Chicago based ex-academic who spends most of his time taking pictures of his dog. She is evil, and I love her. I’m never really sure if I’m doing things right, but I’m still here and still trying.

My father told me Arlington Heights had one too. But they might have been protesting the Bears.

I’ve never gone because of their criminalization of gay people. I want to go so bad. I want to see Tehran, Tabriz, and so much more. But I will wait until the regime changes. But I’m not rooting for that via an Israeli-Iranian war

Against the imperialist US and Israel goddamnit.*

That being said. They are an evil regime and need to be gone. I’m just not sure what’s the most effective path toward that. Israel striking them is probably not on that best path, but I’m not going to see the Iranian government as innocent in this.

I have a lot of feelings here being first gen Iranian American. I want to go see Iran but I won’t because of the risk it would create for me. Western intervention has long been a useful tool to help consolidate, not splinter, the regimes power, so I’m generally averse to direct force against them….

By traditional country I think, “I have sinned and really can’t seem to stop but I still love God and will futily try to stop sinning”
I don’t think the Grammys mean that either.

In that previous life, I was taught: “assume they don’t have the appropriate background information but write it in a way that the people who do know won’t tune you out.”

And in Atlantic columns, but only BlueSky nerds read that these days.

When pundits don’t believe in the message or the messenger, they try and appeal to some notion of “public reason” as the only legitimate discourse, and they don’t even believe that shit.

I mean $5 million dollars has always been a fast track to citizenship as it is. It’s just in the past we didn’t ask for it in a bribe. It was just “oh you have $5m in assets and we don’t know for sure you are a mass murderer or drug lord, come on in”

Maybe you folks should try being less opaque in your writing and branding and posting. I for one thought I was contributing to a tennis magazine. It took me a long to figure out I was wrong and now the credit card says my stupidity is not a viable reason to question a charge.

Was giving a talk to high school students recently and I asked them how they use “AI” and one openly said “for cheating.” I was taken so far aback from the nonchalant directness of that answer.

UCPath is their branded People Soft but I know of at least one campus that left people soft and moved to Oracle cloud.

Not advocating for withholding tax withholdings but depending on the system and the site of the file transmission, the software provider could quite possibly be insulated from having to say yes or no to that shit
comment in response to

The UC is either on a mix of peoplesoft and Oracle cloud or entirely on Oracle cloud by this point, it is theoretically possible for the system itself to maintain the withholdings, as managers of the system, without implicating a software provider. ADP clients is much grayer.

I didn’t hate it but when I watched Fargo, I did not know how to tell people I thought it was mid.

There is a margin of error, but that margin is smaller than the margin of error of a human eye and more consistent in how it errors. Preventing arguments is also a significant boon to sports as a form of entertainment and for competitive trust.
