Trump can't stand the fact that Ilhan Omar is good looking.

Yay freezing rain !!!!!!!!!!!

Weather App roulette: the iPhone weather app says 5 inches of snow tomorrow. Wunderground says freezing rain. The bullet is in the chamber. Will the school bus come?

its cyber monday and nobody has asked me to cyber even once.

is there a word for the fiction created by a professor and her student when they spend an hour discussing a most-likely-written-by-chatGPT? am I just giving the AI better prompts?

Where is the university “settlement” money going? Who is the check made out to? What happens after deposit?

It’s clear that university administrations view “no confidence” or oppositional votes from faculty as the mark of a job well done.

I’m an N of one but my Costco today was less busy than any given Sunday.

so much of what we have known as the United States has been shaped by the presence of an ideological and geopolitical threat from the left. without that, what are we?

Sucks that Bari Weiss has to give Jewish controlled media such a bad rep.

This is spot-on. The UVA "deal" might be the worst/most dangerous (so far). With the help of UVA's leadership, Trump coerced a leading U.S. university to foreswear all efforts (including 100% lawful measures) to achieve diversity. A betrayal of our values. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Bad day for smokin hot lawyers

Romance!

All I can say is that I’m never marrying a woman astronaut.

um, what? this is clearly teams and not excel....

is anyone else finding that MS word is inexplicably inserting a space between paragraphs. why?

I'm so confused. Am I opting into or out of these "services." I try both ways and I keep getting the same AI results at the top of my searches...

Harvard University has quietly amassed nearly 1 million Israeli items – from phone books to military broadcasts – as a backup in case Israel ceases to exist www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

HR emails are the most satisfying to delete.

I hate to brag but I just successfully created a personal digital certificate.

Plessy-grade gaslighting

The moon rules.

this "skepticism" can also be read as republican partisanship. these tariffs are bad for the party.

To understand what was at stake here: in VA, the AG gets to appoint university counsel. From Jim Ryan’s forced resignation to the (mercifully) reject “Compact” to the odious and bizarre “settlement,” UVA has been hamstrung by counsel chosen by the state’s GOP administration. That’s about to change.

our Bosch dishwasher is broken and ive called 3 places so far this morning. how is it that none of them service this very common brand?!

the real attack were all the alerts we made along the way.

"At this time there is no evidence of an attacker." I'll just continue to run-hide-fight as usual then.

"Run-Hide-Fight", really? Should I really fight?

sleep well my sweet angel

What religion is this:

Can anyone recommend a memoir that discusses the experience of a high on quaaludes?

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

why is word adding spaces between my paragraphs these days.

From that terrible Mamdani article. The idea that the "studies programs" which--which are being shuttered with each passing day--are "highly influential" is beyond parody.

👀 The right wing Harvard Salient published an article stating “Germany belongs to the Germans, France to the French, Britain to the British, America to the Americans” & calling 4 values based on “‘blood, soil, language, & love of one’s own.’” Their alumni board suspended them but they won’t obey 1/

This is A1, above the fold, huge font, “drop dead” news. Will it be covered that way?

Who is Paul budnek and why is he emailing me

the way some men sneeze is just so annoying and loud and nobody ever talks about it

How Trump silences his critics on.ft.com/4qoZJHn So critical to remember how much opposition we never see or hear because people fear reprisal

“Some”

im irrationally angry that well funded pockets of the university use eventbrite and require registration. C'mon. we don't need this commercial interface for events open to the public at a public university. let alone events about "democracy."

Also: for those who really know the history of the school, the one who’s really rolling over in their grave is not Jefferson but Edgar F. Shannon, for whom the main library was renamed last year.

who is monitoring the UVA bathrooms? maybe the same big hearted sports boosters who escort athletes between classes to make sure they get there.

My son was out sick from school Monday. No fair, my daughter said. My daughter is out sick from school today. No fair, my son said. I explained that this is a rare situation in which two no fairs do, in fact, make a fair. Except for the parents.

Current U.Va. students did not choose to attend a school that made this decision. However, anyone in the Class of 2030 or later is presumptively OK with an educational environment that is not interested in helping underrepresented minorities, or giving equal consideration to transgender students.

Honestly, remember when monuments were coming down & panels were put together to evaluate renaming, there was so much public push back. Where are all the irate "anytime you change any existing historic item you're erasing history" folks? Appearances, op-eds, protests? This is the White House. 🗃️

Unclear what the “immense pressure” that UVA faced from the Trump administration, but cutting these individual deals is an absolute disaster for higher education. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/u...
