On Thursday, Mark Zuckerberg gave the commencement address for Harvard University. In drizzly weather, the tech mogul spoke passionately about purpose and community. But of course he reminisced about his time at the college, from his first computer science class to the time he created “Facemash” and was faced with disciplinary measures — and the all-important moment he met his future wife, Priscilla Chan. Apparently, he had told Priscilla that he might get kicked out in three days because of the disciplinary situation — “So we need to go on a date quickly.” So it’s all thanks to the Facemash snafu that he ultimately acted on his romantic impulses. “You’re getting kicked out soon, too,” he reminded the grads who will soon no longer have access to the university’s hallowed halls.

  • Ask Amy: Depressed elder worries depressed child
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 06/04/2024 - 06:30 AM

    Dear Amy: My 83-year-old widowed mother is depressed, and I don’t know how to help. She refuses to see a therapist and sees drugs as a crutch. She has always been a very private person, is generally distrustful of doctors, and would never let down her shields to a stranger. I have told her that I am not a therapist, but she has lately begun to confide in me about things that, even as an adult, I shouldn’t be hearing. Depression runs in the family.
