Dan Forrest’s cover of a traditional hymn in Christendom does not begin with the familiar hymn tune at all.  It opens instead with an original introduction taking inspiration form Romans 8:31–32 — “If God be for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son…” — before opening onto Charles Wesley’s triumphant Ascension text set to the Welsh tune “Llanfair”.  This mimics a journey from assurance through suffering to celebration thus making it a favorite Easter and Ascension anthem.

Bill Murray spoke at Siena Heights University’s final commencement ceremony on May 9, 2026, primarily due to deep family ties to the school.

Siena Heights was founded in 1919 by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. Murray’s sister, Sister Nancy Murray, OP, is a member of that order and has long been connected to the university. She also received an honorary doctorate at the same ceremony.

Murray was invited as a surprise speaker and received an honorary doctorate himself. In his off-the-cuff address, he emphasized becoming part of the “family,” shared personal stories, and encouraged the graduates as the school closes due to financial challenges.

It was a personal, heartfelt, and humorous appearance driven by family connection and a desire to support the institution and its final graduating class.

The Cambridge Union is the oldest debating society in the world, as well as the largest student society in Cambridge. It remains one of the highest-ranking competitive debating chambers worldwide, and hosts a range of speakers and topical debates each term.

Since 1815 the Union has been committed to the principles of free speech and of fair, open, and honest debate. Founded at a time when the university authorities attempted to restrict these freedoms, the Union remains the centre of controversial and serious debate within the University of Cambridge.

The Union has been discussing, debating, and shaping the issues that matter for the last two hundred years. Understanding how concepts work, challenging ideas, and having a frank discussion is the bedrock upon which our society is founded. It is the responsibility of the Union to ensure that these ideals are protected and nurtured for years to come.

“It’s a fine line between Saturday night

and Sunday morning” – Jimmy Buffett

 

“Rather a bottle in front of me

than a frontal lobotomy” — Some guy

 

Many people are surprised to learn what counts as a “drink”. The amount of liquid in your glass, can, or bottle does not necessarily match up to how much alcohol is actually in your drink.  Even before the United States federal government withdrew from regulating alcohol, the conversation, and degree of agreement and  attitude, remains remarkably regionally specific:

University of South Alabama: What is a Standard Drink?

Other nations serve alcohol to students on campus in university owned facilities.

…”There’s not good math explaining forget the physics of it.  Math explaining the behavior of complex systems yeah and that to me is both exciting and paralyzing like we’re at very early days of understanding you know how complicated and fascinating things emerge from simple rules…” — Peter Woit [1:16:00]

Since 1936 the Brown Jug has been the ancestral trough of generations of University of Michigan students and faculty — notably. Donald Glaser (inventor of the bubble chamber) and Samuel C. C. Ting (Nobel Laureate) whose offices at Randall Laboratory were a 2-minute walk around the corner from The Brown Jug.  As the lore goes, the inspiration happened whilst watching beer bubbles one ordinary TGIF Friday.

The Brown Jug is named after the Michigan vs Minnesota football trophy, which is the oldest in college football.
