Well, they seem to have an open door policy for assholes though, don’t they Charlie Brown?

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

This is amazing. A rightwing dark money group did a poll for our (just really dumb) State AG and found her down to an unknown challenger by 7 points. They spent $600k on ads and got her to even in a new poll. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/11/23/c...

The only thing that would make this a better summary of college football is if the players all got NIL money for knife endorsements.

This song is great and I'm always happy to hear The Time, but this isn't the song to play as a tribute to JellyBean Johnson (RIP). Prince played drums on this.

Faculty will defend academic values unless the faculty on the committees have close ties to the admin and it turns them into lickspittles.

Meg is a good friend and, more importantly, one of the sharpest and most informed folks I know.

I really hope my friends in 64A will consider endorsing and then voting for Meg Luger-Nikolai, who is a good friend and one of the smartest, most committed people I know.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.

Good morning. I've got a banger new post out today that develops a new method for placing voters on the left-right ideological spectrum, and adds a new, "non-ideological"/affordability axis to usual way we chart & think about US voters (esp swing voters). www.gelliottmorris.com/p/not-just-l...

“Your religion cannot become a threat to our freedom, but our religion will be a threat to your freedom”

I graduated with a James Beard Award winning chef who became the enemy of every pro-union person in the Twin Cities

This whole fight is amazing. The goober running this picked a group of grifty right wing scholars to “advise” this grifty “Institute” and our Board of Regents is mad that there are more grifters from Iowa on the advisory board.

The goober in charge of this place called The University of Austin a “top university.” You know, like Princeton and Stanford. I’m not sure they could have found a more embarrassing person to run this rightwing shitshow.

Anyone want to donate $500,000 and pay a $30,000 fee to lease a condo on campus for 10-years?

Tenure should end at 65. After that, you get one year contracts.

Not just in Florida.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16? For me, it is my favorite album of all time

Buxton got jobbed

I’m embarrassed to have worked there.

What a fucking match

First ever women’s blood and guts. This is going to be awesome.

always the people u most suspect tbh

No John Hughes? Are we sure he’s from Chicago?

The more I think about the angrier I get. This is a state legislator who pretends to care about bias in higher ed explicitly saying that some science should be disqualifying. This is very scary.

Good to know that the little wiener in the legislature got mad because one of the candidates for president at ISU believes that climate change is real

Kim Reynolds can still be ISU President if Mike Pence has the courage

Go Aqua-Buddha:

Refs got money on the Vikings

Iowa State just had the Ag Dean at Cornell as a finalist for our president search. If this had happened a week ago, I think his interview is a little different.

The airline cancellations are going to cause a riot. The dude from the Real World is about to see what happens when constituents stop being polite and starting getting real. 🤣

This is going to be a blast.

It can always get worse

AEW being on the right side of history 🤼

Surprisingly, the second candidate is neither internal nor a washed up politician. I am shocked.

JD Vance's brother is losing by SIXTY points for mayor of Cincinnati. He's getting hammered so badly I thought he was Pete Hegseth at a 10AM meeting.

I can't wait for this

Iowa State announced the first candidate for president and i am irrationally excited by him. A legit scholar and administrator running the College of Ag at Cornell. More importantly, there is a little bit of snark on his Twitter feed and I am here for it.

It is good to know you can heckle the death of Dick Cheney and not get fired because the online right hated that guy too.

Naz Reid

The best sandwich I e ever had was L’Italiana at All’Antico Vinaio in Florence

Seems particularly relevant as ISU interviews 2* candidates to be president this week

I haven't seen this phishing attempt before. If was actually teaching this semester, I might have clicked the link.

No context needed.

Fucking dodgers

Well, shoot
