No run today, but I did spend pretty much the whole thing on my feet (and I ran the Rocky steps twice at the end), and I'm feeling all right. So hopefully we'll be good to go for this marathon.

The letter, Polikoff said, went “far beyond” the Harvard affirmation action case ruling. “But if it gets universities to change policies out of fear, they can accomplish a lot even if the argument of the dear colleague letter doesn’t hold water.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

The back is definitely way better today. Figured I'd test it on the elliptical before on the run. Went well—hopefully it was just random back pain that goes away all by itself?

I'm not saying AI isn't the future but it is notable that the biggest promoters are weird, cultish trolls and zealots who sound EXACTLY like NFT evangelists from a few years ago. Again I'm not saying it's snake oil, I'm saying they have lots of snake oil salesmen in their ranks.

We’re either a nation of laws or we’re not. And if you don’t believe we’re a nation of laws then you hate everything this country is supposed to stand for. Period. You can use the excuse that you’re just greedy or just racist or just stupid. But the truth is that you hate what the American ideal is.

Hmm … this back pain preventing me from ::checks notes:: walking could pose a problem for completing a marathon next week. Guess we'll have to see!

In @the74.bsky.social I argue that we can't accept current academic outcomes as the "new normal" and that if I'd "been told in 2020 that children would still be scuffling to this extent by the middle of the decade," I "would have been shocked and disappointed." www.the74million.org/article/new-...

Yesss one of my grants is on Ted Cruz's stupid woke grants list. It was our 2022 NSF RAPID to understand the impact of COVID on American households. We did in fact find racial differences in families' educational experiences during COVID. 😘 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

We had been told that DOGE's cuts to ED did not include the regional education laboratories (e.g., www.edweek.org/policy-polit...), but I have just been told by a trusted anonymous source that employees of REL Pacific were told their contract has been canceled.

Musk seems to lie about almost everything; why would we trust what he’s saying DOGE is cutting? Good sleuthing here from @chadaldeman.bsky.social

All this federal government stuff produced some extra work for me, and I didn't get out for a run because of it. And that sucks.

So rude how proper nutrition—mostly eating enough—helps you recover. And if you don't do a good job, you won't recover as well. Anyway, took a rest day today.

Been losing interest in football for years. I don't think I'm even going to bother figuring out how to watch the Super Bowl this year.

Some easy time on the elliptical. It's less that I'm tired and sore after yesterday's effort (though I am) and more that I got the worst chafing of my life from my vest yesterday.

They can’t do almost any part of their agenda (which is hideous btw, but setting that aside) without passing laws. For the most part those laws are impossible to pass. And so they’re just causing havoc by executive order and hoping the courts let them. That’s it, over and over, rinse and repeat.

I've been wanting to complete all the Delaware River loops since I started running. Today, with @uptowngentlefriends I completed the last one! A little icy, but a great time!

Uh, this is a nuclear bomb on university budgets if I am reading it correctly. Mandating an indirect cost rate of 15% overnight?

No running yesterday because of ice and snow and canceled kids' school. No running today because I've really structured my week around trying to get all life admin done on Fridays. Feeling frustrated with my inconsistency lately. But tomorrow is a 20-miler and all will be right with the world!

When signing an eo that bars trans students from sports Trump said "From now on, women's sports will be only for women” On Saturday I'll be standing on the start line of a women's race at the biggest indoor meet in the world in front of a sold out crowd in NYC and I STILL won't identify as a woman

This is an absolutely remarkable memo — and a betrayal of both the Constitution and the American political tradition. In the US, by explicit contrast with interwar fascist governments, the state is not supposed to be an extension of the personality of the chief executive.

I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
