Well maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece Till you tore it all up Running scared, I was there I remember it All too well

In keeping with the theme of the University of Minnesota walking out of negotiations: yesterday the graduate labor union at the U filed a petition with the state to finally get the University to follow the law. Explainer below, tl;dr press release here: umnglu.org/wp-content/u...

🧵 in a bit, but the University has essentially given the state DFL caucus the middle finger by, and I mean this literally, claiming the laws passed in the 2024 session don't mean anything. The U administration is asking the state for millions of dollars while telling them their laws are optional.

Not to vaguepost but I have an exclusive and *exciting scoop* about the university of Minnesota, the ongoing labor/negotiation issues, general shenanigans. DMs are open if you like to write about local issues and want the first details!

Good news, everyone! Turns out the new UMN $200/year athletics fee actually has nothing to do with the House settlement. To imply otherwise is, direct quote from RC, "fake news".

That travel day had everything! Allergic reaction (possibly anaphylaxis?)! 5 hour delay! Mild physical assault from a passenger followed by a flight attendant clearly thinking I was experiencing psychosis! Overnight on the floor of the airport! Gate checking! Didn't brush my teeth for 28 hours!

Please help

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

This sounds like an unholy blend of: 1. Awkward doorstep/wedding crash speech in a romcom 2. Child in 2nd grade telling you about their cool new thing 3. A lil dash of Trump 4. Someone who is very very high

Is it eldest daughter behavior to accidentally eat peanuts at a meeting and "feel like a diva" for asking if anyone has a benadryl

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

All the job search advice in the world, wise though it may be, doesn't take into account that I now need to impress a LLM as much as the hiring manager

What people outside of the Jewish Summer Camp Ecosystem don't know is that Zionism is just baked into camp to the point you as an 8 year old can't tell where the Judaism stops and the Zionism begins

I recently learned that "union avoidance" is an endorsable skill on LinkedIn. What kind of life have you led to get to that point? Are you at peace with your God?

I'm not there live, but these DFL convention antics are eerily reminiscent of the last day of the 2024 state leg session where the Republicans shouted and chanted "USA" to try and kill the final 30 minutes

Was being in lab yesterday un-American (not observing the 4th) or was it extremely American (working even on a holiday)

This means supporting unionized workers even when it's inconvenient for you. Even when it's your workers. Looking at you, academia 😉

PSA for men: unless you know for a FACT that a woman is a baker, you do not ask her if she baked the desserts at the professionally catered scientific conference. Thank you 💛
