Sakes alive.

Have NEVER seen this on Capitol Hill:
While talking to @RepTimBurchett after the GOP conference meeting, former @SpeakerMcCarthy walked by with his detail and McCarthy shoved Burchett. Burchett lunged towards me. I thought it was a joke, it was not. And a chase ensued...

How good is a new Beatles song going to be if it stayed in the can for *checks notes* more than 50 years?

I'm sure I'm missing out on some Very Important Lesson about our economy and our species, but that crypto dude Sam Something Hyphenated who's on trial right now? Can't be bothered to care even a scintilla about that. Like, might as well be cricket scores.

Happy Thelonious Monk's birthday, everybody. This was my gateway tune and taught me a critical lesson about the difference between what I assumed about jazz and what it actually was, among other things. youtu.be/EaN0txvB6Hc?si=dxJc…

Today's required reading: @erichoov on the ostensible end of race-conscious admissions. I found myself thinking more than once, Preach, Brother Hoover. chronicle.com/article/a-time…

Well, this is interesting and disturbing. In addition to a million dollars of additional lifetime earnings, a college degree might garner you an additional five years of lifetime. chronicle.com/article/americ…

Archaeologist Dr. Jean-Loup Ringot specialized in pre-historic music demonstrates a 'Lithophone'.
Lithophone, originally a pre-historic musical instrument consisting of a rock or pieces of rock which are struck to produce musical notes.
Sounding stones made of basalt, granite, marble and other minerals were used in many ancient cultures for ceremonial and religious purposes.

This was one of the lessons I learned in altweeklies—search court records on *everybody*. Probably there's nothing, or nothing germane, but every now and then you learn something very surprising and useful! And anyone can do it.

ICYMI: As IUPUI splits, some of its tenured professors are finding that tenure as they’ve known it is shifting under their feet. chronicle.com/article/a-50-y…

My latest: The breakup of IUPUI has led Purdue to offer tenured professors “university tenure,” outside an academic department. Is it a good way forward for changing institutions, or an insult? chronicle.com/article/a-50-y…
