Really fantastic op-ed from Jessica Grose: nytimes.com/2025/07/16/opi…
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…

First look at Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills, which debuts Aug. 5 on HBO.
Our politics is absolutely full of these kinds of “we’re only doing this because the other side did it first” obfuscations and rationalizations.
The weirdest Dem claim--because it is so easily disproven--is that somehow Dems only gerrymander in response to Republicans gerrymandering.
There is a massive effort underway - the industry working hand in glove with the Trump White House - to stop AI from being regulated. MAGA will pay a huge political price for this once the AI-driven job loss goes nuclear. And it will. Sooner than people think.
No ban on state artificial intelligence legislation, but it looks like states with stricter regulations will not be receiving much AI-related federal funding.
A dystopian expression of the pluralism pivot at universities, which I wrote about this spring. Log into a platform where peers rate you on your civility and ability to debate, in order to get into college.

Celebrating fourteen years of marriage with the love of my life, @MelissaMWear. There is no one like her, and the privilege of my life has been to love her.
The Holy Family Church, the only Catholic church in Gaza, was struck by an Israeli shell on Thursday morning, resulting in several injuries, including the parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, told Vatican…

Good news, if it holds: thehill-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/thehill.co…
