Doing it well requires a different approach and skill set than in person learning, which can be difficult to retrofit into an existing institution, especially when budgets are tight. Plus established institutions tend to be a bit conservative about things. Even if the administration is on board, getting faculty to adjust their curricula and adopt the new technology can be near impossible.

Shoot Arch Duke Ferdinand. Few people even now about it today, but he was subject to a horribly mangled assassination attempt that many scholars belive would have set off a major war in Europe had he died.

Updated list:

• expressing concern about innocent Palestinian citizens being gunned down = nazi
• performing an actual nazi salute (twice) = not a nazi
• claiming to be a nazi and selling swastika merch = not a nazi

Every day is opposite day in Trumpistan.

According to Yale’s website their operating budget is about 6 billion of which 2 billion comes from the endowment. That seems a bit low, but they are probably putting some money back into the endowment to grow it further.

I’m not saying they couldn’t afford to keep this one class (surely they could) but funding the whole operation with just the endowment would fail in the long term.

I used to think the Anne Frank quote was inspiring. Now I just see it as bitterly ironic.

I was curious and checked while shopping today. There weren’t any, just a bare shelf.

I never thought of using tomatos as a way to explore the themes of gender and sexual identity, but there might be something there…

Despite all the effort spent prosecuting it, there’s virtually no concrete evidence that retail theft — organized or otherwise — is on the rise. Data on retail theft provided to law enforcement and lawmakers comes exclusively from corporate retailers, or organizations funded by them, and is not independently vetted. Last year, the National Retail Federation was forced to retract its claim that organized retail theft cost its members “nearly half” of the $94.5 billion in lost inventory in 2021. One researcher put the actual figure closer to 5%.

Oh god… Rey and Kylo Ren are supposed to be the reincarnation of Anakin and Padme aren’t they.

This picture represents everything i expect out of 2025…

Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.

I vaguely recall pushing in two buttons at once to get them both to pop out, but maybe that was something else.

Crazy answer: The moon to 1969. Imagine, Apollo 11 launches to land on the moon then suddenly a second one appears in space orbiting opposite the original.

Less crazy but still far reaching: a tazer to the theater the night of the Lincoln assassination. I wonder how different the U.S. would be if Lincoln had survived and the resonstruction period gone differently.

Somewhat more plasuable: enough documentation and evidence to convince someone high up in U.S. intelligence in 2000 that I am a time traveler then everything we have on the world trade center attack. I’m curious how different things would be if that had failed. Maybe bush only gets one term and the whole U.S. political situation shifts for the better. Maybe a less destabilized middle east avoids the worst of ISIS and with fewer syrian refugees, right wingers in Europe are less successful, Brexit fails, and Russia declines to invade Ukraine.

He could run again as a placeholders VP, then have the placeholder resign after taking office. This would bypass the can only be “elected” twice rule.

Yes, there is an amendment that requires a VP to meet the same eligibility requirements as the president that should prevent this, but a corrupt court could rule that since that amendment does not explicitly mention term limits, those do not apply…

That or maybe politics Friday when those posts are allowed?
