Looks like the Hitler Youth hacked UPenn's systems because I just received this email (despite not being connected to Penn)

The $75-million Student Performing Arts Center is now above ground at 33rd & Woodlands Walk on UPenn's campus (photo is from a few months back). This will feature a 300-seat theater, rehearsal space, and more, bringing many performance arts groups under one roof. Thoughts?

UPenn’s president just lost her job because she willfully walked into an idiotic trap laid out by Republicans to make any support for Palestine on college campuses look like unabashed anti-Semitism.

UPenn or Penn State?

I'll be speaking at UPenn's Annenberg School on December 2nd, happy to chat with her

Lawyers will still be needed, it's just going to be much more challenging than baseline

I got a daughter at penn thinking of law school after undergrad. Thinking of discussing that with her in the context of a federal judiciary full of lifetime maga judges. How much good could she do or better leverage in other professions?

We have @jakewittich.bsky.social from @windycitytimes.com for the entire hour today! We're talking about his reporting on how Trans Up Front is changing Illinois; Rep. Greg Harris was honored for decades of LGBTQ+ advocacy. Plus, we talk about the Big Ugly Bill and UPenn’s humiliation.

While I was on a dig in Amman in 1987, my dig director, UPenn's Pat McGovern, had to return a car to a rental agency near the airport. The car was a manual transmission and nobody in our crew knew how to drive one except him—and me. So I got the task of following him in this car to the airport.

I'm sure it's a fine institution, but I must say I'm a little skeptical about the rigor of UPenn's Economics program that awarded both Elon and Donald a bachelor's degree. Their understanding of economics outside of their niche business areas seems about on par with a pygmy hippo's, maybe worse.

I would be curious to know how this affects you UPenn’s fundraising. Are any journalist tracking this?

Remember when @fetterman.senate.gov said he’d protect trans people and then collaborated with the folks who cut UPenn’s funding because of trans athletes? I do. His number is 202-224-4254, but the big coward never has staff answer the phones. Big man on X, scaredy cat in real life.

I was wondering why these images from MS LJS 62 at UPenn's Kislak Center didn't seem familiar to me, as I thought I knew all their medical MSS. The answer? It's Greek, not a language I research in. Thanks for flagging this & including the link @klostermedizin.de! #MedievalSky
15th century images of Dioscorides and Galen.

what does it take to win a performative male contest? multiple labubu keychains, tampons, and having a passing knowledge of what an OB-GYN does.

i wrote about upenn’s performative male contest for @inquirer.com. (🎁 link.)
Matcha lattes, tote bags, and half-read Jane Austen: Penn students crown Philly’s most ‘performative male’
More than 100 onlookers turned out to watch the competition organized by 34th Street Magazine, where competitors were asked to answer trivia about the female experience. Not everyone excelled.

Got this reassembled for display today after salvaging it from UPenn’s Annenberg Center last year. The soundhead, lamp, and rectifier are basically brand new. Maybe they’ll end up back in a booth one day…

This statement is UPenn’s way of saying “No matter which of our host countries commits genocide, we won’t feel obligated to comment, or interrupt our regularly scheduled ‘cultural exchange’ asskissing.”

1995: demoted by UPenn.
2013: "They [UPenn] told me that they’d had a meeting and concluded that I was not of faculty quality,” she said. ”When I told them I was leaving, they laughed at me and said, ‘BioNTech doesn’t even have a website.’”" OMG UPenn's president...
