This is the dumbest fucking copium ever. The New York Times has no control of her what or who appears on its op-ed pages.

Yeah, you don’t even get a line on your CV. This is just expensive vacation with study halls.

God forbid, if my son was coming home in a box and he showed up, I’d be dead or in prison for the rest of my life.

News of the imminent demise of the mass market paperback has sent my thoughts back to some of the more luridly packaged β€œclassics” of my youth.

The class recording policy is only one part of a wider pressure campaign on academic freedom in the UNC system. The new syllabus rules are what actually seem to be freaking faculty out the most.

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

We sometimes get faculty/staff Valentines offers for our campus conference center. "Hey babe, would you like to join me for a very special breakout session?"
