The time for 3rd party support is between elections... because they need time to build actual infrastructure, or else they totally are just flash in the pan.

None of the 3rd party candidates have a snowballs chance in hell at winning by any polling metric; they lack any wide appeal outside of white voting blocks, and…

Yeah, it’s bad, but I think it’s pretty par for the course (as horrible as that is), and I don’t see how that targets minorities.

Things are bad for minorities, but remember too that 20 years the public at large were still not overwhelmingly in favour of interracial marriage. Things aren’t great, and Trump is absolutly…

I mean in Germany though you had murderous purges, and progressive political disenfranchisement of minority groups before things came to a head. The parliament burned down in an false-flag attack, and Jewish had their business license and professional licenses withdrawn. This did happen quickly, and it should be…

I’m sure there’s some variance in schools... but still, even at the undergrad level, I would hope that after the first year it would start to focus on critical theory and the study of communications, rather than just “101 public speaking.”

I would agree with you though – my feeling is probably that it’s a bad bachelors…

Web design is usually a professional training or arts program, and computer science is not a humanities discipline. “Communications theory” is like the branch of philosophy focused on communications technology... it has a more narrow focus than a philosophy department would, but its more interdisciplinary than a…

At a good school (and at the graduate level, where its not just introduction courses for people that need to fill a requirement), communications studies is the theory of how information is transmitted, and how people receive it. It absolutly will include critical theory from philosophy and literature fields when its…

My parents did this... and I can attest that looking back I really value these serious conversations and learning-discussions that were had.

Oh my... that’s so incredibly savage. Hahahaha

It inspires the thinking “I wonder if DHL actually jut sells t-shirts themselves?”

In the course of school research, I came across architectural design guidelines for American“women’s health clinics,” and they were really upsetting. It detailed how the space should be adapted to have secure screening areas for guests, and that even if bullet-proof glass exists one should not forget to also ensure…

If you’re a fan of Nils Frahm, he scored a great German film last year named “Victoria,” which is a 2.5 hour long one-shot heist film set in Berlin. Really amazing soundtrack, with a heroic camera-man; would recommend.

When your kids are the right age (late highschool) look into the United World Colleges... they do charge tuition (based on parents income), but its much lower than normally it would be, and it’s not a “private school.”

I think the same thing happens with minorities... I’ve heard “half the class was foreign students” comment, when like statistically at the school they made up of about 15% of the student body.

I think it also explains why “diversity” seems to be a low bar... like 2, or 3 minorities and people perceive the group to be…

Canada is strange (I say as a Canadian), because its cities are incredibly diverse, but once you leave them you hit areas that are like 95% white. It’s also weirdly suspicious of foreigners/expats, such as last summer when expats who had lived outside the country for 5 years had their voting rights removed – and that…

As a foreigner, I figured that there probably weren’t that many actual Trump supporters.... just real crazies, like people who believe in Reptilians and also stockpile MREs so they can survive the EMP blasts...

How many people seem to know people who are genuine Trump supporters... is horrifying.

There’s the simple background check where they just run your name through the system (like what would happen at an airport), but a proper criminal record check involves fingerprints that get matched against the FBI database. This costs money, and a few weeks for results... in NYC at least, I assume the same in Texas…

Grimes said the same thing in a previous interview; that she wanted to be self-sufficient so she could avoid harassment from male producers.

While in principle I love student protests... I guess I’d be more thrilled if they proposed a more interesting alternative. I mean Columbia has one of the most prestigious MFA programs in the world, it’d be nice to see a more ambitious conclusion than “it’s ugly, take it away.”

I think it’s really tough... because on one hand she’s so important for being a woman and a minority in a field dominated by white men; her struggles must have been phenomenal, and she in a league now where all the “star-chitects” are doing these jobs with really questionable moral conditions surrounding the labour.…
