This is like the letter of recommendation for a college student that reads “he mostly turned all his work in on time.”

Statement from President Biden on the Passing of Henry Kissinger. Folks who don't speak government might struggle to parse this, but this is as close as it gets to "and I'm glad he's dead"

The rules (at least in the US) are that you never say bad things in a letter, but the good things you choose say a LOT about the student.

“Yes he worked here.” *click*

"Of all the people who've worked for the nation, and all those we've lost, Dr. Kissinger was one of them."

A joke my mother told me. Captain writes ‘First Mate was drunk during watch, very disappointing.’ in his log. First Mate begs Captain to change it, fearing the damage it will do to his career. Captain says sorry, it’s true and it’s staying in the log. First mate huffs off.

“He came to class and offered his views even when the semester was over”
