Last night we saw a very … multifaceted … film premiere for Titane - it’s up for the Palme d’Or: hollywoodreporter.com/movies…)
Agencies are thinking differently about how they buy, build, and implement tech tools - which starts and ends with civil servants. But gov still hires civil servants for tech jobs of 20 years ago vs for the skills of today (the IT jobs classification was last updated in 2001) 2/
This is an extraordinary honor and I'm humbled to be among those receiving it. I spent 7 great years at @uiowa, first at @UIOWA_SJMC (+ @TheDailyIowan!) and then @IowaLawSchool. It's a joy to keep visiting Iowa City to continue learning from students and faculty. Thank you!
Since 1963, @uiowa has honored world-changing Hawkeyes with Distinguished Alumni Awards. This fall, six new luminaries received the university’s top alumni honor.

Scabs are workers who get paid for filling union jobs while workers strike. By any account, current gov employees are not on strike, but they are overwhelmed and underresourced - now, and always. And they’re asking for pro bono help to address immediate needs. 3/
I don’t have to tell @hunter_owens that current government rules and systems aren’t designed to let staff flex in an emergency - to quickly hire extra humans to augment teams, to quickly contract for tools to help them with unforeseen needs. 4/

At the same time, the bars in my neighborhood including @thepugdc @HStCountryClub @copycat_co are not only open, but appear to be crowded.
To the crowded bars and patrons: You will never be able to take back the damage you’re doing. Please, go home.
