Bob said, “This project has never not been precarious.” Universities were on fire when it began. They are again as he enters retirement. They survived in large part by trusting that what they were doing was important & by doing it better than anybody, judged only by their own high standards. 14/

“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

The actress told the Hay Festival she is writing a film version of Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls to draw attention to sexual abuse in war zones

And also: a shout-out to my colleagues at NPR news. They don’t have the same problem with management/ownership as do journalists elsewhere, but they have been punished by the Admin for their coverage, and remain under threat. Still, as someone once said, they persist. www.npr.org/2026/07/26/n...

Maybe I’ll start using my own invented generational cohort names by way of protest. Can’t trust Generarion Pencils, you know what they used to get up to. Not like the sacrifices the Widest Generation made. I hope that Gen L never forgets that.

This whole Taylor farms thing and all the food being infected with parasites. It's actually a very good example of why these conglomerants and monopolies shouldn't exist. You shouldn't be able to operate under one name and own 30 brands that do the exact same thing

In the 1930s, Gordon Parks was a young railroad porter who gathered magazines that passengers left behind and studied photographs of migrant workers taken by Farm Security Admin photographers. At 28 y.o., he bought his first camera for $12.50 at a pawnshop and taught himself how to take photos.

Many know how, under the leadership of A. Philip Randolph, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) fought for 12 years for recognition as a union, decades after white railroaders were unionized. Porters made up 44% of the Pullman workforce, yet were excluded. That fight was a blueprint. 🌱

The Chicago Manual of Style@chicagomanual.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Do you like commas? We do too, even if we don’t require them with “too” (or “either”). Get the full story (going back to 1906) in this latest update from CMOS Shop Talk.

Commas with “Too” and “Either”

The seventeenth edition of CMOS was the first edition to rule explicitly on whether “too” in the adverbial sense of “also” should be set off by commas. The rule applies also to “either,” which as an a...

He's not Christian and yet he embodies so called "Christian" values better than any other politician in the US and the right/centrists want him crushed. I hope they all die mad.

The beautiful game. The people’s game. Throughout this World Cup, we have been reminded of a simple truth: football belongs to everyone. So does the joy and community it creates. Yesterday, I joined New Yorkers on Rikers Island to watch England take on Argentina.
