Oh look, Wisconsin football shitting the bed again…

#CFB #UWMadison #OnWisconsin #Badgers

Summer-like weather is lingering late in the season. Let's see if we can get one last outdoor gathering in this year! We'll have a social at Olbrich Biergarten next month. There'll be craft beers, N.A. options, snacks, and a beautiful view of the #MadisonWI skyline from across the lake. Please join us!

In case the Biergarten is closed (eg., for rain), we'll relocate to the nearby Muskellounge

Neil Kraus on UW-Madison's AI obsession: https://tonemadison.com/articles/ever-expanding-ai-continues-to-invade-higher-education/

"The corporate AI-is-everything-in-education policy comes to the rescue, providing cover for the UW to refocus the larger conversation where it wants—on the uncritical embrace of any and all technology over all else as it slowly and systematically dismantles our campuses. "

Tone Madison
Twenty years ago today, I shot this clip of Of Montreal playing at Club 770 at the original Union South in #Madison. This was just after they released the second of back-to-back superb albums and established themselves atop the mid-00s #indiepop scene. MGMT provided a weird opening set, a few years before their big breakout. No ticket stub because it was a free show, but I do have a picture of my wife chilling out between sets.

The Thai Pavilion was a gift from the Thailand chapter of the Wisconsin Alumni Association to #UWMadison in 2002. It is one of the main features at #OlbrichBotanicalGardens and you can see why!

My dream is to have a tea party under it. Just me and my friends gossiping about our lives and complaining about the sun while sitting in the shade and surrounded by water lilies.
