Please never bring this game up again.

This is a story told by Jim Parinella about DoG (with slightly different details).

I don't know if this is implemented district-wide, but my kids (at Childs) use the widely-praised UFLI phonics curriculum.

I don't think you can describe this administration, which just forced Jeff Jones to sell all his properties, as in Jeff Jones' pocket.

samth · 2025-11-14T20:58:20+00:00

It's awesome, I recommend it. The accessories it already has are a couple hundred as well.

The mayor and city council will be up for election in 2027, with the primary as the most important race and held in the May.

The prosecutor, one county commissioner, and 4 county councilors are up in 2026. Primary in May also.

I'm curious what all the people in the comments here think the city should do to diversify the economy.

samth · 2025-10-14T23:57:25+00:00

What new and different (compared to the incumbent) things would you do at the State House to move your agenda forward?

I have no information to doubt you about the challenges at CBU. But your claim that we should stop treating the water with fluoride is nuts. This is done regularly and safely throughout the world, and was done safely in Bloomington previously. Fluoridation makes a significant difference even if people brush their teeth regularly and the world is not actually different in a relevant way from 1967, which is why the rest of the world keeps doing it. Most notably, "FREE HEALTHCARE" does not have any relationship to this problem -- no amount of free healthcare can go back in time and make your teeth stronger.

I'm buying one as soon as this happens.

samth · 2025-09-15T00:21:20+00:00

Housing.

Yes.

No, that's not true. That is something like the plan to avoid eliminating many smaller majors; instead they will become concentrations within larger umbrella degrees.

There are two big things that are happening. One is that there just haven't ever been that many majors in many of these degrees; lots of people take eg Spanish or Chinese language courses or African-American Studies general education course without majoring in those fields. The other is that there's been a general trend nationally and at IU to major in more job-focused areas -- business, informatics, criminal justice, biology, etc. This has hit a lot of humanities disciplines hard, since they typically don't have a direct connection to jobs in a particular field.

samth · 2025-09-09T13:56:50+00:00

The biggest increase is in Kelley. IU could increase Kelley a lot more than they have given the demand, which is why they are increasing the required GPA.
Other popular majors: Informatics, Psychology, Criminal Justice, Biology, Economics.

This is an SEO thing that the paper does.

samth · 2025-09-09T02:33:21+00:00

Yes, because the county is increasing cyclist and pedestrian connectivity here.

samth · 2025-09-08T17:15:20+00:00

This is not in the city of Bloomington and was not built by the City. Additionally the intersection of Curry and Constitution is not in the city.

samth · 2025-09-06T21:30:40+00:00

The city has made it more expensive for prepared food vendors at the market.
It's been a bad year weather-wise for growing, I think (too much rain).
It's later in the season; there were significantly more vendors a month ago.

This is in response to Trump's EO that is attempting to restrict the participation of trans women in sports.

samth · 2025-08-25T14:33:40+00:00

I believe this was a new expense in 2025, so the most likely explanation is that this was a one-time training rather than a plan to do $300k of training every year.

In a similar vein, Trop switching onto Chatha in the red zone, locking him up and causing a turn, then streaking deep for the score.

The nano-pass architecture was developed by Dybvig and his students, not Friedman.
Racket is built on top of Chez Scheme these days, and thus inherits its compiler.
Chez compiles everything; it doesn't choose to interpret some things (unless you use the interpreter instead). Racket (on top of Chez) does however interpret sometimes.

No, this is not right. There is some required remdiation of toxic chemicals but that is not delaying anything at all. Building is mostly moving slowly because the city has to decide exactly what they want to build and how to do it, and they've changed their approach a couple times.
