84 in Michigan today. Unacceptable.

Wonder if I can get my money back?

That world was particularly fervid at Chicago in the late 80s (no surprise).

Least surprising news of the week.

Finally they’re saying the quiet part out loud.

Abysmal

Don't freak out!

IU should have tried to score 90.

IL coach Bret Bielema was "at a loss for words" after the Illini's most-lopsided loss as a ranked team in the AP Poll era.

"I've never been a part of anything like that," Bielema said.

Well, yeah you have, Bret. 2010, remember? You were just on the other side of it. How does this side taste? #iufb

Does he ever. Those are some nice throws that are getting dropped.

What's cool is that is exactly the comparison people were making in 1992 when "A River Runs Through It" came out (directed by Robert Redford, starring Brad Pitt).

Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020 A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Hey guys!! I did it! I fixed the tenure & promotion process!

Where’s the Citizens United crowd now?

NB: A couple years ago J. Crew brought out a “giant fit” men’s Oxford shirt that is the most pitch-perfect 90s throwback I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve bought at least 8 of them.

Josh Heupel—what an absolute idiot.

That Evanescence show is wonderfully batty. Meanwhile, this Saturday in Ann Arbor you'll be able to hear songs from "Wicked"...

They are having a blast! I know that DCI is a different thing that marching band, but it's sad that they always seem so uptight.

Ohhh that low brass is good. I wish Michigan's marching band could manage to look like it was having even a fraction as much fun as these kids.

Yeah, you really need something that's designed to carry some weight. We just got a little replica tabletop Albion that we're going to get fixed up.

Those tool carts are perfect for non-book items--we've got our tabletop printing press on one. It's also probably about 1/3 the price of a rolling library cart with shelves.

It is a very nice cart. One thing I am still shocked by after 5+ years in my job is how insanely expensive book carts are.

Welcome, Purple Jesus!

Umm, what's that now? Weigh-ins at the Lincoln Memorial??
