Longanisa Cheese Curd Lumpia Lumpia City • West side of Liggett St. between Carnes and Judson Avs. The Filipino spring roll, lumpia, gets the fair treatment with the logical addition of cheese curds in that crispy wrapper. Wisconsin curds are stuffed inside, along with garlic and Filipino longanisa pork sausage. Sweet chili sauce comes on the side for dipping.

Liz @lizbarr.bsky.social • 3h My dad has a SCHISM GROUP CHAT which includes two priests and an Opus Dei layman, and they are watching all this with SCHADENFREUDE, but also congratulating themselves on just being cool and normal Latin Mass dabblers. Claire Willett @clairewillett.bsky.social • 3h your dad rolls with Opus Dei???? are they worried they might be next????? can you ask and then report back Liz @lizbarr.bsky.social • 3h OH I ASKED! They are NOT worried, he was shocked when I suggested it. I told him about the Pope meeting with Gore, and he was amazed — is off to read Gore's book. Opus Dei and the SSPX have beef, which is hilaaaaaarious. benhosp.bsky.social @benhosp.bsky.social • 3h So does Opus Dei think of themselves as more of a "loyal opposition" than SSPX? ... Liz @lizbarr.bsky.social THEY DO! But my dad's friends think the institutional problems in OD are purely because of The Spanish. (Context: we are Australian.)

Okay, stick with me for a minute because this story ends with an absurd basketball statistic. There’s a WWE wrestler named Danhausen. He’s a comedy guy who has the canonical power to curse people with his supernatural powers. For some reason, he is incredibly popular. ESPN signed a deal to show big WWE events on the ESPN app, so they’ve been doing a lot of cross-promotion. This somehow included Danhausen going on ESPN and arguing with Stephen A. Smith about the Knicks. During the argument, Danhausen cursed the Knicks, who then lost two games to Atlanta by a combined two points. A random Knicks fan then paid Danhausen to make a Cameo in which he uncurses the Knicks. THE KNICKS ARE AN UNDEFEATED 12-0 SINCE DANHAUSEN UNCURSED THE KNICKS.

A Lego Game Boy. In the screen is a greenish, pixelated image of a boy and a girls sitting on a log, flanked by palm trees on the beach. They have their back to the screen and are staring out into the sea wistfully. There are gulls overhead in the distance in front of large, billowing clouds.

An excerpt from an AAC&U email about their new report with the last bullet highlighted: The report highlights several findings: • many institutions are still developing comprehensive strategies and governance structures for emerging technologies; • faculty development and cross-campus collaboration are central to successful technology integration efforts; • institutional culture, leadership support, and shared vision strongly influence implementation and adoption; • concerns about equity, ethics, and student learning continue to shape conversations about Al and emerging technologies; and • institutions are seeking approaches that balance innovation with mission, educational quality, and student success.
