"Literature in Context evolved from two independent projects, one by John O’Brien at The University of Virginia, and one by Tonya Howe, at Marymount University. O’Brien and Howe joined forces in 2017 and successfully applied for a Level II Advancement Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities Office of Digital Humanities in collaboration with Christine Ruotolo, Director of Research in the Arts and Humanities at The University of Virginia Libraries (HAA-258768-18). In 2022, the project was awarded a second grant from the NEH ODH (HAA-290349-23), as well as an Open Course Grant from VIVA, Virginia’s academic library consortium. In April 2025, the second federal grant was terminated, along with many others, by DOGE."

New Social D record next year (May 2026, no day announced yet)-- their first in 15 years. I've always kinda had a soft spot for the D. Hearing some of the new songs they've been playing live and I dig em. Supposedly the first single will come out next month (January).
I assume these will be on the record.

Techtonic shift: GCCs hiring 4x faster than IT cos now
GCCs are expanding headcount by 18-27% year on year, compared with 4-6% for IT services, according to data from staffing firm TeamLease Digital. Together, they employ nearly 2 million people now, up from 1.2 million in 2022, creating about 300,000 jobs annually. In contrast, IT services have added only 25,000-40,000 employees a year on a net basis during this period.

Not the coldest I’ve ever seen (that remains December 2022 in Reykjavík when it was -19°C), but it is no joke!

AfD-Boykott zu den Landtagswahlen 2026 in BW und Rheinland-Pfalz Keine Wahlpodien mit der AfD
In Belgien weigerten sich im Europawahlkampf 2024 die etablierten politischen Parteien im Rahmen des „Cordon sanitaire“, einer echten Brandmauer, mit der extremen Rechten zusammenzuarbeiten. Festzuhalten ist ein geringer Wahlerfolg der rechten Parteien in Belgien (vgl. (3) und (4)). Die Autoren der europäischen Cambridge-Studie von 2022 finden keine Hinweise dafür, dass Anpassungsstrategien die Unterstützung der radikalen Rechten verringern. Wenn überhaupt, deuten die Ergebnisse darauf …

Good Morning #Canada
My morning routine includes #CBCRadio with my coffee and this morning they had an interesting segment on Canadian youth returning to church. According #StatsCan 2022 data, 22% of Canadians ages 15-24 attended religious services at least once a month. That's a significant increase compared to ages 25 to 64. Angus Reid found that positive views of religion by #GenZ adults grew from 35 to 40% between 2023 to 2025, while views from every other generation significantly decreased.
This led me to read several news articles from late last year that reported on these studies, one of which is linked below. It appears the trend became noticeable during and after COVID lockdowns. The words of multiple interviewees tells me that young people's were looking for community and human interaction with something grounded with a sense of morality. That's positive even if you don't believe in her holiness above.
