So im back from aardvarkjr getting his aero eng degree at uva today. As I’m sitting on the lawn killing time before commencement I came across this passage from coverage of yesterdays college of arts and crafts ceremony:

Kathleen McPhillips, a Charlottesville native who double-majored in economics and environmental thought and practice, said being in the marching band with Strelser and getting to witness many of UVA’s biggest sports victories – including the 2019 win over Virginia Tech – was a highlight of her time.

“Environmental thought”? I mean at least they’ve dropped the “science” charade.

So todays grad was docs, architects, commerce, lawyers, nurses and engineers, or, as the commencement speaker put it, “the part of the class that can actually do something”.

when my dad graduated high school in the 30s in his mining town, my grandfather gave him a silver dollar which he carried with him for the rest of his life. Sadly we lost that, but today I gave my son a proof Jefferson/Monticello silver dollar

Congrats, Aard. My wife is a UVA grad. She was there during the glory days of Ralph Sampson...

Congrats to your son. Side note Remdesivir is toxic, causes liver and kidney damage, the last people it should be given to are covid patients. Anyone pushing it is a dangerous moron.

It’s so toxic that it got pulled from the ebola trials. Look it up.
