a cute thing some of us do is mark an email ‘unread’ so we get to it first thing in the morning, and then spend the entire night repeatedly opening it and having to mark it unread again

@DrSDOH Ugh

@DrSDOH You can still find some data here: https://t.co/HbRmf18ftP

[Melissa C Johnson @johnsonmelissa]

@DrSDOH I suspected that might be the case.

[Melissa C Johnson @johnsonmelissa]

@DrSDOH That info was always in the Provost's reports to the faculty senate and the BOV previously.

Remember when MOOCs were going to put us all out of work and ruin universities? And now ChatGPT is going to ruin universities and put us out of work? But that whole time it was your trustees and president and provost who was destroying your university!

Relationship tip: when your partner makes an awful but innocent mistake (leaves their phone in the cab, forgets their passport when heading to the airport for an international flight, drops and shatters a beloved item, gets in a fender bender, etc.), don't get mad at them. It makes no sense (it was accidental) and it accomplishes nothing except supplementing an already bad situation with an unnecessary fight.

Instead, think about it like this: as a couple, you will commit like 20 of these hideous mistakes a year and who knew that one of them was gonna happen today, but it did, so that sucks, but it's also a little bit funny, and let's just make the best of it.

This turns those moments from relationship-damaging to relationship-building. And of course, what goes around comes around—you do dumb things too, and you'd much rather your partner be a laughing teammate than an angry parent in those situations.

I didn't used to do this, I learned it from my wife. I am a frequent committer of hideous mistakes, and it surprised me that she never got mad about it, and then I started being like that too.

Can we all come together, for just a moment — Democrat, Republican, MAGA, dirt bag left, independent and edgelord — and just acknowledge that we’re all about to go through one of the most batshit crazy elections in this country’s history?

A mandated curriculum long sought by Virginia Commonwealth students and faculty members was set to take effect this fall. The university delayed it late last month, and advocates don’t buy its reasoning for doing so.
