Also, this asshole came from money, married money, and has money. He could have outsourced that training and care to an expert but NOPE!

Yeeaaah there’s a very real chance that the GOP will try to override the voters again, and no guarantee they will be stopped. Even if I agreed with the premise of this article, Biden’s image management is pretty far down on my priority list right now.

Well, if he is going to be the last democratically elected president for a long time we might as well enjoy it. 

LOL....well then let me direct you to my blog where I write once a week or so about how terrible she is simply because I think so. ;)

I mean, that’s what weird right wingers are doing sure, but there was a whole slew of articles from various historians critiquing a few of the factual underpinnings of the 1619 Project.

“I didn’t even want to be in them,” he continued, while visibly perspiring. “Who wants money and fame in some of the biggest movies of our time? I’m happy watching the old stuff anyways, back before it got mainstream. I definitely didn’t audition for the new ones, and never heard back, ahaha, why do you ask? Oh, you…

I can enjoy both Marvel “garbage” films and incomprehensible art and indie films at the same time. It doesn’t even require any Simone Biles-level mental gymnastics.

Was this what the school wanted all along? This last minute, grudging “well I guess you can have your stupid tenure if you’re going to be so bossy about it” vote was clearly meant to be insulting and they hoped she’d tell them to get bent.

I’m happy for her, Imma let her finish -

Exactly! It’s a scholarly lens through which to evaluate, well, pretty much anything. It excels at certain things and has a few blindspots, like literally any other theoretical framework.

I have a Master’s in English Lit and CRT is something we would have used to analyze a text. It’s like no one knows what it really is! It’s a tool, a way of looking at the world that is worth considering, like feminist theory or new historicism, etc. Just unbelievable. 

Worst?

It’s telling that reactionaries are trying to undermine the 1619 Project by attempting to discredit Critical Race Theory, as opposed to... you know... the actual scholarship underpinning the articles.

The articles in the 1619 Project are brilliant. That we did not receive this knowledge as youngsters is a perfect example of the systemic racism that permeates our entire country and culture (such as it is). If you can read without goosebumps, I’ll be surprised; it’s what the phrase “eye-opening” actually and…

The extra cherry on top of this Fuck Around & Find Out sundae was Hanna-Jones explicitly noting that this dollar amount was to match Hussman’s donations

I would love a clearer story on the granting and denial of tenure in this specific case and this department/field and school. This is a special position, as stated in the story, with a direct-to-tenure hiring. I just think part of the story here, the undue influence of outside/donor money on the hiring/tenure process,…

I don’t think anyone with the last name “Spears” should be involved with her conservatorship. They shouldn’t have any control over it or draw a dime from it. It’s a conflict of interest. She requested an impartial court-ordered female conservator and she should be granted that, at the very least. All the profits of…

That’s a ridiculous assumption. Of course plenty of us have. Having both personal experience with and empathy for the strain mental illness places on a person’s loved ones doesn’t mean we don’t also understand that people with mental illnesses are vulnerable to being abused and taken advantage of by people who love…

As others have noted, Jamie Lynn wasn’t even involved in the conservatorship until 2018, so tickets from 2012 are irrelevant in terms of taking financial advantage of her position as conservator.

I’m interested in how the “smoking gun” link to court documents reveal what a appears to be reimbursement for a shocking two round trip flights in 2012 for JL Spears plus what appears to be a possible child’s RT fare (and refunded upgrade fees) from her home state to Los Angeles, where her sister lives. Both of these…
