Jill Abramson - Commencement Speaker

[siff]

It actually did make Fox News. I graduated today and was excited to see it when I went to get lunch with my family.

I thought that the speech was weird. They had a laugh track and an applause track playing whenever she made a joke.

I call bullshit

And I apologize G, I got caught up in my skepticism, but I should have said congratulations on graduation, by far the much more important point. Way to go!

Its a good speech, much better the Law School speech I had to endure last Friday. UGH BORING

I can't decide if this is ironic or not. Anti-clickbait, if you will. Dig it.

So they used ~two Wake pictures (Manning and the Deacon). Great article.

I could be overthinking it (no shit, Townie) but I thought they were trying to be meta and cool and make a buzzfeed-y clicky listy article explicitly NOT about Jill Abramson.

The faculty were definitely pro Abramson, and were vocal with their clapping. It wasn't piped in.

Would the last fired person to leave Wake's campus please turn out the light? #grobe #[redacted] #abramson

This. Just the multiple mics picked up their responses during her speech.

On a brighter note, congrats to all the graduates! I am sad to be moving on but have loved my last 8 years here!

She was wearing jeans underneath her regalia during the speech.

And going commando under that.

 

[Biff Tannen]

With a strapon!

 

[dashionista]

Sure the mics on the dais weren't just picking up the applause from the faculty?

This is what I thought was happening-- it was confusing there in the beginning though.

Hey she just got dumped time to let loose

 

[tsywake]

What else would you expect from someone who is at the forefront of the woman's equal pay movement. She burned her bra at the bonfire Sunday night too.

Was [Redacted] there?

To see the only player he ever coached for four years graduate?

Good question.

No because his daughter graduated this year. No way he comes back for Travis.

 

[PhDeac]

I thought she already graduated? She was a student when he was hired.
