The same Deloitte that the University of Wisconsin paid over $3 million to produce a report claiming that any degree outside of an MBA is worthless? The same Deloitte that just had to pay back the Aussies because their "report" was AI slop? #jfc #highered

Who loves Costco even more now? ✋🏾

They not only didn’t bend the knee when it comes to DEI, they’re taking Trump head-on.

It's not scary that my school's social media links still includes Google+. What's scary is that Google+ shuttered six years ago. #google #google+ #legacysocialmedia

Returned to Langlade County and the newly minted Antigo Heights segment of the Ice Age Trail. Taking pics for an upcoming article. Here's the dispersed campsite we cleared.

Orem, Utah sounds like a dangerous place. Better call in the National Guard.

Will be interesting to see the effects on incoming students this year.
Excited to present this great essay by Ashanty Rosario, a talented young journalist who attends Newtown High School in Queens, about how she's experienced the arrival of AI in the classroom.

"These programs have destroyed much of what tied us together as students."

Stoked that our OER has been accepted into the Open Ed Network collection. After test driving in our first-yeat biz writing course - and substantial 😏 copyediting by Kephren Pritchett - it's ready to share! #fyc

Art along the Beerline Trail, a rail-to-trail project that's been nearly 20 years in the making. Each year, more murals, sculptures, and structures appear - each celebrating the community and the modes of transportation that have informed the path. #rw24 #riverwest #milwaukee #biking #railtotrail

Nessun Dorma may not be a secret gem any longer but the menu still brings the heat. Mixed olives, bruschetta, and artichoke dip. Sarah reminded me that this place was where we went when we left the boys home alone for the first time.

It's been too long since we've taken a day to enjoy Sturgeon Bay. After weeding the community garden plot, ran the Ice Age Trail. Afternoon cherry picking (first time) was a blast; heading back with the Nikon soon. Capped with a couple hours at the beach. #dcwi #doorcounty #wisconsin #iceagetrail

Heartbreaking to come back from a peaceful protest to find that Minnesota lawmakers were victims of rightwing violence. #nokings #defenddemocracy

Following a Gays Against Groomers antagonist at the #nokings rally in #doorcounty. Guy came at me on cam (he didn't like my "Protect Trans Kids" shirt) and didn't want to continue the conversation. #protecttranskids
