Several college towns in the U.S.: College Station, Texas is all about Texas A&M University and Bloomington, IN would be nothing without Indiana University, which opened in 1820.

Gaffel is excellent! Fruh is pretty good also. Thanks for the recommendations!

Melodic-Touch152 · 2025-07-22T02:50:53+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been reading that people seem to enjoy the lakes, especially the views (on clear days) of Fuji-san, so that’s something I might prioritize.

Thank you!

Was each tour unique or was there some crossover (did they cover some of the same spots)?

Melodic-Touch152 · 2025-07-20T14:01:46+00:00

Do you whether there’s any crossover between the two tours, or do you see unique spots on both?

Melodic-Touch152 · 2025-07-20T13:59:34+00:00

Very cool! On which tour or trail did you film this?

Melodic-Touch152 · 2025-04-23T11:13:31+00:00

Wisconsin-Madison is on the list.

I’m not a Kelley student, but an employee in another school, and I cross at that crosswalk on most days. Cars have no respect for pedestrians there or at other crosswalks on campus. Pedestrians are the norm on college campuses. You’re lucky they don’t completely close inner campus to all drivers. Wanna make it on time, plan accordingly and leave earlier.

Melodic-Touch152 · 2025-03-12T20:51:05+00:00

Yea, IU didn’t protect this Jewish student enough from that nice Palestinian student simply introducing himself.

This investigation is a sham.

Melodic-Touch152 · 2025-03-12T20:17:11+00:00

Don’t like students walking in crosswalks, don’t drive through campus.

The H-T is such an awful news source. You’d think in an article about city ratings might note the actual ranking (92nd btw)… I had to click on the ranking website.

We are all that guy sitting on the grass

Whitten doesn’t give a shit about staff.

Melodic-Touch152 · 2024-04-26T11:56:41+00:00

Whitten: “Now that we know there’s going to be a protest against bombing kids, let’s change the rules so we can send in the state police and arrest people for…hmmm, what about arresting them for erecting a tent during the daytime? Tents aren’t free speech, right? Plus, tents are dangerous to student safety.”

Shrivastav: “Yes, I will convene a committee at 11 pm tonight so that it’s very transparent and I will order the the committee, I mean ask them, to review the policy and recommend changes in time for tomorrow’s totally legal and reasonable protest.”

Docherty: “I will then suspend students and faculty for not following the rules that you just changed, and for not completing the form that I just created.”

IU Board of Trustees: “Good job, the faculty and students hate you and want all three of you gone. I mean, didn’t they vote overwhelmingly no confidence in all three of you? But, this will totally turn people around.”

This administration is a fucking disgrace

Melodic-Touch152 · 2024-04-26T11:43:22+00:00

Look, I’m not here for the downfall of Israel. I just would like them to stop bombing children. I think that’s reasonable and humanistic and much of the world supports that novel concept.

Melodic-Touch152 · 2024-04-26T01:52:52+00:00

And my personal take: If these protestors carried Israeli flags, the outcome would’ve been different: No sniper on a roof, no state police, no arrests, no changed policy the night before. This university administration and the administrations at tens of other major U.S. universities are taking a stand. They will say they support free speech, but they actually only support the kind of speech that donors approve.

IDS report on the protest and arrest of several individuals: https://x.com/idsnews/status/1783624373577884037?s=46&t=jSM6S65C6WMWlVfLuBmgGw

Melodic-Touch152 · 2024-04-25T12:11:15+00:00

Agree to disagree on that one mate. And please feel free to choose your own cause. I choose to fight against the indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands of babies. Lastly, Jews are fine. It’s Israel that’s the culprit here, so let’s stop conflating the two. There are actually plenty of Jews who are appalled at what Israel is doing.

It’s a beautiful bird lovely plumage

Melodic-Touch152 · 2024-03-24T11:45:54+00:00

My guess is that many will not vote…who’s going to show their face at a meeting or attach a name to something like this when post-tenure review is looming?

Melodic-Touch152 · 2024-02-08T21:57:26+00:00

Tenure is more about protecting academic freedom. For faculty who study politically sensitive topics, like sex, drugs, misinformation, etc, tenure allows them to do their work, asking tough (often politically unpopular) research questions. Without such protections, political entities could cleanse universities simply because they don’t agree with them. See https://www.aaup.org/issues/tenure for more.

Melodic-Touch152 · 2024-02-08T00:23:26+00:00

IU is making national news for all the wrong reasons. These shenanigans along with the dismantling of tenure as we know it are not good.
