Everyone sat around talking about how these people were incredibly stupid and then they managed to successfully implement large swathes of the plan that they all told us they were going to execute and you really have to wonder who is the stupid in this equation

I’m reading The English Civil War: A People’s History and it’s hitting a little too close to home.

I thought today was going better but she managed to get into a fight with three cats and is now sulking in a box.
She did it again. Her current trick is looking right at us as she chews on the Christmas tree as if she wants us to spray her with water.
Harper woke up and chose chaos today. Please keep us in your thoughts.

We literally got a leadership update at 4:30.
When a person or institution chooses to schedule an announcement on the Friday afternoon before Christmas which was also scheduled as Epstein Dump Day, that tells you a lot about the pride they have in the announcement.

I would love this
From my own niche: institutions of higher education should stop chasing trends, work internally to assert a set of values, and then build curriculum around those values.
just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

I loved Rob Reiner's bit part in the video for "Does He Love You?" from Reba McEntire and Linda Davis. The video is great cheesy fun.

And LL Bean is still out here with a measly 15% off.
Hilarious how cyber Monday turned into cyber week. Now it’s cyber two weeks 😂

We ain’t got it. Go away.

Glad I saw the option to upgrade to the latest iOS 18 version instead of iOS 26.

There’s this idea that I’ve been pondering for a bit that’s probably yet another Everyone Will Yell At Me thing, but… I don’t think that pointing out that AI is full of inaccuracies is an effective tactic at getting people not to use it. It’s based on cultural context that not everyone shares…

I still tense up at the end when there's no communication from them.

Is it a bad sign that I'm already bored with this snow?

Annual story time! #EduSky

6 years ago, my friend Tom tweeted this. Because I’m a holiday LOVER who had a classroom tree and array of holiday assignments,

I paused and decided to poll my students to gauge their feelings.

The Somali community was well-established in Minnesota when I lived there in the late ‘90s and early aughts. The vitriol being directed at them is just as dangerous as any attack on any other group would be. Turning people against their neighbors only hurts communities.

We went to doing this for evaluation, promotion, and tenure letters from the department.
Annual reminder that one nice thing you can do as a coworker is, if you have to write peer reviews, just go ahead and ask your peers what accomplishments they’re proud of this year, and what they want to work on next year. It’ll make your job writing them easier, and help their best work be seen

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Totally get that, but I guess I don’t see how the rest of the review supports that reading. Nowhere does it suggest that it would be better off that way.
