I remember reading a stat a few years ago that at most Ivies, legacies/children of large donors make up 30% of admissions each year. Affirmative action of the realest sort.

That is the Missouriest thing I ever fucking saw. I love the place I grew up in. It’s beautiful. I miss it all the time. But I can’t live there, because I can’t stand being surrounded by this kind of smug, stupid asshole. Go on, UM Columbia students, I’m proud of you.

Well just racism in general isn’t what is being protested but okay. And I thinka measure as drastic as a hunger strike shows what things are like here right now

Few things give me more hope for our future than my generations willingness to make a stand for things we deem important. Good on these kids for standing up and putting the university in a situation that is going to force some action.

Dear lord, I just clicked into the replies on that tweet. And here I though ESPN had some dumb comments... Some of those tweets and the number of them make me profoundly sad for society.

There are still some Democrats who never bothered to migrate to the Republican party, despite having far more in common with them, anymore, than they do with Democratic goals. I suspect there will always be some.

Well I sound like an asshole. But still - doesn't that seem hypocritical too?

Davis is actually a registered Democrat — Blue Dog, I would guess — but she is not actually a Republican.

They should. Not only because she deserves it, but also in their own future interest. Can’t have people running around playing your biggest hit for public use without compensation!

Sure — but what would you get? A quantity of Bibles, all of which fall open to the Song of Solomon (the only book that showed signs of having been read — and re-read, and re-read...); maybe a dusty, half-broken-down old Dell Dimension, half-full of porn thumbnails from 1999; and some dowdy clothing. Not really…

My first time seeing that. It won’t be the last! I love it. What a great little goof.

It’s the eye of the martyr
It’s the thrill of the Right
Rising up to the challenge of our (Supreme Court) trial
And the last known dissenter
Thinks Jesus supports her plight
And she’s watching us all with the eyeeeeeeeeeee ... of the martyr

Okay, first, I am astonished that Survivor is still a band.

I’m honestly amazed that they can still be on such great terms being in the same highly competitive field. My brother and I could barely handle being in the same K-8 school ‘cause of the constant comparisons.

Debating if I like your dog, or your Kinja user name better...ok ok ok your dog. But it’s close! My dog (Roo McClanahan) approves!

They may be happy and beautiful but HOLY SHIT WHY DO THEY ALWAYS RUN STRAIGHT FOR THE ROAD? The previous question sponsored by about 10 years off my life expectancy and many many gray hairs.

They are the best kind of puppy.

i have a corgi. she does crazy stuff, doesn’t listen at all when she gets more than 4 feet away, and always comes home. she has caused car accidents. i love her dearly

She’s tired just watching
