Schools are definitely taking advantage of grad students as employees in my experience. It’s funny—you sign a contract that states you are to work 20 hours a week at the start of the semester. Then when it turns into 30 hours a week the student has no recourse. Quite a few people went to the chair last year bringing…

Many (possibly most) public universitys are already unionized at all levels: grad student, adjunct, faculty, so pretty sure if it was an issue it’d already be an issue considering how much research is done at the big public uni systems (New York’s and California’s for example).

Who hasn’t?

Can we just get some video of Lucas Burger at Hooters and less of Trump of wherever he is? I think it’d be classier.

Sweet Mother of Pearl. How do we make all of these people SHUT THE HELL UP???????

She can be standing in front of a green screen with some parts of the scene added into the foreground. The speech may be real. but they want to give the impression that she is in a packed house, and she isn’t. Also her health is fragile and she could collapse or have a freeze up and they don’t want that happening in…

Apparently now it’s “The speech was staged in front of a green screen!” Why that would matter in the slightest, even if true, is beyond me.

Well shoot, I thought I had that covered already?

No way I can watch this. Stories like this are why my own teen daughter refused - REFUSED, screaming and crying - to report a guy who not only assaulted her while she was drunk at a party, apparently the fact that she was drunk didn’t make her incapacitated enough for him. The asshole also shot her up with heroin,…

but even the best private insurance won’t cover most of these, with exception of the anti-depressant drugs and a few PT sessions. Psych support or CBT? Forget it

This woman is just letting her street rat crazy fly and she seems damn proud of it. It’s like she KNOWS what she’s saying is complete insanity and she is proud of it. Like, “I wonder how much farther I can push this craziness before they cut off my mic?”

Don’t forget ... take his phone. Please.

Yeeeeeeah ... saying he has regrets is not the same as saying he’s sorry. Newp. Not at all. I regret eating that extra piece of pizza. Doesn’t mean I’m apologizing for it. Just that it was a bad life choice. Urp. If Donald has ever truly apologized for anything in his life, I’ll eat a whole extra large with anchovies.

I watched “Stranger Days” this past weekend in two days. It’s like potato chips - once you start you can’t stop. Loved it.

How the hell do you get ungreyed there? I’ve been ungreyed here for years.

I just lurked around Jez for a long time before I tried posting, but I’ve been posting on various internet sites since the late 1990's. Generally speaking, there’s going to be some mods/writers/whoever-has-ban-power that are touchier than others. Welcome to the world. Just like in life, some people are a little bit…

I never watch Olympic weightlifting because I have a fear that some person is going to have some body part just suddenly explode. That’s what it looks like. And I would never get over that - I still remember seeing Joe Montana’s leg go an entirely unnatural direction during a football game on tv when I was a child and…

If I wanted to totally trash my vote, I’d vote for Harambe before I’d vote for Jill Stein. But seeing as I’m serious about not ushering in the four horsemen of the Apocolypse, I’m voting Hillary.

Oh, and could I PLEEEEEASE get out of the greys, even if it’s only for one week?

“How come I’m not getting any media attention?” “How dare the media report what I actually said??!!!” Ahhhh, the politician’s paradox ...
