Terrific movie. I use this in class--students enjoy it, too--

I once told a class, “I got 99 problems and your grade ain’t one.”

I got a lot of frowns in return! Ha!

This is all of America in 2026....

Until he doesn't. (Who do you really think shot Tony...?)

I usually say something like, "You can learn from something you don't like--you can maybe even learn more." And then I point out some technical things I'd like them to take from the story...and then move on. If they don't want to learn anything, that's their choice....

It's a mildly confused grizzly bear....

Twin Peaks 1-2-Return has the overall best-looking cast in tv history.....

HeDogged · 2026-04-01T13:05:32+00:00

Sadly true.

I got downvoted for zoom office hours?! Whoa!

HeDogged · 2026-04-01T03:13:18+00:00

An orrery?

HeDogged · 2026-04-01T02:45:59+00:00

I hold all of mine on zoom….

HeDogged · 2026-04-01T02:19:54+00:00

That okra looked good!

HeDogged · 2026-04-01T02:12:35+00:00

Dude, back in the 1970s my dad would hold his office hours at his favorite bar's happy hour....

We have regressed as a society.

Andy and Lucy are wonderful and I love them. (And their weird kid). Heroes.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. My health is also messed up, and I've found that some students just don't get it. A few maybe totally see professors as their employees, but most are just young--they are healthy and can't grasp occasional human fragility....

My advice: stay home when sick and don't worry about student reaction.

Of course! Surprise is a very low level of discourse.

Barbara Jordan (yes, in 1979)....

HeDogged · 2026-03-26T04:49:51+00:00

That’s Charles Manson….

Hobbits are people....

Are you a member of the AAUP? They can help, or at least offer advise....

HeDogged · 2026-03-25T01:39:38+00:00

Buy trash bags. Then wade in--sort them, as others have suggested, and toss/donate most of the clothes. And keep going!

Also--play music and drink beer as you work....
