we also got a few different versions of duran duran as well (the bravery, franz ferdinand, kaiser chiefs and i'd say the killers, who are duran duran if simon le bon grew up in new jersey)
it's funny that between 2001 and 2006 we got like five different versions of gang of four

He had no patience for pomposity and made it clear you could be a Real Scholar and normal human at the same time. Hell, I’m not sure the other way is sustainable.

When I was left "unmapped" after a reorganization in the online ed co I worked for, I sent this as part of my farewell:

My career in bioinformatics *did not exist* when I was 18 years old. I joined a brand new field in my mid-20s, and had to be flexible and creative. Trying to get by with a narrow slate of skills considered relevant in the mid-1990s would've been hopeless.
Even if we would stipulate that the *only* purpose of college is vocational training (ugh) if you think you, at 18 years old, not only know for sure what your future career will be but also know better than all the professors at a college what skills you will need for that career, why bother?

oh hey look it’s the thing literally everyone said would happen
Two months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order restricting H-1B visas, soaring costs are roiling rural health care facilities that have long struggled to find staff.
Rural America relies on foreign doctors. Trump’s visa fee shuts them out.
The Trump administration’s demand for companies to pay a $100,000 fee to hire an immigrant worker using an H1B visa has created turmoil among rural health providers.

And as usual, the liberal side has facts and cogent arguments, while the illiberal majority has a short "nuh uh", mainly hinged on "we must presume good faith" and the irreparable harm caused by somehow NOT executing a mid-term plainly racist/partisan gerrymander.

I find the phrase “makes history” nonsensical. Have you seen the stuff historians study? Just dropping an old piece of farm equipment down a well or accidentally freezing to death in a glacier gives you a good shot at the history books
