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.

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

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.

The mailman brought a copy of an incredible Hüsker Dü release, "1985: The Miracle Year," for which I wrote liner notes. This 4LP/2CD set from Numero Group comes out Friday. You can hit the Numero site or your local record retailer to get yours: numerogroup.com/products/198...

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.

Seems particularly relevant as ISU interviews 2* candidates to be president this week
Same thing is true for leaders of colleges & universities
Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.
Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.
