University: the only place that boycotting an exam gets you praise

Prof says he'll grade students on a curve, so they organize a boycott of the exams and all get As

Johns Hopkins Computer Science prof Professor Peter Fröhlich grades his students on a curve: the highest score on the final gets an A and everyone else is graded accordingly.

Clever students in Fröhlich’s “Intermediate Programming”, “Computer System Fundamentals,” and “Introduction to Programming for Scientists and Engineers” figured out that this meant that if they all boycotted the exam, they’d all get As.

So they organized a boycott, milling around the hall outside the class where the exams were being sat, sternly reminding each other that if no one sat the exam they’d all get straight As, ignoring Fröhlich’s pleas to come and sit the exam.

Fröhlich praised his students’ solidarity: “The students learned that by coming together, they can achieve something that individually they could never have done. At a school that is known (perhaps unjustly) for competitiveness I didn’t expect that reaching such an agreement was possible.”

Augustine was one sexually repressed dude

Augustine being extra in his Confessions

on stealing pears from an orchard as a boy: “It was foul, and I loved it. I loved my fall, not the object for which I had fallen but my fall itself. My depraved soul leaped down from your firmament to ruin.” (ii.9)

on being a teenager: “Clouds of muddy carnal concupiscence filled the air. The bubbling impulses of puberty befogged and obscured my heart so that it could not see the difference between love’s serenity and lust’s darkness. Confusion of the two things boiled within me. It seized hold of my youthful weakness sweeping me through the precipitous rocks of desire to submerge me in a whirlpool of vice.” (ii.2)

on attending public plays: “I loved to suffer and sought out occasions for such suffering.” (iii.4)

on rereading his own early writing: “My opinion was miserable folly…. I did not know what I was talking about.” (iv.24)

on lying to his mom: “I was full of abominable filth.” (v.15)

on learning something uncomfortable about a friend: “I had discovered his fatal passion for the circus.” (vi.11)

Kicking ass and taking names, Mantis style

My favourite line from Infinity War 2018

Spider-Man: *points at Drax and Mantis* “Uh, what exactly is it that they do?”

Mantis: “Kick names, take ass.”

Tony: *already accepting the death of half the universe*

Mantis is my spirit animal

As a child, you often daydreamed about a world you invented and you would occasionally write about it. 10 years later, you hear many different voices whispering to you. They are the prayers of the inhabitants of your imaginary world. To them, it has been 1000 years since you abandoned them.

A little video we all should take a moment to watch and think about. 

Instead of thinking about what divides us we should think about what we have in common…
