Apropos of not much, in the 1st year of my PhD at Leeds I was TAing and gave a student a 46 or something for a very, very poor essay.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
