As we say "What" 20 years later.

Or we chanted "Cm Punk" for 10 years at WWE.

We got this RCT with null results in @herdjournal.bsky.social a few years ago.

The reviewers were super fair to us and we've had a real hard time getting any follow ups published. We have a power issue which we discuss and other issues beyond our control.

She knows what she is.. no amount of shame is gonna do shit to this person. It's why she's part of the administration.

Anyone still part of this admin is unsalvageable and unfit for society.

Above my pay grade friend, I have no idea. I just know that the university says, "Upper admins have decided X and now you're gonna have to learn Y - and expect fuck ups as it happens."

In a few years we'll pay ungodly sums to migrate to a new shitty software suite anyways

My university just transitioned to Oracle and it's going about as stupidly as you'd imagine.

If another professor from the outside wants to challenge one from inside, if the outsider wins... they get the job and resources.

If it is two internal professors - the loser's dept doesn't get the TT line refilled for 2 years + can't hire adjuncts in that timeframe.

Make sure it's needed.

This new civic engagement standard, let's give it a try.

Turn the Ohio State into Thunderdome.

Two professors enter, one professor leaves.

Biden Didnโ€™t Cause the Border Crisis, Part 1: Summary From his administrationโ€™s first day in January 2021, Biden actually increased border enforcementโ€”arrests, detentions, and removals of border crossers all increased. The prevailing narrative that blame...

How am I supposed to live in a world with Cato sounds entirely reasonable now?

Hertiage went fill Nazis should be heard out and Cato went, "Um, we should pull back and be more evenhanded with our analyses but still remain conservative in nature."

Idk if that would work well enough.

But I have zero clue about any of this stuff, I do know if we don't have something - we need to make something that:

1. Limits pardon powers of the President, Trump has totally ruined that.

2. Congress can overturn a preemptive to conviction pardon.

Idk

We all know that DJT is going to just pardon them and I am not sure we have a mechanism to deal with that?

Is there any way to void a presidential pardon?

The provost has recommended tenure and promotion.

Which, yea - I had zero concerns about that.

Now, do I get tenure before TN strips it away officially or no?

Do I still get my rank and pay raise if not?

Am I on only annual contracts moving forward?

Will I put up with any of that shit?

Nope!

Exactly... Just another way to introduce a lot of distrust into the system.

And the admins of UNC are gonna turn that university into a steaming pile of shit when nobody wants to go there from here on out.

We can have accountability and not have to do it in secret, that's a real choice.

UNC crushing it with being an absolute dick to faculty.

Not even in corporate America, in my exp and I was the guy hired to clean things up, did we do this shit - we were above board about stuff like this. We didn't want to kill morale.

I get it Ricky Martin was entirely too sexy and some members of the GOP had those usual feelings bubble up - and had to text their accountability buddy Mike Johnson, who was already texting his (his son).

I also have a STRONG belief that many people who once voted for Bill Clinton also voted for Trump multiple times - but I have not seen research on that.

If anyone knows of some, link it here.

Sitting peeps this morning who I know voted for Trump they decided to talk about Epstein and the Clintons.

To their faces I said, "Ye people gonna have to get real comfortable with the fact they voted for a likely pedo this last election, knowingly voted for a convicted adult rapist."

Convo over.
