@PetreRaleigh But the people who are mad about it ALSO want to get rid of broad liberal arts gen-ed programming. Our business school has been fighting to let their own faculty teach math, foreign languages, etc., so they get to control curriculum and funding rather than other departments.

[Dr. Ryan T. Goodman @RTGoodman]

@PetreRaleigh But conversely, SO MANY people don't use Google to answer simple questions that they SHOULD use it for. Half of the subreddits I follow are full of people just posting the same simple, basic, Google-able questions over and over and if they just searched, it's the first answer!

@PetreRaleigh I started using mine because there’s a world-famous Harvard Law and Obama White House lawyer with my name and I figured I needed to go by something else “professionally”. 😝

I didn't know her well, but she was my "doctoral grandmother," and was unfailingly kind every time I got to talk her. Really just one of the greatest historians of the period, and a huge loss.

@PetreRaleigh In my experience, it's NEVER "I want an orange Coke" or whatever, it's more:

"What can I get you to drink, sweetie?"
"I'll have a coke."
"What kind?"
"[Coca-cola/Pepsi cola/Dr Pepper/whatever]"

Genericized trademarks are not unique to the South!

(Note this is cobbled together from KPD and Knox City updates and people commenting on Reddit, but whatever is happening, it seems serious!)

[Dr. Ryan T. Goodman @RTGoodman]

So uh… they’re evacuating an entire section of Knoxville (incl. my GF’s apt) because somebody cut open a box with a propane torch at a recycling center and it’s apparently full of 200+ sticks of dynamite and is smoking and near some oxygen and deisel tanks???

[Knoxville Police TN @Knoxville_PD]

Update on suspected explosive material on Mynderse Avenue:

- Residents within about a 3,000-foot perimeter of the material have been urged to evacuate.

- The evacuations were prompted by the discovery of suspected explosive material at CMC Recycling.

@eileen_lepetit But funnily enough, in Appalachia and the South it’s a traditional food! (The young leaves and stems are not poisonous, and can be boiled and cooked down with vinegar and pepper and ham/salt pork, in a dish called “poke sallet” or “poke salad.”

Y’all asked. We answered.

@UTVolShop THANK YOU for finally making stuff in bigger sizes too! So many things I would have bought in the past but only went up to XL or whatever!
