if you don’t have
any mistakes
or mess ups
or failures
or embarrassments
in your personal
biography
it doesn’t mean
you did everything right—
it means you did not
do anything
at all.
what’s that
it’s pat 
wonder how many ceo’s get “pulled aside” privately and threatened with charges for non-compliance with govie’s polite requests.
so should peeps make citizen arrests of politicians because crimes were committed in their jurisdictions and not enough was done to prevent it?
how about landlords? they’ve started it with parents. i guess everyone should just stay at home and mask up. that solves everything!
what’s ‘appening?

talking about *when* the u.s. will go into a recession? really?
real butter goes from $3.99 to $10.99 and “economists” saying 4 or 7 or 9% inflation?
math much??? MATH.
echo-no-miss.
echo-no-me.
atjack, you need a tom cruise-esque plot twist like the accounting error at the end of the firm to get out of the mess you are in—can’t turn left or right. govs on one side, dons on the other.

“Lynch co-founded Autonomy, a software business that became one of the shining lights of the UK tech scene, in the mid-90s.
Once described as Britain’s Bill Gates, Lynch spent much of the past decade in court defending his name against allegations of fraud related to the sale of Autonomy to the US tech company Hewlett-Packard for $11bn.
The 59-year-old was acquitted by a jury in San Francisco in June, after he had spent more than a year living in effect under house arrest.
Upon his acquittal, Lynch told reporters: “I am looking forward to returning to the UK and getting back to what I love most: my family and innovating in my field.”
Morvillo represented Lynch at the trial, while Bloomer, who is also non-executive chair of the insurer Hiscox, appeared at the trial as a defence witness for Lynch.
In a separate development on Monday, Lynch’s co-defendant at the US trial, Stephen Chamberlain, died after being hit by a car while out running in Cambridgeshire.
Chamberlain, the former vice-president of finance at Autonomy, was hit on Saturday morning and had been placed on life support.”

Sirach 16:
Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, neither delight in ungodly sons.
Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is to die without children, than to have them that are ungodly.
For by one that hath understanding shall the city be replenished: but the kindred of the wicked shall speedily become desolate.
hmmm… 🤔 making me rethink the booby ‘bootlegger’ kennedy vote even tho he’s a turd but he would not actually win so…
argument to vote third party independent in non-swing states to open room for other future candidates esp. local (state senate etc.) is convincing.
Hope that includes the ridiculously high credit cards they basically handed out like candy to freshman.
They used event tables, outdoor displays & gave out freebies. Some of which, if I remember correctly, may have lit up.
But if destroying universities in order to protect the right to rapacious warfare is worth the trade, I mean, that shows your values. To be honest, academia needs a redo anyway, so if you want to crush it yourselves we will just watch & recreate them anew once you are gone.
The head becomes the tail.
‘Elsewhere, the University of Illinois imposed restrictions on the use of “event tents, tables, walls, outdoor displays, inflatables, freestanding signs, huts, sculptures, booths, facilities, flashing or rotating lights, illuminated signs, or similar objects and structures”. ‘

wonder if they will update their brochures? i remember in the days of paper flipping thru glossy mailers sent by the ivys & their mini me versions. students lounging on greens was and is still a main promo photo. i am skeptical that a marketing strategy for a $250K (tuition only not including food & accommodation) education featuring photos of students being arrested is a winning one. but hey, ya’ll are in charge not me.
