Re: Addition and Recovery. We should support everyone going through the struggle and not just those that we deem worthy. 

She’s still a horrible person who drags people through the muck day in and day out on her shows.

An octave is a pretty massive shift for the human voice. 

To be fair - the Ivy’s in particular are really two schools in one. The first is the elite school for the children of the elite. You get in because of who your parents and grandparents are. Then there is the super competitive elite school for everyone else. The former are going to get “gentleman’s C’s” and be…

Harvard grad student here (and FYI, I’m a POC from a single parent home raised on government assistance): I’ve taught many, many students from underprivileged backgrounds with sincere investments in antiracist work, union work, extending global civil rights, you name it. I have taught rich socialites with similarly…

There are many layers to the grossness of a lot of this media coverage. First you have the implication that USC (for example) is a garbage school full of dumb rich people. This is already a cultural trope. Then you have the related implication that Yale, Stanford, Harvard (which isn’t even involved in this scandal but…

Well no, they aren’t, some of them (at least, the one I went to) are really serious academic institutions full of otherwise-marginalized people who are trying to learn the best way to change the world and figure out the ways of power. LOTS of colleges, from Harvard to UT Austin to Colorado State to Pepperdine , are…

He also couldn’t fudge the numbers in (most) areas where he solidly won for the House, then lost in 2018, so there are some election officials including republicans who take their jobs very seriously no matter the result

How did that work out for HRC when she said she wanted to destroy the coal industry and replace it with clean jobs? She said something similar, and she was punished heavily for it.

I wish he would’ve at least taken another shot at Senate. Cornyn is up in TX in 2020 (he’s less polarizing than Cruz with both lower approval and disapproval rates so I’m not sure if that bodes better or worse). Same with Abrams who might have a better shot against Purdue in GA in 2020. I don’t have a magic standard…

I’ll get in: Beto seems like a good guy, full of attractiveness and personal magnetism. I mean, like a genuinely good guy. But to quote Lerner and Lowe:

Well hopefully we won't have to find out.. But I think he has more millitary support than you think...

I’m sure someone on Fox will tell us we can’t take a joke.

According to an article in the Wash. Post by Gabrielle Bluestone - “Jane Buckingham, accused of paying someone to take the ACT for her son and then asking for a copy of the exam to administer to him at home so he would think he’d really taken the test.” I actually feel for this kid with a mother like that. 

Some of the kids did take the exam, and their parents had their test papers subbed or a different score sent back in another way. I dunno if that applies to this particular guy though.

I know Danish.

Having grown up in Appalachia, I am going to tell you that you are dead wrong.
