But I'm smiling, doesn't that make it happy hour? (I actually heard that argument once. It didn't work).
Hope your meeting went well.
My autistic nephews say fuck you rfk jr.
Give your advisor this look. They'll cower before you!
So they were our "friends " but harbored OBL? That makes no sense.
Show me where Ukraine attacked Russian civilians. Bin Laden did this. He was fair game.
I'll say it. Fuck Pakistan. They harbored OBL. They get no say.
Agreed. If we can get rid of Kiley and Issa I'll be ecstatic. Add in Kim and I'll be over the moon.
I chuckled...
I have students share his videos with me at times. Lots of superficial stuff, some kernels of truth, but mostly junk research.
Indiana too. So many good resources just being scratched. Just maddening.
Just sending you kind thoughts. And a cat picture to hopefully make you laugh.
Come on Joe. It's real estate development. That's progress! It's the opposite of destruction!! I somehow typed that with a straight face....
Correct me if I'm wrong, but writers put players in the hall. Not mlb. So should Clemens sue sportswriters instead?
I'm preemptively making reservations now.
Was thst the gold buried beneath snowmen in Norway wwii?
Did you inspire fear? Or compassion?
Tree branch had one fucking job...
Or sign off "with kindest regards". Find me a student that writes like that. I dare you.
Ahh. The new state of California folks. Combine Q m-Anon types with MAGA voters, add some libertarians and you've got their supporters. To paraphrase George Bailey in it's a wonderful life, "they're bats!"
Congratulations!
Good luck! The students seem excited this semester fwiw.
Are we not debating how we went in to steal all the Iraqi oil yet, or is that later?
Ahhh. So it's Tuesday.
Dare I ask what the topics de jour are?
Holy cow!!!
We had a Chevy venture. Crawling over the console was a pita.
Wait. That's an option now? 20 years ago nope.
It's always us husbands...
Bloomington is an awesome town! (Biased as an IU alum but still).
She was mad that we were taking one of my sons back to college.
Always choose the cat! Or you get these looks.
Leo resents the ginger slander. (Two minutes after this picture he got his tail somehow stuck in the couch and couldn't get it free, so maybe the slander is warranted).
Stay safe. And praying for safety for all on campus.
❤️❤️
Was just discussing this with the wife. The extreme right was never this gleeful about previous Republican presidents. Sure, they always hated Dems, but neither Bush presidency, or Reagan in my lifetime had this sort of support from the far right.
I think yes. I had a German professor years ago who said yes, but I can't remember how he demonstrated it.
Why would she lie? /s.
Combined arms!!
"It is with great pleasure that I am applying for your position at x...". I mean, really? I'm applying everywhere.
Read your letter that you wrote to get into graduate school. 😮😮😮. That was painful.
2:23 here. Cats decided to wrestle at the foot of the bed. 🙄
I recall in his first presidency my dad, who was a biochemistry professor, got into it at some university wide meeting with him. They loathed each other
Gee is still around? That's a blast from the past.
Awesome! This in Indiana?
You were also in the bus next to me yesterday!!
Yup. What people misread is security assurances, not guarantees, were the promise at Budapest. It sounded nice, but guaranteed nothing.
What's even more frustrating is his dad is a professor. Was department chair when I started grad school. Very well published.
Mr. P crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday He was a wonderful cat. Sleep in the stars buddy. 💔💔
Or Bartok. Maybe he has a new found love for classical music now that the Kennedy center is under his control? Nah. It's Karolyi.
That's what I figured, but they surprised us all by being so pro-AI.
We're going to have this fight this fall at the academic senate at our cc. The math people love AI, the hard sciences are ambivalent, and social sciences/humanities hate it. It's gonna be brutal.
When he says the moon landing is fake mock him for believing the moon is real.
See also Chomsky, Noam.
Impressive. I had mediocre champagne after my defense.
Find a rare Scotch to celebrate !!!
Hot dam!!! Congratulations!!!!
Drives not too bad, but DC might be really weird right now.
Are you reading them legal opinions?
Where's the Swiss? And Balts? We exist damn it!
Wait. The secret amends to Molotov-von Ribbentrop pact wasn't a war crime? It allowed for the invasion and division of a sovereign state, Poland. Ever since Westphalia and Vienna that's been against international norms, although not always adhered to obviously. But still..
Katyn. Stupid typo.
Katy comes to mind. Mass deportations of Balts to labor camps comes to mind. Deportation of Crimean Tartars comes to mind. But Stalin was a good guy. 🙄
A good dissertation is a done dissertation. I looked at mine the other week for the first time in 20 years. Why my committee didn't call me an idiot amazes me.
As is the Chernobyl exclusion zone. I'm not saying we're perfect, but we're head and shoulders above the old Soviet system.
Yeah, Siberia was a lovely place to visit. I'll tell my dead Latvian relatives to book a flight...
Holy crap! Again I gotta ask. Did non of these tankie apologists actually live during the Cold War and see the "glories" of Soviet communism?
Oh you and your silly notions about constitutional powers...
Wait. What? 🤬🤬🤬
Ahh. Nothing more polarizing among Heads than Donna. And Swifties as Wooks? I shudder...
She's helping take care of her big brother who's sadly taking his final trip to the vet on Monday. 😥
Just teaching intro American and altering the syllabus every day depending on the fresh horror of the headlines each morning..
None may pass..
What kind of wine?
Pistachios are also involved.
Just going to the straight brown liquor and chips.
How did he get the socks to stay on their little legs?
The turkey would have gone bad while you traveled. Goodie saved you from food poisoning. You should be thanking him.
Please be there and ask questions. I've got bail money...
Oh no. I'm so sorry. RIP Freya. Wait for your buddy by the rainbow bridge. 💔💔
It's a dry heat.... Desert dwellers here in California are a different breed.
Is he making good calls?
We've got two down here in Santa Barbara/ventura counties. Hoping this is the worst of the season.
Straight out of the SED propaganda files. JFC.
Oh wow.
Did anyone at Jacobin actually live during the Cold War and see the wonders of socialism in the Eastern Bloc?
You think you're funny....😎
Love the daily bunnies!
Can we mix the supplements with bottom shelf booze? Asking for a friend...
And Ukraine provoked the Russians...
And yet their condemnation of Russia in Ukraine, or the conflict in Sudan, is where? Did I miss it?
That's awesome! We saw a bunch of humpbacks off Santa Barbara CA some years back, but all my kids remember is the tour guide pointing out floating blue whale poop...
Cool! Where is this?
Cheering for the spaniel!
