I wish the Max Miller story was less framed as “look at how Republicans are hypocrites” and more “once again powerful people clearly knew of a horrific level of abuse being performed to somebody and obviously chose not to care about until it became a political liability.”

In the intro communication theory classes I've taught, this is one of our central topics. The practice of note-taking is a form of thinking, much like writing is in general. A lot of figuring out happens as you take notes, especially with practice and especially longhand. 1/2

Anyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.

"Every year since 2020, Homeland Security requested grant recipients to prioritize training officers as immigration agents, though that is illegal in California under the sanctuary law. In 2025 and 2026, became the grant’s overall emphasis." 🤯 calmatters.org/education/20...

"To demand education as a means of empowerment is not simply to demand it as a means of employment, but also to pursue and seize it as a defiant luxury which employment would deny us." A piece developed from recent AHRC panel "University of Excess" happyhourathippels.wordpress.com/2026/07/29/t...

The University of Excess: On Education and its Employment

The title of this piece originally came together from a conversation I had with Stevphen Shukaitis in the wake of the waves of redundancies at the University of Essex, from which he pitched the rat…

16) Stole this one from a recent skeet I saw: If generative AI could REALLY make the next GTA in 6 months with 10 staff, or write the next bestseller, or produce 10 blockbusters a day? They wouldn't be trying to sell it to YOU. They would keep it for themselves and guard it from you ferociously.

I first watched this show circa 2013. It felt prophetic then. Come 2026, more so. It merited a rewatch, hard thinking, some sleuthing & an essay. So thank you @typebarmagazine.bsky.social for helping me disseminate my output on the best(?) iteration of Ghost in the Shell. ▶️🎧 Rise, Origa

A federal judge has ordered Virginia to restore the voting rights of thousands of people who were illegally barred from voting under the 1870 Virginia Readmission Act, the law that readmitted Virginia into the United States.

A Voting Rights Promise, Betrayed for 156 Years - Bolts

After the Civil War, Congress readmitted Southern states on the condition they not expand felony disenfranchisement—but they quickly ignored the restriction. It has finally caught up with one state, with a federal court ruling against Virginia and reviving the Reconstruction-era promise.

What on earth, Seattle, this isn't like you. Waiting to hear from my kid and her wife, and my best friend. I'm sure none of them were there, but good grief. Nerve wracking.
