A calculated harassment campaign cost a faculty member her job, and the faculty appeals panel had no power.
Politicians & administrators are killing cademic freedom—the right and responsibility of faculty to use their professional knowledge and judgment in teaching, research, and service.
Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.

I've been talking about Castle Automatic a lot, but I want to make sure I pull the camera back and talk about the game system it's built for, HIS MAJESTY THE WORM, too. Gonna make a 🧵 about the core game's principles and add to it over the coming week.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Today is Boxing Day in the UK, and the Feast of Saint Stephen, the second day of 'Christmastide'.

The exact origins of the holiday are unclear, but may refer to the tradition of putting money in the alms box at a church, or to the tradition of giving a box of gifts to those in service or employees.

🕵️♀️ First 4 Nancy Drew novels
🚂 The Little Engine That Could
🎩 Morocco
🍑 Georgia on My Mind
and many more!

Sixteen hours in a car means talking through a whole lot of setting notes. Does it make sense? No clue. But it exists. Sense is for the second draft.

"Why do we have to take ethics classes for a computer science degree?"

This is why. And frankly, we should be failing more students for inadequately demonstrating their understanding of the topic.

Let's review some fun historical examples of why "No, actually quality will continue to matter."

December 25th. The day the Fellowship departs Rivendell to destroy the One Ring.

Whatever you celebrate, may you have the courage to take the first steps to defy and endure against the dark, and rekindle light into the world.

Shoutout to everyone who is scrambling to put the thing together

Very meaningful eye contact to those who just realized they don't have and can't get the right batteries

Strength to those who are putting together a thing with so. many. stickers.

You're making magic happen, and I love you for it
