So I was preparing for student questions and I wondered why George Wallace was shot- and basically the guy didn’t really want to shoot Wallace, but it was too hard to get to Nixon so he just begrudgingly decided he was fated to shoot Wallace.

In case you're wondering how local media is prioritizing the day's big national stories – newspapers generally giving less prominence to the classified docs dismissal than TV stations are:

It's a sign of Bluesky's maturation that we're getting better main characters.

Becker addresses the headline specifically in The Denial of Death, with IMO implications for the rhetoric of health and safety today:

Happy early July to those who celebrate.

Miami has two companies that produce news in both English and Spanish, and I don't think it's a coincidence that in both cases the Spanish-language newsroom fronted the arrival of monarchy to the US and the English-language one didn't.

The #2 story on El Nuevo Herald's app and website right now is an astrological reading of Trump's future.

I really don't get why people keep saying things like this. It's not only not true; it's not even close to being true. But it does seem typical of what extremely online liberals are marinating in.

This is a good lede.

Curious about the circumstances that led the owner of this shirt to no longer need it.

Wearing this hat outside the Midwest is a good way to get people to ask if you’re from Michigan.

This is why I find this panel from the very beginning of @manruss.bsky.social's Rumpus Room so unstoppably funny. It works in spite of, or perhaps because of, the fact that this guy is an asshole.

I went to Nexis and looked for four issues connected to the candidates (issue AND biden OR trump) and then sentence-connected just to Trump (issue w/s Trump). He's in a big % of the two topics getting policy coverage in 2024 and less than 10% of the other two. /3

Starting in on my light summer reading list.

Speaker Mike Johnson: "We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections. But it's not been something that's easily provable. We don't have that number." Sounds legit. www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

My edited volume with Tom Johnson is now out, and has been for a few days – it’s so full of good stuff that it actually jammed my mailbox shut! It can jam yours shut, too, at 30% off with code LXFANDF30: rowman.com/ISBN/9781666...

What the hell is even going on here? Set aside that the falsity of the claim is not addressed. The point with Trump's Nazi rhetoric is not that he has been "referencing" it, FFS. Calling your opponent a Nazi is very obviously different from, e.g., expressing Nazi ideology on immigration.
