nasa employee: oh hey u guys are back early
astronaut: Office365 in spaceship
nasa employee: what?
astronaut: *loading a pistol and getting back on the rocket-ship* Office365 in spaceship
why the hell would we put windows 11 in space
I think this really illustrates that a lot of dull people who complain about "politics" in stories, simply do not know what politics are. including, sometimes, the authors of those stories.
Thousands of Mississippians joined No Kings protests across the state of Saturday, opposing the war in Iran and President Donald Trump’s actions as president.

8/ job-oriented majoring is often, perhaps always, chasing a past labor market demand. We need students and families to understand that the future is not so easily predicted and what they need are flexible skills— not a repertoire of facts specific to one imagined job.
Why would I thank you for basic common scholarly decency??? You want ECRs to suck up to you????
Well now this isn’t funny lmao

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.
Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”
