The speaker at my college graduation was convicted of fraud a few years later. I can't decide which is worse, that guy telling us what a great businessman he was, or an AI speaker.
Yeah well I had a Starfleet Captain, so I feel like I'm winning.
You have to give at least which one!
Hint, she straight up killed a guy.
Kidding, but holy shit Kate giving a commencement would be amazing.
Our pacifist, agnostic campus had a southern Baptist commencement speaker desperately invoking the parallels of graduation to a higher power and lauding our nation's military invasion of Iraq. How in the actual fuck did the admin greenlight that one. Strangest ending to 4 years ever.
As long as the alumni fund gets its share, it's all good.
Whoever was paid less is better.
