Professor. Urban conservative. God-loving.
Found the pith hat needed for the display. Bloody brilliant, what?
Academic publishers running low on ideas.
Purses have always been more than a fashion accessory. “The Things She Carried” reveals how bags empowered American activism, helping the carrier cross boundaries at pivotal moments in history. Learn more: oxford.ly/44FaI6N
Thanks to the Quebec and Canadian taxpayers and pensioners, who paid the development costs and got nothing in return, the Airbus 220 is becoming a success story. Nothing like state investment! youtu.be/WphiIA2zK9Y?si…
"Should Young Canadians Under 30 Migrate to the United States" as 1.5 million other Canadians did in 2023? We'll take 'em, but they could also stay and fight for their culture and civilization. aristotlefoundation.org/events/lawrenc…
Still one of the best photos from The Escalator Ride that Changed History ten years ago, by Getty. In addition to the substantive achievements of the Trump presidencies, this was also a day that memorialized forever the common sense of the people in a liberal democracy.
Peak toxic femininity. 5 lives and careers ruined. Cat ladies hissing outside the court. The failed female prosecutor saying it was worth it. The New York HQ of @NHL waiting to see which way the wind blows.
The NHL has released a statement saying that Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Callan Foote, Dillon Dube, and Alex Formenton are still ineligible to play in the league as of now.
"Every step forward in infrastructure or industry empowered white people and disempowered Black people." Read enough of this new racist hit job? Me too. Shame on @OUPAcademic

Lindsay Shepherd (@NewWorldHominin) sounds the alarm on shrinking academic freedom in #Canada. Shepherd calls for government & civil society act to restore freedom of thought on campus before it’s too late: macdonaldlaurier.ca/crisis-of-conf…
"A legal bill of almost three-quarters of a million dollars—at least. All to defend the university officials’ ability to censor ideas like 'all men are created equal'.” @InstFreeSpeech thecollegefix.com/censoring-all-…
The Fed is filled with economists who believe the role of the central bank is to maintain high employment rather than stable prices. A new @RichmondFed attempt to debunk Germany's debt brake which "perhaps" contributed to its slow growth. richmondfed.org/publications/r…
Colonialism was good for the environment. Without it, much of the critical habitat and ecology of Asia in particular would be gone. A friend just drew my attention to this book from 2002 (unpublishable today)... doi.org/10.1017/CBO978…
