If your entire product is based on theft of others work, you do not have a product, you have a crime.

So, the DOGE mass firing of people responsible for keeping our food safe was a bad idea? Who could have possibly predicted such a thing?

OSU has cut faculty professional development funds, so many can't attend the local or national events they need to stay on the cutting edge of knowledge (which is a core mission of R1 universities, btw). But, somehow they have the budget to hire 100 faculty?

There is no system better designed to screw people over than medical insurance the United States.

Nailed it. I felt this as both a student and a resident. Such a bizarre and off-putting dynamic.

Don't get me wrong, when people today seem increasingly comfortable saying truly awful things I appreciate a little over-the-top politeness. But students shouldn't feel like they are bothering me by asking questions or coming to office hours. Those are just basic job duties that I am happy to do.

The instructor that invited me began by asking everyone about their "weather." Were they having a sunny day? Cloudy day? etc. It was a lovely way for students to share current mood and well being. Most said something like, "I'm sunny bc it's sunny here and its been a good day." 2/4
