4 panel meme of 30rock scene. Gavin Volure (Steve Martin) is about to jump from set rigging. Liz Lemmon tries to talk him down. Captions call for higher Ed to be cautious about new tech's impact on learning. Higher Ed claims Liz makes sense. Liz Lemmon adds GenAI to the caution. Higher Ed screams wildly that Liz stopped making sense.

No liberal or elite university has ever completely restructured itself in order to "control" any conservative faculty or students
Screenshot of news story showing Texas a&m board of regents text that read "... the reason we were going to combine arts and sciences together was to control the liberal nature that those professors brought to campus."

*screams at Webster*: IF YOU DONT EMPHASIZE THAT LANGUAGE IS JUST A SOCIO-POLITICAL CONSTRUCT THEN YOUR BOOK IS BULLSHIT!
Angry post claiming a book on religious demographic trends is "bullshit" because the angry poster asserts that religion is "just a SOCIO-POLITICAL ideology" and that religion's (which he put in quotes as though religion is not a thing in and of itself) entire purpose is to brainwash people for power and money

Feckin Yeats, man
First stanza of Yeats' poem "the second coming": Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

A friendsgiving feast with coworkers reflecting my team's wide ranging backgrounds: Mac and cheeses, turkeys, kimbap, eggrolls, Pão de queijo, jalapeno ranch dip, some kind of Midwestern US savory jello-based monstrosity, and more I couldn't even get to. Incredible spread.

The state of my social media engagement, circa 2024
Mastodon screenshot Andrew McNeely: How does one get started on blue sky, or what other platforms would others recommend? 
One thing I am reminded of between now and 2016 is how my Twitter network was helpful in maintaining support and reassurance that I was not going insane in a void. I feel I will need that in the coming years, and mastodon hasn't really filled out to meet the need (or I never figured it out, also possible). Any suggestions? Other mastodon user: First you put your trust in the crypto bros again and then you wait for the rug pull as they sell out to another crank billionaire. Andrew McNeely: well, that's a plan at least
