The Faculty Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the governor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of academic freedom have been swept away. Fear will keep the professors in line- fear for their pensions.

Um, why does the DoD have a list of “Christian religions”?

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I just went 79-3, think you can go 82-0? I got some good spins here: www.82-0.com/share?id=J8O...

Defining the limits of human potential as career earnings is itself a supremely low opinion of Human Potential.

The existential covetousness I coveted this with back as a 10 year old would have moved me to commit crimes if I had the means with which to commit them. I never had one. A love lost to the winds of time. Plug it in. Fly for me where I stayed earthbound.

The MAGA whispers “you’re possessed by a demon” and Trump whispers back “I am the demon” or however that stupid T-shirt goes.

Very old school beat and style. It absolutely makes sure you can vibe while hanging on and considering every word.

To add to her list of atrocities, today Pam Bondi has spoiled a plot point of Andor Season 2 for me.

A young Nixon aide named Roger Ailed said “that sucked, let’s make sure it doesn’t happen again”, and then started Fox News. Unfortunately times have changed. If it weren’t for the far right echo chamber Trump would have been there dozens of times already.

For those keeping track at home, the @uconn.bsky.social women just made their 21st straight Elite Eight. The last time they missed the sweet sixteen we were only three months into the administration of a new president: Bill Clinton.

Bot debris / now I can’t get my Arby’s / going to my microwave / hot pocket calling my name / what I’d give for cur-ly friiiees / they’re under brightline

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
