Bridging the ivory tower and the deep state • Not that kind of doctor • Two-thirds Vol; one-third Moc • Politics, sports, mostly snark • [Insert usual caveat]

This is an amazing quote from Lindsey Graham about when he realized how politics works. https://t.co/sh04ahQOFq

But then friends lose enrollment to professors who don’t care enough to deal — & sure, it’s a student’s loss if they don’t learn, but it’s still unfair to non-cheaters who then rank lower and don’t get honors, jobs, etc. Higher ups are going to have to set college-wide policies -

Friends don't let friends continue to give exams and papers that are not adapted to the current AI landscape (this is AFTER 27 bailed so the reality is even worse)

PS Props to students 1, 22, and 31

@FedExHelp Hi — How do I follow up with the email I received about a missing package if I can’t reply to said email?

Wow: The City of Clarksdale, Mississippi, got a court order yesterday directing a newspaper to delete an editorial criticizing city officials -- without a hearing. Here's the TRO issuing the prior restraint:

See also: birth dates imported from Excel that default to 1/1/1900. This is how you get 120+ year old voters in a number of states that people claim to be examples of voter fraud.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

You don't need to be a coder to figure this out. Simply type: tab age

You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s. That's a clear sign you've discovered a coding issue rather than fraud

And outsourced federal contractor employment grew massively to compensate.
