*These* are the higher education stories that matter, not some half-assed report farted out by a group of faculty cranks at ivy and ivy-adjacent universities

shout out to The Strand bookstore staffer who did this

Wait, they put a halftime in soccer?

Love to have Bloody Marys with @drewjakeprof.bsky.social

It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Ben Schwartz!

Didn’t have to think for very long

The secret history cannot be beat

In honor of my team of hooligans winning the bronze medal match, I will watch the FIFA documentary again

A really, really good one

It sure is my dad’s EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY. Happy birthday, Rabbi Kensky!

All day yesterday I was convinced it was Friday so thanks to Peter for texting me this morning to remind me it was actually Friday today and I had to go to work

What a great day

I wish I could tell you that I have consumed any other culture/thought about anything else in six months but I haven’t, and here’s a little bit about why. Thanks to @publicbooks.bsky.social and anyone who has allowed me to talk at them about HR and MD: www.publicbooks.org/heated-rival...

Hey kids? If you ask me to review a book and you leave off the name of the female co-Author in favor of just listing the male co-author? Not only will I not do that review, I will tell you exactly why.

MY BEST FRIEND IS COMING TO TOWN TODAY AAAHHH

Allez Les blues! Storm the barricades!

My team ran a kick-ass summer advising and enrollment session over the past two days. No tears.

Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.

Coming to Denver in November!

It’s a beautiful day to enroll students! Let’s play two!
