@Remittancegirl Columbia University are a bunch of cowards. They may as well rename the institution Trump University. Utterly shameful that a supposedly world-class university would fail to stand up for the most basic principals of liberal democracy, their nation's constitution and cave when they feel fascism's first breath upon them.

This is what happens when you turn higher education into a business and abandon all moral, ethical and educational standards as a result.

@fesshole Why do people (apparently quite a few) leave towels on the floor in hotels? It's the weirdest habit. Why do something like this that you'd presumably not do at home in a hotel? What do you get out of it? Why create a trip hazard? How hard is it to hang them up like a normal human being?

@georgetakei This makes more sense than the real definition.

@WarnerCrocker These billionaires are supposed to be the most powerful people on earth, towering above mere governments and earthly concerns, they supposedly stand astride the planet like the colossus of Rhodes while reaching for the stars; yet in reality they cower, scrape and worship a two-bit real estate conman, a rapist and felon like the poorest of peasants faced with a mighty king.

What utter jokes they are, what weak little men, with the backbones of jellyfish.

@fesshole In the early 1980s I worked at a company that used telex to communicate with head office overseas. Our boss made us all learn how to use it, bugger around with paper tapes, send messages and so forth. And then faxes came along and it became useless knowledge overnight.

@fesshole Could be that they just didn't want to open their eyes to see you in the morning.

@fesshole Maybe try, you know, talking to your wife about it?

@garius Amazing that all this happened between Zip2 sale in early 1999 and Sep 2000. Wow.
