The Tennessean was nice enough to revise their estimate of “hundreds” to thousands for the Nashville march, specifically 10-12K. The tourists we passed seemed pretty surprised to have shown up in time for a protest! Here are some of us on Church Street, beneath a giant face by Tyrone Wright.

Nobody had sex before 1968. True story.

I’m a prof. I know that any fellow prof who puts Ph.D. in their signature is too self-involved. Yeah, it’s the minimum requirement for your job. I kind of figured you had one. And I do my level best to avoid administrators who put in their sig. That’s usually a sign of someone who’s a little (ok a lot) too proud of…

Because if they watch where they are going, they are not working. That’s the point - Apple is in full slave driver mode. Sure the pay is great, but that assumes you can stop working long enough to spend it.

The original Federalists engaged in some seriously duplicitous wordplay. A federalized government is a decentralized government. To play down the fact that the Constitution was, in fact, a power play for a more centralized government, its proponents said “No, we’re Federalists, really” as propaganda. You know, the…

A Bluetooth speaker that also dispenses salt and has a light. Oh, and I’m suppsed to open an app to dispense the salt. And I’d have to shake the phone like I’d shake a salt shaker.

If people understand what net neutrality is. I got into a discussion on Facebook with a friend who wanted to get rid of newt neutrality? Why? Because the internet service providers support net neutrality in order to protect their monopolies.

The academic job market is very competitive. They would have no problem at all finding not one but a few dozen highly qualified potential replacements. There are enough non=molestors in my profession that there is no need to employ the molesters.

Carmen the Mini Aussie also likes turkey. You know, in case you have some extra.

I have kale every day. Some days it’s shaped like a patty melt and fries. Sometimes its shaped like a loaded up plate of Indian buffet food. Some days it’s even shaped like something healthy. On occasion!

Polio killed my father. He learned to walk again, seemed normal to anyone who didn’t know, but every once in a while his legs just gave out. There were many falls. I know of at least 4-5 concussions, and there were various smaller head injuries. What happened to him in the end is what happens to some football players.

Well, yeah. But what about Huey Lewis?

This is our modern day fugitive slave law. And we all know how well that turned out.
