Hello, I’m Dr Wally.
I believe humanity is one of the universe’s most fascinating experiments — and it’s up to us whether it continues.
I post reminders that we’re all in this together. #HumanTogether

Not usually one to ask—but if reasoned conversation and staying human matter to you, a follow would help push me past 400.
Grateful for this community.

Today is HumanLight Day. Happy that!
A reminder that reason, compassion, and shared humanity still matter—especially when things feel dark.
Sometimes the light is just people choosing to stay human.

Coolest new thing I learned in the world today. The kicker for the Los Angeles Rams is the size of a defensive lineman and wears number 92. My brain refused to accept this for several minutes.

Syllabi at public institutions probably ought to be public. Taxpayers fund the work, and students deserve transparency. The problem is when the loudest megaphones with the deepest pockets (and often the least expertise) get to judge that plan. Thats just anti-intellectualism.

When Everyone Can See Your Syllabus
More states are requiring public colleges to make class syllabi available to the masses. Proponents say these measures boost higher ed’s credibility, while faculty fear being targeted.

It’s striking how the world’s harshness has followed us into the college classroom. I see young faculty and grad instructors lose their jobs after a single misstep…when these moments should still be part of their development. Surprised anyone even wants to join this profession now. #HumanTogether

Can someone please explain this to me? Last night it was 7° here. I left two half-consumed bottles of soda outside in my car. This morning I found the Diet Coke was frozen solid. The Diet Pepsi didn’t have a single ice crystal. WTH?

In conversations with professor colleagues about AI and writing, I’m struck by how the debate stays stuck on banning vs allowing. That framing is already obsolete. The essential skill now is human oversight: knowing when to use it, how to interrogate it, and owning the outcome.

Higher ed in America has become a pretty terrible career path. If you’re not battling enrollment cliffs, you’re being extorted by the feds; if you’re not disrespected by anti-intellectualism, you’re getting canceled by your own students. Feels like the whole venture is bleeding out. #HumanTogether
