Some days are good. Other days, you're frantically googling how to clean dog vomit off your slippers at 4:45 in the morning.

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

One end-of-semester, a bunch of folks in my department got annoyed enough at a persistent gift card scammer that we collectively tormented them with fake responses for at least 3 hours.
Surely at least one department at Texas A&M is ready to be that level of petty for a good purpose.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M adopts policy requiring professors to get OK from school president to discuss certain race and gender issues.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Still true.
Leavitt always sounds like she's the lawyer for the defense in an elementary school mock trial.
Q: Trump said on 60 Minutes that he did not know the Binance founder he pardoned. What did he mean by that?
LEAVITT: He means he doesn't know him personally. He means he does not a personal relationship with this individual. When it comes to pardons, the WH takes them with the utmost seriousness

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

Hegseth: "Let me say that again. We need to increase acquisition risk in order to decrease operational risk ... An 85% solution in the hands of our armed forces today is infinitely better than an unachievable 100% solution endlessly undergoing testing."
