A crazy thing about all this is UMN saw what cuts like this did to the UW system and benefitted from being the upper midwest public university that was still well funded

Excellent social event for our union local last night. First time we've ever put on something like this. Signed up new members, made connections, met members of other locals, even had an AFSCME spouse of a new recruit clapping and fist raising. Higher educators are building something in SEWI!

I've been looking at a lot of errata lately. There is so much variation in how they are presented, laid out, how the type appears and has aged through the years, scans, etc. Lots of born-digital variety too. I've been making prints but have also done a site: thedanmartin.github.io/erratum-rand...

Excellent thread that should inspire others to get out and start talking to colleagues. It's been amazing to learn about what others are reading, studying, and making through having organizing conversations.

I don’t really understand the point of this, but the part at the end where they run to a wall and fall over and guys haul them off on stretchers felt like some sort of metaphor.

I gave a period of my intro digital arts studio to an AI discussion. Gave them a vaguely anti-AI article + a vaguely pro-AI article. Everyone read, discussed in groups, and reported back. Consensus was hugely anti- except most agreed they liked Grammarly. Maybe not surprising for a studio course.

Apologies if my reports from northern Wisconsin are getting old, @jeffsharlet.bsky.social but today, passing through Vilas County, I saw a sign that read "Trump 2024 - No Wars." The irony is overwhelming.

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

Always kinda blows my mind that Kwik Trip, of all evil oil and gas companies, has this genius UX design element on their pumps, a mute button for the screen blaring ads. Wisconsin can be proud of this, at the very least.

The things one sees when walking one's dog along Lake Michigan. I wouldn't be enthusiastic about being out in open water in this thing, even if it wasn't currently swamped on the beach. It would probably also make a good album cover for some sad bastard inde folk band…

Question for graphic, interaction, web & app #design professionals/instructors. Do you think it's relevant to teach undergrads #HTML, #CSS, and #JavaScript in today's world of #Figma and other popular prototyping tools? Not sure what kind of response I'll get, but I am genuinely curious.
