Steve Randy WaldmanThe 8pm track projects the center of the eye coming right over the Sarasota/Bradenton Airport, maybe a mile from the Center of the Universe (Palm Court, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NewCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NewCollege</a>).That's where we used to have our end of the world parties, when lesser storms showed up.

Steve Randy WaldmanMilton's forecast track is within 10 miles of <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NewCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NewCollege</a> of Florida.By far the most wonderful place I ever lived, for the past two years vandals like Ron DeSantis and Chris Rufo have been dismantling the college at an institutional level.Maybe the algorithm doesn't like what they've done.

The image of hundreds of repudiated books in a dumpster seemed to blend the fascist horror of a 1933 book burning with a 21st century dumpster fire meme. I’m so old I can remember when other New College books ended up in a dumpster. This is not the first time. But it is another current example of the college, drained of administrative expertise, fumbling so badly. Too many things are happening with no forewarning and no consultation. That’s by design.
