Anyone else get an unsolicited message from "Cat", the U of A Foundation's new Virtual Engagement Officer, asking what inspires you to connect to the U of A?
I'll tell you what I don't like, "Cat", is the foundation sending a bot after me instead of giving a human student from my department a job.

There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

In Washington state, a new bill would require the installation of speed limiters (Intelligent Speed Assist) in cars owned by people who drag race or go 20 mph+ over the limit.
Seems like a no-brainer. Why *wouldn't* you do this?
