I just watched Idiocracy for the first time and my main takeaway is that Maya Rudolph is such a babe

Cursed that RHOSLC has an episode about aging parents this week when I really need an escape.

My next door neighbor is on this famous podcast! Very cool.

Just remembered how we held my dad’s funeral reception at my mom’s assisted living facility and at one point one of the people who worked there came in and made an announcement shilling for the company, brought brochures, told people they looked like the target age demographic

My husband is playing in a chess tournament this weekend and it has firmly cemented my commitment to never having to take kids to competition events on the weekends

Everyone thought Fetterman would be the tough guy and instead it’s @katmabu.bsky.social shouts to women

Can’t wait to teach civil liberties and free speech on Monday 🫠

I am *so* excited for this book!!! Finally, shipping 12/1. Laura isn’t on social media so I have assumed the PR role — buy this book! I’ve been reading these stories for years and it’s the most compelling political science stuff I’ve ever read. Also Laura painted the cover art!

I am so thankful for the queens icons legends of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City 💕

These Emmys are so weird

Is football really good this year or is everything else just really bad?

Yeah so this shit is super dangerous for those of us who actually teach at universities

Today would’ve been my Dad’s 73rd birthday so *I* cooked his favorite dinner

I guess my take is that he was just a kid. He deserved the chance to grow up.

Wow I’m between two 200-student class lectures and not sure how to handle this

I love this for me

Calling Josh Allen short on that run was a very, very bad call.

Y’all I have *a lot* of ideas on how to build up civil discourse from the level of community discussions on public problems and I think my ideas could be super useful! But scaling up requires (a lot of) resources, and those resources need to be nonpartisan or at least copartisan.

This is an absurd system, these hours are ridiculous. I just want public transit 😭😩😡 I don’t even understand how people afford private transportation, like surprise there’s a screw in your tire and now you need to spend ~$800 on a complete set!

For a period of time in the early 2010s my friends described me as “good at concerts” so I have a lot. But mostly the afterparties. Penny Lane in the PBR&B era.

People on this site spend so much time talking about messaging and the thing is messaging has absolutely nothing to do with why we are here, it's the complete absence of any platforms to put messaging or information on.

Anyone have any essay assignments for intro to American courses that they've had success with in the AI era? Would love some fresh ideas!

Forget first class, fly basic economy for $300 and 23K miles more!

Pretty sure United is canceling flights because of the Air Canada strike and blaming “weather” (or “whether” according to the United chat representative). Don’t piss on your workers’ labor conditions and tell me it’s raining.

Do people understand fascism starts by seeing some as less worthy than others?

Jen Shah has the opportunity to truly earn her way back on RHOSLC

I just googled the title of my dissertation

28, and only one of those is in Texas. Gotta visit those spots but Texas on the academic off season is of no interest to me, I melt in OKC.

A “course evaluation” c. 2015.

I’ve only attended public universities, I’ve only taught at public universities, and it seems like we should all treat public universities with a bit more respect.

The best thing about being married to a private chef is all the leftovers -- tonight's dinner was duck confit ravioli with a trumpet mushroom sauce. Eating that while unshowered and wearing crocs is true luxury.

This is the “took a vow of poverty because my daughter rides horses” guy.

“I’ve taken a vow of poverty because my daughter rides horses” is a wild thing to say

Fun Fact: the Colbert announcement came on the 13th anniversary of the *exact* date of him personally cussing me out. Karma?

Why does this look like a default Beamer slide?

Playing around with Claude and it is wild how bad it is at providing inaccurate statistics from journal articles. Just totally inventing claims.

Forgot to share the life update that I'm officially joining the political science dept at OU!

When you hit your commercial break-ing point while trying to watch The Bear on a service you already spend $17/month on, remember that the PBS app is free and has incredible content.

This was an incredible documentary filmed over more than thirty years that highlights how the US economy has impacted two families from Milwaukee, Wisconsin www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

This Alex Jones doc isn’t telling me anything I didn’t already know, but what the actual fuck is wrong with people?

THUNDER UP. Really excited for this city.

My next door neighbor is running for Governor of OK! And I can confirm that this video does indeed take place in her driveway.

Nothing made my Dad happier than being a Dad.

I’ve been staying with my BFF for a couple weeks and her brother is a state senator and his family is, understandably, scared. Super scared.

Dad’s first communion, 1960

Live footage of me today while my parents’ (and my) home is being completely emptied

Really hate when middle-aged men don’t take me seriously and generally treat me like I can’t understand big words like “balance sheet” and “tax assessment.” Don’t worry little girl, that’s for us men with fancy models to understand. Show me the models and I’ll show you where you’re wrong, actually.

Gotta add this to the CV
