RIP Kris Kristofferson. 😢 Pomona College grad, former janitor, great songwriter, notorious face puncher of racist rock musicians, and all around good dude. Kris Kristofferson wrote one of my favorite songs (Al Green's rendition of "For the Good Times").
The Purge: A Police Story Pointing out crime is down is, it’s essential to remember, NOT the correct fact-check. “Tough on Crime” is his way of telling his base that he will sanction violence against people his base dislike—Blacks to be sure, but lots of others. It’s abt violent social control.
Just your annual reminder to raise a glass to Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov who on this date in 1983 saved your life when he decided to wait for evidence in stead of passing on the message that could have caused armageddon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_So...
For reference, the study floor at Geisel library was open around the clock from Sunday until Friday at 6pm. I've seen them note that 24/7 study spaces exist in the new "living and learning" buildings they're putting up, but (a) none of those are the library, and (b) only residents have access.
Meanwhile, at UCSD...
"The salary increases all hover around 30% [...] The Board of Regents said all the raises will be funded by private donations, with no money coming from tuition revenue or state funds." I thought "donations" that go to specific people are called something else??
The UC Board of Regents approved a package of pay raises for campus chancellors that will pay the highest compensated chancellor more than $1 million.

The U.S. government supports Israel's current indiscriminate reign of terror. If it didn't, it would put a stop to this.
Please boost if you wouldn’t mind so more people can find this to compare notes and possibly get more information
Smelled this last night and freaked out for a bit. It smelled like natural gas to me. Anybody else in the PDX/southwest Washington area have any more information? www.koin.com/news/washing...
Numerous complaints are coming in from residents in Southwest Washington about a mysterious “odor” and it has locals on high alert.
Happy Anniversary! :)
