You can CapsLock those words all you want, it doesn’t make them any more convincing. The student requested a “No Harm” exam *for the entire class*, which is a reasonable middle ground between no consideration at all for a potentially turbulent situation and asking for individual grade adjustments based on…

People who spend time in academia aren’t super concerned about the half dozen incidents that people who don’t but spend a lot of time on Facebook collect.

Not going to shut up about out of date, expensive, and inefficient tech.

Everybody working for The Weekend, huh. 

“Rolling Stone has 6 million followers on Instagram, half of them probably bots. And Jocelyn has 78 million followers, all real I’d assume.”

I don’t know the dude’s music. I’ve only ever seen him in interviews, and in Uncut Gems. I have absolutely no basis for the following opinion: dude always struck me as a dirtbag.
