- "So I was on my way to vote..."
The butchered remains of a dolphin were found on a New Jersey beach. Feds are investigating apnews.com/article/butche… - Zoom has conditioned me to believe that if I don’t like an event or meeting, I can just leave—immediately and without a word to anyone. This will be hard to unlearn.
- I certainly don’t expect gifts from my advisees. But it’ll be hard to beat this one.
- Today I get to pay $300 to take a 3-hour English test in order to be eligible to stay in the country where I am employed to teach English language courses at an English language institution, a prerequisite for which was the PhD I earned at an English language university.
- This looks like the third or fourth tweet in a thread that promised to make Sunak look smaller for every 100 likes.So many things wrong with US politics but in this situation you think they'd just have said, "Mr President, I think we'll do this speech indoors"
- Me standing in line at the campus coffeeshop after students have returned for the fall semester:
- Rough day for some American Catholics, who no longer have an excuse for not understanding what the Pope says about caring for the poor, the imprisoned, and migrants.

- It’s a bit hard to stomach all the “I got caught up in the moment” excuses from people who bought plane tickets, got time off work, made hotel reservations, packed their matching tactical gear, flew across the country...and then stormed the Capitol.

He's now apologizing to the American people and asking for forgiveness. Story: trib.al/FJdNrxy
