I love academics. One person accidentally hit reply all to an email with (I assume) most or all UTEP faculty members. Now 9 people have replied all asking people to stop replying all. Tempted to reply all asking them if they know they’re the ones replying all.

@BallBlakely This used to happen to me like once a term at UNCCH with literally hundreds of people doing this at once. At least once it caused major IT issues.

@JPober It’s dry, unlike the PNW, and the temperature differential between summer is a lot greater—it’s actually comparable to any area with a “normal” winter. It’s just that our starting point for a seasonal high (100-110) is so highthat our low point (50-60) isn’t that low.

Oh and close to 10% are immigration charges?
Michael Shellenberger@shellenberger
No matter your politics, these new numbers are shocking. Of the 7 million migrants that ICE released while their cases are being processed, 663,000 have criminal histories, 13,000 were convicted of homicide, 16,000 of sexual assault, and 1,845 face homicide charges. 😬

@firstchecker2 @bayesianboy if only it were that easy (it should be, but I'm weak)
