Sorry, I meant IversityateowaIStun of science and technology

There are four (4) image files that are supposed to go together to form the letterhead, but the email doesn’t do it right because we are Iowa State University of Science and Technology.

This is the same provost who is trying to mandate that every major incorporate AI.

All strategic plans in higher ed are bullshit, but Gustavus seems to have a good one. It is direct and simple. They aren’t chasing fads (*cough* AI *cough*) but are focusing on academic excellence tied to high impact student experiences, community, and the financial health of the college.

Graphic design is my passion

Hooray! For Ames Water YouTube video by Swessball

You need to make a video more like Ames, Iowa:

What's so frustrating about this is like: I know a lot of Catholics who disagree with some of the Church's teachings but were born into the Church and feel tied to it, and I really understand that struggle. But Vance is an adult convert.

Talking Timberwolves as always

I want a chatbot with his personality.

I can't wait for my provost to do this.

And yes, the Dem affiliated group doesn’t release the poll if it isn’t good news.

There is nothing but good news for Dems in this poll. Sand leading in the Governor race, the Senate race is close, and if the generic ballot numbers are right, Dems pick up 3 seats in the House.

Bless you Canada for the "fuck ice too" chants.🙏 We're doing our best to fight down here, and it's great to know we still have allies. #AEWDynasty

Opinion | Beware conservatives promoting “intellectual freedom” Victor Ray: This conservative lie about schools like mine is furthering authoritarianism

Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

She promised that in exchange for him no longer fucking the couch.

Amy Klobuchar is definitely going to win.

and that sucks. but instead of putting our collective energy into trying to change that, which we probably can’t, we should put the effort into winning seats in the state legislature.

win enough that you make Amy the least powerful part of state gov

My favorite bit is that there is basically zero student interest in this. They had to cancel scheduled courses because *1* student enrolled. An Associate Dean told the Interim Director, "I can take care of notifying the one student and cancelling the course."

The Interim Director wants to turn the presentations into a book. I am sure there is some rightwing grifty publisher that will publish it.

They personally invited a long list of Republicans, but then took a long time to reply to the one Democratic legislator who wanted to attend.

Among the highlights, their one lame event went way over budget, overspending on alcohol and basically everything else. They even overspent on space. How do you develop a budget that gets the cost for space wrong?

GOP invited to Center for Intellectual Freedom event, Dems weren’t Before an event debuting the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa - promising “greater viewpoint diversity on campus” - organizers sent email invites to about 100 Republican lawma...

This is just great reporting on what a shitshow the Center for Intellectual Freedom is:

I've never seen a bad version of this song. This is one of the best.

I'd like to get some work done today.

And yet I find myself reading the book of Revelation, especially chapter 16. Armageddon.

I know from my youth spent in an evangelical church that one goal of some extremists in the church has always been to bring about Armageddon and judgment day.

Me when my institution falls in the rankings: Makes sense.
