Every time one of my acquaintances shares that nonsense on Facebook, I want to scream, “This is the propaganda your history books warned you about!”

“Parent thumbs-down: Letting your 14-year-old buy her own lingerie.”

Seconding this. It absolutely, positively meets the academic definition of plagiarism. A student of mine earned a 0 on a paper last semester for less blatant stuff.

The only students who died in Book 7 were all (a) over the age of majority, and (b) involved in the Battle of Hogwarts voluntarily. Oh wait, I take that back — I think one of the Creeveys snuck back in? But at any rate, McGonagall did her best to get students out of harm’s way. And that was a once-in-a-century event,

Yup. Horrifying.

I’m outside San Jose. I’ve found decent pizza, but no really good New York-style so far. Frankly, I’d prefer New Haven-style, but there’s just no chance of that happening. Heh.

I’ve found decent pizza of various varieties (lots of flat bread-ish stuff), but no really good NY style, nor the even more elusive New Haven-style, which is my first love. To be fair, I’ve made only a handful of attempts, mostly due to fear of awful pizza. In my defense, my fiancé and I were scared off a bit when he

It does. Oh, it does. I would probably kill for a good pizza or even a passable bagel at this point.

Oooooh gotcha. Yay for no dairy! I meant to check last night before I commented, because I seemed to vaguely recall that my dark chocolate bars were dairy-free. However, I’d worked pretty late, so getting off the couch was unfortunately low on my list of priorities. :)

Oooooh sorry I should have been more clear! It's a combo box of dark chocolate sea salt and maple pecan sea salt. I'm sorry!! :(

If his work speaks for itself, then why are you worried? Why are you here at all? You should just let his work speak for itself, duhhhhh.

Stop for a second, breathe, and remember to use paragraphs.

I’m starting to wonder if these comments are all being produced by a machine. They sound identical. And the code clearly doesn’t allow for paragraph breaks...

AND THE MAPLE PECAN SEA SALT. Dear god, I just bought two boxes at Costco this morning. I eat them for breakfast every day, and they’re amazing. I’m not a paid shill, I swear...Kind bars are just freakin delicious, and they keep me full until lunch.

Ahem, that’s Van Wilder, Ph.D.

Jim Calhoun got in trouble for recruiting a few times, but the worst Geno’s ever gotten, I think, was a slap on the wrist for giving Mo’ne Davis a congratulatory phone call. (Which, honestly, can we talk again about what a joke the NCAA is?)

Yes and no. I love and respect Pat, even as a diehard UConn fan, but Geno was catching up to her before she retired.

I grew up in the town where Geno lives, attended UConn for 10 years, and will cheer loudly for the Huskies until I die. I think I am well qualified to tell you that Geno will never, ever be likeable. He was really nice when he bought Girl Scout cookies from me one time, though.

And yet, he and his ilk will make endless racist remarks about “Ebonics.” I’ve never had trouble understanding someone speaking AAVE. Trump, on the other hand...I cannot follow his train of thought for even 10 seconds.
