I loved Capaldi as the Doctor, but it wasn't until Bill was his companion that he started getting good scripts.

For this administration this is a win-win-win. Fewer universities, fewer foreigners in the US, and fewer American college students. We know less about the outside world, and they know less about us.

"People will always need tulips!"

This is the predictable consequence of having a needy, simpleminded president who spends most of the day watching TV in hopes of being unjustifiably flattered because those are the only people he will reward.

I love this idea so much I want to marry it and have its babies.

I knew you were going to say that! It was foreseen!!!

no argument from me

That's well outside of what NSA does. Dubious,. VERY dubious.

Robot vacuum cleaner trained to dodge pet faeces Owners have previously documented robots mindlessly spreading excrement as they "clean".

Remember the stories about Roomba's running over dog poop on the floor and spreading it around the house?? Seems relevant somehow.

They knew where to find the greatest concentration of gullible fools, in a republican party that had marinated in RW hate radio and Faux "News" for years. With a little help from the far left Jill Stein tankies.

good comparison

Everything trump touches, dies.

As someone who worked for years, and learned so much from doing so, on the NOVA series, produced by WGBH for PBS...I can't believe that we are throwing away so much of our vital cultural capital.

We are led by nihilist morons.

Please note: I am not saying I disagree either. It's just that I need to think more about it before making a judgment.

Thoughts While Visiting the U.S. National World War I Memorial The other day I went and stood in front of the new section of the World War I memorial in Washington, DC and looked at it. Memorials are meant to make you feel something. I felt nothing. I felt not…

I am not a vet, let alone a combat vet, but I found this essay about the new WWI memorial thought-provoking. I am not sure I concur, but I agree 100% that the Vietnam and Korean War memorials are much more moving and meaningful. @pptsapper.bsky.social #WWI 🗃️

100 years ago, they came for UNC-Chapel Hill.

They accused it of teaching evolution, non-heroic US history, and anti-racism. They threatened its budget.

Pres. Harry Chase fought back and won. He told voters that if they wanted a “real university,” there could be no ideological control.

Really worth a read:

I did enjoy it once, when a pretty woman sat in the back row, and, instead of taking notes, winked at me, made kissy faces, and kept grinning. It was my wife, sitting in my class because it was my birthday and she was taking me to lunch afterwards. CONSENT makes all the difference in the world!

It was. I also got a set of very nice steak knives.

My apologies for ignoring Lectern-Americans. 😉 I am obviously on the payroll of Big Podium. :)😊

Only if you filed a police report. :)

23. But I only count 14. Four (4) I visited at a conference or convention, but didn't wander outside of the meeting area. Five (5) I visited as a kid, but couldn't really see much of the city. Five of the 23 I have visited more than 5 times. I have visited 3 more than 10 times, and live in 1. ;)

To quote from Glass Onion (the movie, not the Beatles song).
Birdie Jay: It's so dumb, it's brilliant!
Benoit Blanc: NO! It's just dumb!

"You should be flattered!!" (sarcasm) I can't even imagine how uncomfortable I'd be standing in front of a classroom, knowing a student was ogling me. I think I'd sit behind a desk, or stand behind the podium the entire time, trying NOT to make eye contact with the ogling student.

And I know it's even worse for profs who are not old white guys. Gad. What an awful way to evaluate profs.

and scores for women were often higher than those for men. That was a relief, but the accusation is out there now for the world to see. I filed a complaint with "Rate Your", and they removed the offending evaluation. But AI still repeats it.

The AI summary of me still says that I am sexist for grading females harder than males. To make sure I wasn't doing this subconsciously, I checked the grades over the past several years on objective assignments such as term papers and essay tests. There was no statistically significant difference..

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.
