Very true! If this were a TV show with a reporter hero, these documents would uncover a huge conspiracy… 1/2 @CordeliaLogan
Attention must be paid. Meanwhile, in the past year, her teaching load had been reduced by the university to one class a semester, which meant she was making well below $10,000 a year. With huge out-of-pocket bills from UPMC Mercy for her cancer treatment, Margaret Mary was left in abject penury. She could no longer…
@CordeliaLogan If he were real, and had been my colleague, I wouldn’t want to discuss his personal life in a public forum.
“2011 called. They want their meme back,” I teased a student w/ a Nyan Cat T-shirt. (I was NOT actually wearing my fanny pack at the time.)
Then I realized… I’m a guy who gets excited about grading papers in a park.
I used something very similar to this shoulder-bag mobile phone when I interned at a radio news station my junior year in college. —14 Machines That Were Brilliant in 1985.
Where did this idea of parallel universes come from? Science fiction is an obvious source: in the 1960s, Captain Kirk met his ‘other self’ in a Star Trek episode called ‘Mirror, Mirror’, while Philip K Dick’s novel The Man in the High Castle (1963) imagined an alternate world in which the US was a Nazi…
Word to describe the sorry state of the MLA Job Information List: “@QSlobodian: @pannapacker Jöbberdämmerung.”
My son just scoffed at Kirk’s infamous “One to the fourth power” gaffe from #startrek #tos “Court Martial.”
Today the awkward but delightful “Monsters, Inc” company play helped me explain why Shakespeare put the awful “Pyramus and Thisby” play after the main plot has resolved in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. http://t.co/WSXD943LpG
After attending a performance of Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pepys wrote in his diary: “Insipidest. Play. Ever.” (Or words to that effect.)

When I was interning at a radio station in the late 80s, the power went out. A generator kept the station on the air, but with no computers or phones, we had no news to report. As it happened, I had brought a copy of the university paper with me. The news director pointed me…
For Apple, “change” no longer refers to revolution. It refers to fashion. Apple is becoming more like Prada and less like Edison. This has been the case for some time, it was just harder to notice as the iPhone was undergoing large-scale adoption. But in retrospect, Steve Jobs’s keynotes functioned more like catwalks than like…
I told them to put their name on both pages. 6 of 22 forgot. I had to do handwriting forensics to match the orphan pages. I hate quizzes.
She was a rookie in the autumn of 2001, the first female F-16 pilot they’d ever had at the 121st Fighter Squadron of the D.C. Air National Guard. [….] She had her hand on the throttle of an F-16 and she had her orders: Bring down United Airlines Flight 93. The day’s fourth hijacked airliner…

On 9/11/2001, I was remote enough from the tragedies that I managed to hold together pretty well, until that night, when my son, who was 3, asked me to read him this book. I recently noticed that the cover has been redesigned.
Powerful, painful essay. Worth revisiting. In the picture, he departs from this earth like an arrow. Although he has not chosen his fate, he appears to have, in his last instants of life, embraced it. If he were not falling, he might very well be flying. He appears relaxed, hurtling through the air. He appears…
