"Huge crowd last night at the service at the UW Madison tent encampment (liberated zone)! Organized by a group of students. Very moving! And a quick transition afterwards in time for the Muslim call for prayer in the same space, beautiful!"

As an alumnus of the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I'm actually a bit disappointed that there don't seem to be any pro-Palestinian protests here.

UW-Madison has a long and proud tradition of protest, some of which got out of hand:

I'm not entirely supportive of these current protests, but it seems not in keeping with UW's traditions and ethos to not at least have at least a little bit of rabble-rousing.

I am excited to announce that I will be joining the University of Wisconsin-Madison's iSchool in the fall to pursue my PhD in Information Science, where I plan to research cybersecurity!

I'm looking forward to moving to Madison Wisconsin for the next chapter of my education!

I’m jealous of this lecture hall. Everyone I had classes in sported the rigid wooden ones from the first half of the 20th century! Every single one!

Taking the family to a physics program on campus today. I was talking to my wife a few weeks ago about how we don't take more advantage of the university's offerings, and then this was recommended to her. Should be cool! And we'll get some Babcock Ice Cream afterwards!

I love any video that makes me want to (1) go make some art and (2) learn some math or physics!

If you work for the state of (like me here at ), consider signing this petition to get our pension fund to divest from fossil fuels: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/divest-wi-retirement-system-from-fossil-fuels/?

Even if you're not a goofy hippie who cares about the planet, SWIB has lost us all money by keeping money in fossil fuels, and that's just foolish: https://www.climatesafepensionswisconsin.org/waterlooreport

You win some, you lose some. TBH, we lose in an embarrassing fashion to Northwestern all the time.

Thanks, Gov Evers, for saying it like it is:

Wisconsin vs. Iowa spread: Wisconsin -10. Wisconsin vs. Iowa over/under: 34.5 points.

IDK, I think I'd bet the under.
