So they could be potentially be included in the Key & Peele “great names in football” sketch 20 years from now?

It also might be worth pointing out Christian stabbed them for confronting him over his racist assault on a woman - because not only is he a racist he’s a bully and coward, too.

Johnny was obvious but he wasn’t out until 2011, apparently.

Off season conditioning, most likely. The NCAA’s rules are weird but basically the school can have 8 hours of monitored activities per week per student year round for things like running, weights and film study (for football only). I don’t know how WSU is set up, but one absence wouldn’t lead to an immediate suspicion…

Thank you. Seeing conditions as depression, anxiety and even autism as part of the human experience - things to be lived with, rather than necessarily “cured” - can be extremely cathartic. When you feel fundamentally cut off from humanity, “othered” at your core by messages of how people are supposed to be it can be…

There’s been quite a lot of improvement on mental health issues on the public policy front in the last decade or so. One of the very meaningful parts of the ACA was how it engrained mental health parity into insurance regulation. Along with eliminating rescission of coverage, pre-existing conditions and lifetime caps…

Please do what you need for yourself. School in a lot of ways is built to exacerbate issues like anxiety/depression with its short term pressure points of midterms and finals and overarching vagueness. Especially for folks who are still figuring out who they are and what they want to do it is rough. It sure seems like…

Flake’s engaged in classic position taking. His book last year was more of the same. I’m not sure if he’s hoping to be a kingmaker in the conservative wing of the GOP, run for governor in Arizona or primary Trump (I’m guessing not the last) but this is all of a piece with someone trying to cement their power base…

Nielsen really sucks at her job, but I’m sure Breitbart fanboys think she won this exchange by being insufferably rude to a US Senator.

I don’t know overall, but I can confirm that Arby’s shit disasters are real One location in particular in Indianapolis managed to give me a condition akin to dysentery for several days - and I have actually contracted amoebic dysentery before, so I know whereof I speak.

While I wholeheartedly agree with this, the dialog on enthusiastic consent has not penetrated the culture very deeply. I work on a college campus and I’ve talked to our Title IX coordinator about what she sees and it echoes my own observations - by the time they get the enthusiastic consent discussion in college, a…

He’s historically bad but I can’t label him the worst yet. Worst in terms of his impact on the prestige of the office since Nixon seems to be a safe bet. In terms of sheer ineptitude and corruption he may be the worst since Harding (Trump is trying to be as corrupt in his appointments, but as of yet we don’t have…

It is statistically improbable for a man with Trump’s profile not to have some serious health concerns. His triglycerides and other diabetes markers are probably very high (it is almost impossible to be as large as he is and not have high triglyceride scores, plus his prior “healthiest man ever” doctor admitted he…

According to the official numbers, we have been near effective full employment for several years (and in some parts of the country at full employment, while in others unemployment has lingered). When you get there you’d normally expect companies to either lower their entry level requirements/invest more in training so…

Beyond people who they can kick off who demonstrably lack employment and are otherwise “able bodied” - and I agree that will be a tiny number relative to the cost of administration - this will likely also kick off a number of people who are employed under Kaiser’s self reporting survey but who work in the underground…

The context makes it absolutely racist/xenophobic. By Turmp’s “logic”, people from “shitholes” are by definition inferior and unworthy of admission to the gloriousness of the United States. This is of a piece with his repeated comments about the nature of people who immigrate from Mexico and through the diversity…

This doesn’t shock me, sadly. I sat as the student rep on a promotion and tenure committee on a guy going up for full tenure. The fact the guy was a complete dick, both in terms of how he dealt with students and how he acted as an administrator was brought up by me and the outside rep, but the two guys from the…

The autism spectrum and academia go hand in hand, too. Not every professor is on the spectrum - frankly I’m stunned when I go to a conference and see the alpha male strutters and social butterflies, because I tend to think of all academics through my own socially awkward lens - but there’s a lot of overlap. To a point…

See, I got into academia because the practice of law in a big firm sucks much more (at least for me - every thing people dislike about academia, plus consciously compromising my own sense of ethics to further the goals of clients for improved quarterly returns and nothing more). Theoretical options are frankly…

Good luck with that, but do be careful - lots of those jobs are considered independent contracting rather than employment (because it is so “disruptive” to lower your employment overhead by stripping jobs of anything beyond wages). IT systems support tends to be more of an actual job with benefits category - but I’m…
