Small Potatoes. Country Hardball. Turns out Gilgit-Baltistan's a pretty important region.

18th-19th c. France/Germany. Arendt.

Chess. Aviation. Agriculture.

A spectacular start to the week 🧩♟️

White mates in 2

@promotedpawns cracked me up

[winter @promotedpawns]

I mean I usually resign on move 10 so if checkmate was replaced with another word, it wouldn't really affect me

@BBGreatMoments Eric Davis and Mattingly come to mind

Solution from yesterday. Black played 1...Rxc6!, winning. The key idea is that 2.Bxc6 Nd3+ 3.Ke3 Nxc1 4.Ba4 fails to 4...Nb3! and that 4.Kd2 fails to 4...Nd3 5.Kxc2 Nb4+.

There should be a Letterboxd but for Great Courses lecture series

@MatthewSitman This perfectly captures my relationship with not only old friends of mine, but also family

A student pilot experiences his first fully developed spin during emergency maneuver training with an aerobatic instructor. Having only practiced incipient spins before, he entered the spin at 6,700 ft, started recovery at 4,500 feet using the Beggs-Mueller method, and leveled out safely at 3,200 ft.

Going to be very difficult to surpass those first seven things

It's my favorite lineup so far

my dad goes to a bar with his friends every friday and he makes a list of discussion topics pt 132

Just saw this on Substack. The metaphor is spot on.

type of shit jordan peterson would say with tears running down his face

@MattPolProf Behemoth by Neumann is another book worth reading on this subject

[schlimm haeckler @SchlimmH]

@MattPolProf Was going to suggest Payne but you beat me to it by a mile

[Timur Kuran @timurkuran]

AI just killed higher education’s old teaching model. We need smaller classes and oral defenses for every paper—implying more faculty time, hence more professors. Since banning AI is unenforceable, written work alone can no longer be trusted.

Universities cutting humanities programs know the going narrative is “the humanities are in crisis.” So if you cut them, the public will assume it’s because there is no demand when the truth is universities are cutting the liberal arts to pay for nonsense or offset mismanagement.

Gotta love the Air Tractor 802. Real pilots!

It's great that schools like St. John's & Ralston are AI-free. But this is key: The good at stake in teaching & learning *as a human (not robot) activity* is not a niche thing for "quirky" schools. It's a universal good for all liberal education, from R1 to SLAC & all in between.

When historians in the next century attempt to study the present era, they won’t be able to access our internet. A quarter of all the sites that existed from 2013 to 2023 are gone. There are well-funded efforts to destroy the Internet Archive. All that knowledge will be lost.
