If you live near Watertown SD, I’ll send you $100 and the thanks of a grateful nation if you send me photos of Noem getting off the plane.

Having said that, I'm effing obsessed right now with whether or not they are gonna let her fly home on that brand-new G7. (They didn't let Comey fly back on the FBI jet when he got canned.) πŸ‘€

As Clausewitz wrote, the decisive factor in war is which military leader can bench press the most.

I wonder if there is some new book marketed at Provosts promoting this "new math" theory. This is my 6th Provost. They all need to earn their own gold star. But they are doing permanent damage to the humanities and redefining what it means to be a university.

Plz share more. We just lost 20% of our TT in history (1 line not filled w a departure- we almost lost 2) based on same math. Except they didn't look at our freshmen, majors, AND grad. Instead decided our grad was in red- cuz of hiring deal now departing prof had-took line & told us to work harder.

But did they work on the shit they had stolen for thirty years? Or did they just steal it all? Serves the forkers right.

You mean they don't like having their work/intellectual property stolen? Like they stole from thousands of authors? Huh.

Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:

Dan Wilson (musician) - Wikipedia

ok so I was pushed a piece of content that I can't stop thinking about: the lead singer for Semisonic who wrote "Closing Time" went on to be an extremely prolific, successful song writer. I mean, look at this! It's crazy. So now I'm listening to a nearly 30-year old Semisonic album and it... slaps?

And if you’re wondering β€œWhy is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

Legendary founder of NPR programming Bill Siemering is enjoying Zoom visiting with students so much that he's asked me to put a second call out. No honorarium necessary. Any takers?

I am pretty well versed w ATA women. I had planned to do that as next project. Have so many great letters, oral histories, and even knew 2 of the American women. But new book just came out this year so plans sunk. Really bummed as had planned it for many, many years.

I dont know that book but will check it out! Not a bad idea for a WWII book!

Had initially planned a 1930s women pilots but stupid Keith OBrien wrote Flygirls. But maybe the barnstormer route would be another angle!

Wondering what pilots or aviation events you know or would like to know more about. More on Earhart? More modern pilots? Space? Something else? Looking for a new project and interested in what people know/dont know/want to know.

I am sure your child fully appreciated this unsolicited explanation. Or they will in about 20 years. Potential delayed parenting win.

It's wild how much the world has changed.

1992: Bill Clinton says that he tried pot once, but he didn't inhale.

2026: RFK Jr says that he snorted cocaine off of dirty toilet seats.

Has anyone broken down allow the elements? It was amazing! I am sure I missed pieces and I am teaching freshmen tomorrow and want to talk about it with them. What an opportunity to show how history can be used. Thanks in advance.

It's been a year today since we lost my beautiful mom. It's still impossible to believe we are just supposed to go on without her or Dad who we lost in 2011.
