We have good old fashioned reply all situation over on the school list serve. I'm going to miss this kind of in the fall but I am also totally not going to miss this kind of thing.
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
It's ridiculous. I'm in favo[u]r of how they type out loul instead of lol; why are we in such a hurry when we are *laughing out loud*. We should revel in the good times. But there's NO U anywhere to be found in the back half of lmao.
It is still broadcasting with sound, which is a lovely crackling, almost like sitting by a campfire.
Camera 1 is down!

A lot of Smart People have painted this guy as a political genius, a man with a gift to read people and...I guess bend them to his will? I kinda get where they're coming from, but the way he keeps doing stupid stuff with obvious consequences makes me think he's not so smart in important ways.
Right after I posted I realized that the abbreviation "Mrs." is usually reserved for women, and is not the plural of "Mr." I regret the error, and humbly apologize to misters Roose and Thompson, who I still think should be embarrassed by their literary mistake.
The more I think about this, the angrier I get.
Imo, McCarthy's lack of punctuation adds nothing and only makes his work harder to read. But this line is great. "As well ask men what they think of stone". It's well-punctuated and the words sing! This is embarrassing Mrs. Roose & Thompson.
I wonder if the guys who put this together are embarrassed by publishing this as the example of a "clunky" phrase. Not only is it correctly punctuated, it's *great*. I HATED Blood Meridian, but I can't fault McCarthy's prose. The guy could write.
Can't speak for everyone, but I, for one, must imagine Jerry happy in this struggle.
He might make hats, though. Fingers crossed!
All that, and I think it is Very Bad to conduct, or appear to conduct, "diplomacy" via twitter. I feel like there's a number of very good reasons that it's not done this way.
I wish the guy could understand that sometimes it is in his interest, and all our interest tbh, to say things that a normal person would say. I know that’s too much to ask. But how has he bamboozled millions of people into thinking this is “telling it like it is.” It boggles the mind!!
The asymmetry of her new face sort of freaks me out. I mean, sure, the whole picture is a horror, but if you're going to pay someone to make your face look a certain way, then at the very least make the two halves match.
Don't worry. I've heard this will all be sorted by the midterms.
Starting Ken Burns's Vietnam War.
This should be enough to get me over the hump to the next Dad Level.
This is good news for our Great American Oil Companies. More profitable than ever thanks to our great president.
($10 says this kind of thing shows up in real life within a week.)
The dog's name is Willie.
I would like to let you all know that I have found a youtube channel where guys ride bikes and their dog comes along sometimes. It's good. I mean, look at this pup!

"I guess"
When I am president I will make it illegal for soda companies to sign exclusive deals with airport stores and restaurants. Coke AND Pepsi is the way towards a brighter future.
This hotel room I'm in is using a new thermostat technology that turns the heat on when the temp drops a couple degrees below the set temp, and then doesn't turn off until it's at least 6 over. Just to be sure, I guess.
I want to go on the record and say that war is bad, even if you sometimes remember to call it something other than a war.
Your version is more plausible. Mr. "Peters" probably changed his name after The Event.
Is that what the kids call kissing these days? I don’t care for the term.
I would like to see someone who is not deeply invested in these things say nice things about them. just like one or two people who make compelling points whose jobs are not on the line.
"Do you love SAP Concur?"
No. What kind of weird question is that?? You are a business application I use to submit expenses. Act like it.
Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.
But also “consistent with what the president [said]“ isn't the standard I am worried about. I am much, much more concerned with whether it’s consistent with the constitution and American values.
