Weather forecast has gone from “this looks bad” to “can I send the others to safety” bad. If we get out of this without severe damage to the house I will be shocked.

I just hiccuped while my face was submerged, and I’ll tell you, we should have some sort of programming that prevents that

So I’m at the point now where I’m cleaning my house so that when ICE breaks in I can share the footage without embarrassment.

ICE entered student housing and forcibly and violently removed a student. My child lives in this housing too.

Been loving seeing fellow faculty say that they refuse to even attempt to comply with WCAG and students who need accommodations can either get someone else to make materials accessible or fail or leave.
Sorry, didn’t realize folks like me were such a burden for you special faculty.

Okay, Gen-x folk, I need some help:
A Tribe Called Quest has a track, “Melatonin,” off We Got It From Here. At 4:05—right at the end—there’s an organ riff that’s giving 1970’s PBS. Nothing listed in WhoSampled, but it has been bugging me since the album came out. Swear I’ve heard it before! Help?

We’re totally about to be doing both civil war and world war at the same time, and if you think that’s crazy it is, so ask yourself who stands to profit from the US not being able to maintain its security or economy going forward.

Trump is not creative in any fashion. This is why any time he accuses someone else of something, it’s projection. He can only accuse others of what he has done or is experiencing.
So when he mocks Biden for being “sleepy,” in poor health, or for a lack of mental acuity, well…

So, the Trump regime is targeting Minnesota specifically to discredit and retaliate against Walz because they perceive him as a threat, right? The people they harm and kill are just collateral damage?

It’s the Sunday before classes start and I spent over an hour on the phone providing tech support to another faculty member.
For the record, I’m not in IT, but they weren’t able to help him.

Okay, it said it very quietly. More like “ᴹᵐᵐⁿⁿⁿⁿᵍᵍʰ ʰᵉˡᵖ ᵐᵉ”

I honestly don’t know why folks aren’t using water to literally ice up certain vehicles in hotel parking lots. Add glitter, too, just to keep it festive.

I wish the press interacting with him and his cronies would start asking one question:
“Who else are you planning to kill to avoid scrutiny of the Epstein files?”
Just that question from everyone, every time.

I am supposed to be prepping my courses now. They are fully loaded, all instructional materials and assignments are in place, all dates set, automations configured. Just planned announcements to go, really. But after learning how most colleagues do fuck all teaching, I cannot give a damn.

How does Trump plan to fight both a world war and a civil war simultaneously? I don’t see that working particularly well.

I predict that Trump’s actions will embolden others to attack us domestically. I would not want to be working in one of our embassies or consulates right now.

My eldest asked if we should now assume all foreign leadership is now subject to kidnapping, and whether that also applies to Trump.
She was crossing her fingers at the time.

That press conference was insane. Trump is unhinged, Rubio is his little mealy-mouthed sidekick, Hegseth is beating off over playing toy soldiers with real people.

Did we just kidnap another country’s leadership? What the fuck? Are they … what are they going to do with him??

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.
