I wrote about the lack of administrative support for the liberal arts in @nytimes. The standard story we hear is that students don't want it. But a darker reality is that even when it wins big with students and donors it loses with those in power. nytimes.com/2025/07/17/opi…

similar to how as a society we have an “all hands on deck” for suicide hotlines and awareness and prevention while at the same time being ok with suicide (with a rx from a physician)

Back in Michigan. Struck again by the bizarre contrast between our "all hands on deck" efforts to make everyone stop smoking tobacco... and then we legalized cannabis and now it's everywhere.

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

“In recent years, there has been a growing sense that fertility medicine isn’t putting women first.” @madeleinekearns @TheFP thefp.com/p/what-i-went-…

HSRdirector's tweet card. A thousand miles from New York City, the place I call home, there’s a clinic that vows to help women with ‘unexplained infertility.’ I traveled there last year, in my quest to become a mother.
