My experience is that that the ones on the biology side of things are much more fun than the ones on the chemistry and geology side of things, and that the ones who work in academia are more fun than consultants and folks in the public sector. But that's probably not universally true.

I think what he's saying is that those were, at least partly, bottom-up change, not top-down.

Cornhole typically is played using boards, made of plywood or some similar material, with a hole cut in the middle. The board is angled only slightly towards the thrower. Often, some points will be awarded for landing a beanbag on the board, even if it doesn't go through the hole. This differs from the game people…

I think it's weird that people talk about political correctness as something that is inherent to the political left. Conservative outrage over cursing or violence on tv or whatever could easily be called political correctness.

From what I understand, the original usage of "identity politics" was pretty neutral.

"Oh yeah, those are some steamy lithographs."

Yeah, because Bernie has gotten soooooo much from the party system. Why do you think he needs support from the DNC when he's been winning in VT as an Independent for decades?

"True progressives know that the Clinton and Obama presidencies have brought inequality to Gilded Era, banana-republic levels."

These are mostly delegates, though, right? Most aren't new to this. They should know better.

Sort of:

Ugh. Jacobin has some interesting pieces but has a lot of blindspots and is remarkably un-self-aware. It is quite telling that they named themselves for a group that lasted only five years, ending with the execution of many of its members, and threw France into a chaotic mess of authoritarian regimes that lasted the…
