Big Island you must go to Volcanoes National Park. Maui had great snorkeling. We are taking E to Big Island this summer, I’ll find my list of what we’re planning.

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.

There was a new sign:

"This sleeping willow is full."

And a map of other locations to try.

Once had a student who had no hope of passing and who hadn’t been showing up to class come for the final exam. It took everything in my power no not blurt β€œyou gotta be kidding β€œ.

I mean, seriously, I cannot fathom the train of thought that led to this.

GW sold Virginia campus for $427 million to Amazon for data center development The deal transfers all of GW’s roughly 122 acres of property in Loudoun County, Virginia, to ADS for $427,299,350 β€” roughly $3.5 million an acre β€” according to real estate records.

That story broken is here, and people should be outraged at what it's reporting. 2/

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

Please vote No on Bradford Wilson for Archivist Text SIGN PZNQUO to 50409 β€” Please vote No on Bradford P. Wilson for the next Archivist of the United States. Wilson fails the statutory requirement that "The Archivist shall be appointed without regard to political affiliations and solely on the basis of the professional qualifications required to perform the duties and responsibilities of the office of Archivist." (44 USC Β§ 2103(a). But Bradford Wilson does have a long record in ultra-conservative academia, including as president of an organization to "counter" progressive trends in education, the Association for the Study of Free Institutions. He's also from the Witherspoon Institute, a conservative, anti-LGBTQ+ organization tied to Opus Dei. Wilson is also of the charter school organization Great Hearts Institute, and he's former Exec Director of Princeton's James Madison Program. According to public information, Wilson has no experience in the federal government or leading any large organizations, nor any relevant executive-administrative experience. So Trump has nominated someone who doesn't meet the statutory requirements, has no relevant experience, skills, or education, and has spent his career in ultra-conservative academia, to lead the National Archives, a nonpartisan position in an independent federal agency. Crucially, though, Wilson has disqualifiedβ€”and disgracedβ€”himself by accepting this nomination in spite of the blatantly partisan and wholly inappropriate manner in which the job became vacant last year: when Trump fired, without cause, Archivist Shogan. The US Archivist should not be political. Earlier partisan Archivists have significantly damaged NARA, federal recordkeeping, and, most importantly, agency staff. Please vote No and reject Bradford Wilson.

Follow-up: they are adding stuff that we don’t need or want and are significantly upping the price because of it. πŸ™„ But they did come down considerably for me, so they are willing to negotiate. πŸ“š

What the actual fuck are you thinking with this price increase?!?!?

Anyone else get a renewal notice with a 50% increase? πŸ“š

I think so. That explains postpartum depression after adoption. Which is certainly a massive emotional experience. (Ask me how I know. 😬)

Having my father back in my life again after 30 years is weird as fuck. And he hasn’t even moved back yet.

Everything going on right now makes more sense if you realize everybody in power right now sees their job as making TV, social media, and short form video for a Nielsen demographic of one.
