trenches. Everyone was on site in the afternoon to clean trenches and put up safety fences. #LULP #Libarna #archaeology #RomanArchaeology @boisestate.bsky.social @uofuhumanities.bsky.social

Yesterday our students got an overview of excavations at #Libarna from our Director Katie Huntley, and our trench supervisors Alexis Mosley and Richard Chadwick before laying out this year’s trenches.

6 month, long exposure pinhole camera Solargram. Paper wet - part was beginning to disintegrate from water intrusion. Had snow & wind storms & lots of rain May/June 2025. Pinhole is tiny - I was surprised paper was so wet. Very pleased with result - even more pleased I got the angle right.

Critics who decry "administrative bloat" in US higher ed rarely distinguish btw two phenomena: (i) the rise of an overpaid administrative class and (ii) the proliferation of university staff providing high-demand services to students, esp. in the areas of learning challenges and mental health. 1/3

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.
