Great look at an excellent Macalester day. #heymac
Bob Mould got an honorary degree today from Macalester College. He also delivered the commencement speech and told the students to "always use your bullshit detector.”

I had no idea! #heymac
But I am 100% certain this is the first time the two largest stories at any metropolitan newspaper sports section have been about women’s sports *and* written by a current Macalester College student.

Solidarity to a comrade. May her friends and family remember the fond things, and draw inspiration from her commitment to those around her.

At "Why major/minor in English?" event last night, 4 current majors were eloquent, charming, incisive & practical about why this study matters so much to them personally now & how they're getting incredible internships & insights about its value to their futures. The humanities matter y'all. #HeyMac

Across the street from Macalester. #HeyMac
CONFIRMED:

Earlier today Don Lemon reported a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, MN where they said pastor David Easterwood is Acting Director of the ICE Field Office.

They were 100% right.

Let’s go Macalester Religious Studies #heymac

“Mr. Davis, a religious studies professor at Macalester College in St. Paul, told the judge, ‘I looked through the indictment at all the things that include my name, and I seem to be indicted for holding meetings.’”

Macalester grads who got their Macalester Today in the mail today and are feeling a little down, Paul Krugman has your back. #HeyMac
If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

#BobMould getting me all weepy during his commencement address at Macalester College. You did a great job, Bob. Thank you and #AmyKlobuchar for making this one special. #heymac

If you have been wondering what the Large Pile Of Dirt outside the Leonard Center at Macalester is going to become, I am told it will be a huge Highland Cow statue, done by the same artist who did the #MNUFC Loon (D. Loon). #heymac

I have not yet seen a commitment on this point from Mac to memorialize the founding of Hüsker Dü on the site of its new Welcome Center and so I urge alums to push for it. #heymac
So Cheapo Records was originally at 1677 Grand Avenue (Grand & Macalester Street, basically). This is also where Husker Du formed, more or less (see www.thirdav.com/hddb.shtml).

To sculpt the discussion, I found myself reading and re-reading Goethe’s Schriften zur Naturwissenschaft, working to understand his philosophy on scientific inquiry. It was an enjoyable change of pace from my entomological work, and also a nostalgic revival of my German Studies BA ( #heymac !✨). 7/

@henningo.com has suggested that I print this spreadsheet out in roughly 4-point type, print t-shirts, and sell it at next year’s @macalestercollege.bsky.social Springfest #heymac
Macalester's Springfest 2025 lineup has been announced and so the spreadsheet I for some reason* created last winter has been updated with the bands: Skaiwater, Laundry Day, Hareth, and Whistler Twisted Scribes.

*the reason was probably moderate work/layoff-related depression

The earliest reference to @macalestercollege.bsky.social appears to be August 1873, indicating that Jesus College would, I guess, become Mac, with Minneapolis receiving the bare majority of trustees. #heymac

A year later, Husker Du was playing the Union basement and got a two-page spread in the Weekly.

Later references appear to be all after Bob left Mac. #heymac
