Never mind assassinations ordered by Seal Team Six. Let’s have Biden order special forces to short-sheet Trump’s bed and then video the result for all to see. Very very bad. Very clearly immune from prosecution. And very funny. It can be live on the new Twitch channel: Dark Brandon Criming.

Today, let’s celebrate our independence from the king of England and rededicate ourselves to independence from the kingpin of Mar-a-Lago.

Okay, Sherman, you've explained how scholars in a bunch of fields reason, and reason about evidence. But what about history? I've claimed that historians often act as "argument bricoleurs," and gestured towards formalism with the footnote as the procedural guarantee. That's not enough.

My teaching assignments have pushed me in this direction, too: the last two years I've co-taught first-year courses for our 2 PhD programs, and I'm scheduled to teach a key class in our EdD. It's a good stretch to represent a range of inquiry approaches. On my drive, I've had one question repeating:

While driving 40-60 miles a day between home and hospital, I've distracted myself with some audiobooks, a sprinkling of mostly-non-news podcasts, and thinking about the nature of scholarship. I'm PhD-trained as an historian, MA-and-osmosis trained in quant fields, and in a college of ed.

Further thoughts are in the direction of thinking that since 1/20/2005, every president has had roughly half a year before their popularity/approval tanked.

I have some nebulous Thoughts, but if Biden steps aside, "Okay with Harris 2024" ~ "Okay with Biden 2020," which worked better than I expected. I vaguely remember you were quite enthusiastic about "Okay with Biden 2020."
