He really, really, really wants to be cool. Alas.

Nitpicking of course, but I want to add a layer to your analysis: anyone who calls *you* by your first name and no appropriate title, but then signs their missives with their title...just another way to be insulting for no reason whatsoever than brutality.

I think I like the notion that we could ALL be 'probably' (fill in the age) and therefore more mysterious.

Wasn’t it the point to provide alternate income (and hefty, judging from the scuttlebut about signing bonuses and salaries) to people who had lost jobs because they *were* in prison for killing cops and smearing crap in a federal lawmaking building? Next to no training needed for demonstrated thugs.

It is definitely a threat of violence.

Happy to have seen my game planned for use in the wild...and for 'wild,' read 'used at a gaming/education conference. schedule.sxswedu.com/events/PP114...

How did I know that this kind of information was eventually forthcoming? What prior experience would forecast this inevitability? 🤨

I just look at these clips on mute and get more than a little freaked out over the glint in her eyes. Something’s not quite there.

LMK when the spouses and family members of ICE abductees are given a ton of time on (very well lit and staged) major network tv to give us the heavy, deep and real on their irrevocably changed lives. Until then...

Also, as an academician, I take extreme offense on her behalf at this notion that she is doing anything other than (deftly) chronicling, drawing important relationships between past and present, and helping fellow citizens discern and find meaning.

As a former department chair, I would concur, typically. Almost 30 yrs in this business, however, and the ‘you have a (sexual harassment, compliance, cyber security, FERPA, name it) training to complete by a deadline way in the future’ emails just get buried and overlooked.

Guilty as charged (on failing to read, or as bad: scanning poorly). Can I lay partial blame on being saddled with three 34-to-a-roster online classes, three more 25-to-a-roster online classes, and about 20 hours a week teaching online high school? Adjunct life.

Generally speaking, publicly issuing direct insults to others who ask you a question will get you fired from the job.

What I can’t unsee is how the shirt is a) really thin, and b) I think that because it looks as if he has no undershirt on (his skin tone directly underneath changes the tone of the shirt AND every fold, bump and bulge in the abdominal area is ultra visible).

Can you maybe revise how you put this? The CDC is not lying. The CDC is being subjected to terrible liars who have infiltrated it.

It was never a matter of her (professional) qualifications. It was always a matter of her *other* 'qualifications.'

GROSS

This is an eloquent and precise assessment.

Too much topical serum, not enough truth serum.

The 'formerly current (or currently former?)' East Wing was built in the 1940s under Eisenhower. While I am an art historian, I would still totally defer to architects/architectural historians/preservationists on the asbestos question. I'm just responding to the 'over 100 years old' part.

I think that there is circumspect lurking around this. Everyone has become afraid of telling the truth.

I did remember, looked it up to see which wing he walked. It was the West.

Oh, so what those ‘boys’ were doing in their Young Repub chats was exercising their ‘fresh mouths’?

OK, but this only works if the nail is of a certain minimum length. A shorter one will not work that way.

Oh yes

A consequence of never asking a leader to confront the ramifications of their hasty decisions IN REAL TIME is that there is *now* a rush to solve the problem of bulging silos. Farmers sounded alarms weeks ago.

You know there are workarounds to the scrip requirement, right? Go to a Minute Clinic (CVS) or to the Health Dept. Your experience is that the pharmacist will of course require a scrip. At a clinic or health dept, the MD on site prescribes AND jabs.
