At what point will accrediting bodies act? Texas Tech is accredited by the SACSCOC, whose stated mission "is to assure the educational quality and improve the effectiveness of its member institutions." www.sacscoc.org There is no way that Texas Tech currently provides a quality education.

Boosting for the Friday crowd. Pass along if you know students affected by the Hampshire closure!

Obviously it does not matter to the people who think he's a business genius, but Trump not understanding percentages gives an indication of just how much actual work he's done managing his own businesses

Me still not using ChatGPT to do the work.

I watched this live on tv and it remains one of the most remarkable things ever to happen in baseball

“Your narrative evaluations transfer with you” - This and our educational model at Evergreen are two of the many important ways that we can support @hampshirecollege.bsky.social students

We also want to support the students most hurt by Hampshire's closure, and thus are doing our best to reach out with support and ways to finish a degree at Evergreen. We just launched this resource page: www.evergreen.edu/admissions-a...

As you know, Hampshire College is closing, and hundreds of our wonderful staff & faculty colleagues are facing sudden job loss without severance. Hampshire staff & faculty have launched an Emergency Relief Fund—if you’re able, please donate or share! www.helphampshireworkers.com

As one of the last remaining true alternative colleges, we here at Evergreen were keeping concerned watch of what was happening with Hampshire, one of our close allies. It's heartbreaking that they have closed, and is a loss for the landscape of higher ed.

All crew, Today's shut down of all lighting and consoles was intentional. The ship needed to pass as space debris to fool an enemy. Worf

Still dying to know who in Spokane donated tens of thousands of dollars to VDARE... apparently a well-kept local secret. Would be cool if @rangemedia.co could find out.

i have just checked the rule book and there is no rule that a dog can not be a tailor

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

It's the ass series in Seattle

Probably boiled peanuts at a Columbia Blowfish game (independent unaffiliated minor league baseball)

Actually there is.

baseball is the only American sport that would react this way to a goose, which speaks to both the best and worst about baseball

When you're ideologically committed to capitalism but your brother, Rom, is a Marxist

Looking forward to meeting tonight with the book group that I organized through my newsletter. On tap tonight is Margaret Creighton's wonderful Gettysburg book, THE COLORS OF COURAGE: GETTYSBURG'S FORGOTTEN HISTORY. kevinmlevin.substack.com

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

Fix your hearts or die.

It's really fun to live in a state where Democrats have full control of every branch of government and our utilities are skyrocketing because pro-AI corporations have threatened Dems about campaign funding

Here at Evergreen we do not make very much money at all, but we are unique in having a pay scale determined entirely by experience year and no differentiation between disciplines. Pay equity is a longstanding value at Evergreen!

It's such a small thing, but my life would be not-insignificantly improved by word processors defaulting back to single-spacing for all things without extra spaces after paragraphs. If I want a space I'll add it myself thanks.

I take the single white glove and raise you the Nicholas Cage cushion cover Amazon delivered instead of the Elmer’s glue sticks I’d actually ordered.

Neko Case has written the lyrics AND script for stage version of Thelma & Louise.

I had drawn a bath & new kitten Liara is fascinated by them. She stood up to peer at the water, so I had my phone out to take a pic. I bet you can see where this is going.

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

We should have never doubted this man

For the cost of one Harvard Professor of the Constitution Only Applies to White People, you could endow 10 professorships of any less commonly taught language at any university in the USA

rip to all the people excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

Then block me, it's not an airport. Jesus.

I simply cannot eat canned tuna

This is really incredible, and I think would be very effective to think through with students about how and why to cite their sources

This feels relevant for academics in particular. Lots of the dynamics are familiar.

I remember when it began, and here’s to all the wonderful faculty and students who made it so creative and innovative. Thinking of you, Phil McKean and Ken Burns!

This really is a loss for us all
