Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 28, 2020 90 Comments

Inside Higher Ed provides pretty thorough and good coverage of, ahem, higher ed. I don't visit it daily, generally when there's some issue that pops up. I have found their comment section to be relatively sane, *relatively* being the key word.

But the hardest hit is at the local level, not the names you know and love/hate. Buzzfeed says The Coronavirus Is A Media Extinction Event:

Baby Walt turned four months old yesterday, though it feels like he's been with us always. And seems impossible that it's only been four months.

Posted by Leslie Eastman on January 01, 2020 17 Comments

It's hard to believe that in a few, short days we will be staring a new decade. As the 2020's begin, I thought it might be fun to look back on the era fondly known as the "Roaring 20's."
