Well, my take is that Miller probably feels like he was relegated to Duke while he felt entitled to an Ivy. Kind of a villainous white mediocrity revenge plan. (I went to a mid tier university myself, and Iโ€™m proud of East Carolina University!)

I work as an expert witness as a side gigโ€ฆ I destroy everything according to policy, but thatโ€™s probably very different. Thank you for your perspective, itโ€™s comforting!

I hear you on that.. Smith resigned from DOJ on 1/10. He may have personal copies or public filings, but even his notes would be bound by DOJ rules. Evidence would absolutely be restricted. But I see what youโ€™re saying about residual personally held materials. Iโ€™m no attorney, and you are. ๐Ÿค“

I doubt that, actually. The evidence would have been only under DOJ control. But his testimony alone would be explosive.

Because when students see someone like them in a lab coat building a bot? Thatโ€™s representation in motion. Thatโ€™s how weโ€™re changing the face of STEM.

Blocking today:
โ€“ People who say โ€˜your wrongโ€™
โ€“ People who say โ€˜looseโ€™ when they mean โ€˜loseโ€™
โ€“ People who are information-illiterate
โ€“ People who call every flying drone a โ€˜UFOโ€™
โ€“ And people who slander Kamala Harris and also probably donโ€™t believe vaccines work.

All faculty should read this article. It is powerful and full of useful facts.

Additionally, with the goal of further diversifying campus comes the responsibility of support.
This article reminds me that itโ€™s not about students being college-ready: itโ€™s colleges who must be student-ready.

I cannot imagine being one of his victims or their families today. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and betrayal. These were children.

This is such a disgraceful exploitation of our honorable Armed Forces. They deserve dignity and care for the sacrifices they make for our country, not to be deployed for political theater and unconstitutional cruelty.

When I retire from the Cal State system, I wonโ€™t be even close to being able to live in California. And CalPers is one of the better pension programs for those of us privileged enough have one at all. My grandfather was a steel worker and had a 4 bedroom home on one income. Weโ€™re all being robbed.

Kamala Harris remains so inspiring to me.

Rate cuts are used to combat HIGH unemployment. Rate cuts would result in higher borrowing, higher inflation, and itโ€™s like pouring gasoline on a fire. This is basic macroeconomics. There was a time when politicians would be embarrassed to say such things for fear of being discredited.

Most welfare recipients are children, people with disabilities, and the working poor. Nuance is a thing. You have a nice day, now.

We have a bunch of narcissists trying to play the parts of leaders, similar to how my nieces play โ€œrestaurantโ€, assembling fake plastic plates with fake plastic foods. In the end, MAGA will not sustain us because you cannot survive on plastic.

Tolerate?
The disability community is among the toughest most robust people youโ€™ll ever meet. I dare Dr. Oz to use that word โ€œtolerateโ€ in their presence.

Respectfully, itโ€™s more about taking others seriously. Taking their value as people, and the fragility of their lives, seriously. Iโ€™m not here for your reaction. You and I are outwardly very different. You still have value to me. Your behavior? Thatโ€™s yours to own. Anyway, take care.
