If you believe something has been rated improperly, why would you then want to hear more from the people who've been doing the rating?

I admire the chutzpah of the school that has a mandatory faculty training day via zoom, when the large majority of their faculty are part time.

It may unfortunately turn out that's the day my booster is booked.

If the first pop up link on the library web page is "Support the library" that strongy suggests that the university is not supporting the library.

It's a bad look.

You mean, the library has been driven to raise funds on their web page?

I don't know the cause but I know how it looks.

Once again the Air National Guard is conducting maneuvers above our town, raising impious war in heaven and casting a Tholian web of condensation trails over us.

Isn't it a little late to be advertising a full time position for Spring 2022?

Today I saw an article on an author I'd not read about before.  His dates were given as 1898-1885.  Was it a typo, or did he die thirteen years before he was born?  That would have been an awfully tragic life.

H.G. Wells wrote The Time Machine in 1895. Coincidence? I think not.

One theory about Merlin is that he was living his life backward through time.  This was the dark ages, of course, but maybe Merlin had a great, great, great, great grandfather who was born after he was?
Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.

Who likes napping?

I love it.

Why do some people seem to take delight, perhaps even sustenance, from unnecessary antagonism?

Also, if you want to start a napping fan club, I'm in.
It's difficult to conclude what people really think when they reason from misinformation.

I would guess we could start a napping thread, but would anyone ever wake up to post to it?

M.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.
