HAS there ever been a campus shooter who gave a helpful warning ahead of time?
Not that it isn't fucking scary. Or that they couldn't. But it seems atypical enough that you could have included that in the warnings if only to try and mitigate panic.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This is odd. The head of the department sends out an email to all of us each Monday morning. The one today started with the stuff about the shooting threat, and then the next item was a reminder that this department has zero tolerance for misogyny, and that includes jokes about female mathematicians. I wonder what prompted that. (There was an incident about a year ago, where somebody wrote some lengthy diatribe about how all the bitches are ruining mathematics on one of the chalkboards in a department conference room, but I haven't heard about anything happening recently.)

I first misread this as "and then [the email] includes jokes about female mathematicians" and almost groaned.

I'm looking at job ads. I still think that "read things and learn stuff" should be a job, somehow.

Yeah, if you see multiple postings for something like that, please let me know.
