Seeing John Goodman trending, and just figured I would note his portrayal of Dan Connor is, to me, one of the more underrated TV dads, and I feel pretty good about getting to see him do it well *twice* and show us different stages of an average guy's life, making it work.

Further reason why student media matters.
@meganmmenchaca
Same problem in Louisiana. We have… two (?) higher ed reporters in the state, and one only covers two campuses. Louisiana has the only HBCU system in the country, in addition to three other systems. We can’t keep up. It stings to see SO many articles about the Harvard thing.
