You can just call on a male faculty member, he will start by saying “I have a comment not a question” and after 35 minutes of that you say thank you and hit the door

So, a different framing: What store of value do you recommend that will last 30 years or more? Before sea level rise I would have said a house in Copenhagen. Maybe now it’s in Chicago with space for a garden I’d like to hear about how an economy requires rule of law, and what we might do

Yes, Tillis is terrible and voted for ALL of this He is only trying to avoid being a pariah like Pat McCrory Tillis wants money and board seats and to be respected instead of shunned for cowardly betrayal of the Constitution and citizens he is supposed to represent

There are interesting legal issues! I spoke to my kid’s environmental science class about this case, and said I had no idea what would happen Best guess is it probably gets kicked for procedural grounds; JohnBob promptly closed the first street doors when he got the center seat

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!
