That’s all wonderful, and it does a great job helping us understand where the problem truly is (and isn’t.) The big outlier in all these numbers is boys of color. Yes, girls of color are showing less success than the median as well, but boys are failing in statistically significant numbers.

ALSO, as we’ve already…

Young boys of color are doing much worse than the 2-6% disparity you cite, when compared to the average student. If a study suggests those kids would benefit from this kind of arrangement, and if the same study suggests young girls would gain more benefits from after school opportunities, why would you cling to a…

Yeah, looks to me like he swung and missed at what he assumed would be an awaiting high five. I don’t see anything contact-wise... certainly nothing consequential.

Also, Hi-fives? Why hi-fives? I thought handshakes were the thing? Is this only women’s leagues? I feel like i’ve never seen post game hi-fives in other…

It’s a bit adorable that you think Clinton would have led a progressive uprising in any form. She may not be conservative by today’s standards, but she was a throwback to an era where Democrats were right-of-center, terrible for communities of color, and terrible at marshaling the left/progressive wing of their party.

…

are you certain that those conversations were the “entire justification” for the decision? Or are you just assuming?

I would think we should applaud a more considered approach to improving children’s education, rather than just taking a cookie cutter approach... This decision seems to be based on both need and…

so, the divide between standard school success rates for boys and girls would suggest a need for boy-focused programming to achieve parity, no?

If for one year the seeding was completely randomized, I’d be curious if the results were the same—even if you kept the top 8 divided in the 4 regions evenly, I suspect you’d see more mid-majors in the 16.

Look at these family names! Fucking hell

that, among other things i suspect.

I miss the days of going to R-Braves games so I can yell at John Rocker. There were few, but they were good.

I don’t think you grasp the context well

I would trek there from Chicago to see Fiona in a second. The rest is pretty meh, though I enjoyed Haim last time I saw them. I’m trying to convince myself I’ll enjoy seeing the Pixies, but my brain keeps telling me it’s been getting phoned in for the past 5 years.

Guess i can smoke a joint during TV on the Radio and…

Hey! Let’s go VCU!

Came on to bring up the “getting hit in the face” aspect of this. There has to be some level of psychological “hitch” in his swing...some level of defensive swinging or standing or whatever. I mean, even as a pro who has had 4000+ at-bats, that kind of pain doesn’t just get forgotten without a steady diet of booze and…

I had enough of a hard time rooting for this team as it was. Now they’re shitting on drinkers? FUCK. THEM.

indeed. and upon deaf ears this shall fall

and being a misogynist? there can be varying degrees of shitty.

There are a LOT of artists who walk a fine line with regard to moral behavior. More overstep that line than you might be aware of, and one might even argue that it is part of being an artist to do exactly that. Does that excuse boorish behavior? No. But if you decide to draw your own moral line in the sand, where do…

Trying to decide which piece of art I prefer for that room. Classical torture art is nice and all, but your version really gave the room that extra touch of subtle crazy.
