My life is now complete — I saw Paul McCartney in concert last night in San Antonio

My summer 2026 plans were to attend men’s World Cup games in the 3 host nations. Those plans are out b/c of the FIFA grift. The scam is to offer a few tickets (low supply) when there is high demand. Hence, they inflate prices. I’ll wait until they’re stuck with overpriced tickets & cut prices

Received my copies of the 19th edition of our textbook today 🙌🏾 😊

Reminds me of 1995 & 1996 seasons.

I can’t understand why someone who only does secondary data analysis research must complete these endless research on human subjects online trainings 🤦🏾‍♂️. These trainings are causing more than minimal harm to me 😑

Yes!

Clutch victory in a must win game

It was an honor to deliver the keynote at TLC @ APSA. The photo below is from the keynote, & there are a few more in the photo recap

Join us for #SWPSA2025

Best decision I made that night was to go the marriott hotel bar to visit with some friends after a reception. We were in the bar when the alarm went off, so I was one of the fortunate ones not in pajamas as we waited around all night.

& managed to return to Houston with a 2 game division lead

😂

My colleagues & I built the greatest Learning Communities program in higher education. No campus could rival the scope of our program. A spring 2025 administrative decree ended the last vestiges of a once great program & it’s gone for fall 2025. I predict we’ll experience a ⬇️ in student success 😔

I just can’t understand these folks who enjoy faculty meetings & prolong them 😑

My mood as I attend faculty/staff meetings the week prior to the start of the semester 🤷🏾‍♂️

Perhaps add some Linz readings? 🤔

😂

A predictable choke by France

Felicidades

As the panel ended, I found the early career scholar & told them I thought that was terrible advice, & the research method they used was appropriate for the research question.

I was a conference & an early career scholar used logistic regression. The discussant told them that they needed to use a more advanced method, not because it was better at answering the research question, but b/c they needed to if they wanted publication in a good journal 🤦🏾‍♂️.

I’m old school & will continue with tables as long as possible

i keep telling my students we professors also make errors like this

With all that’s going on, I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to spring break as much as this year.

Terrible news.
