100% says you’re a moron to think not a single person that’s poor is capable of managing their finances.
If you get sick,you’ll

Dinesh D’Souza 100% intended to break election law; he admitted that fact under oath in court. He concocted a plan to get around campaign finance limits, conspired with others to put the plan into action, and actually did executed the plan.

I’m somewhere in the middle of the season. It’s pretty ok so far. To me the biggest issue has been the lack of compelling characters. Bean’s good, but Elfo seems more like a , second tier character and the demon doesn’t seem like a full character at all. It would be like if Futurama was mostly Fry, Zoidberg and 1/3 of…

The Three Amigos

Oh, she was clearly trying to fuck him. Also, she’s not a lesbian - she identifies as queer. Not the same.

Two Death Stars. What a savings.

I don’t know if anyone outside academia understands how uniquely terrifying it is to go up against the machines of institutional power there, especially as a grad student. You pour your entire life’s work into your degree and (if your advisors are unscrupulous) put up with all types of abuse because you know these…

Reminds me a bit of those people who say “Haha yeah, I’m an asshole” as if it were some endearing quirk. No, that’s not a thing you get to be. It’s not cool to make other people uncomfortable because “that’s just me!”

Right? There is nothing to “make”of this beyond another sexual harasser protected by their shitty friends. Being female, queer, feminist or Jewish doesn’t preclude anyone from being an abuser. And any person of any gender is entitled to file a Title IX claim. This isn’t rocket science. I am also annoyed the article…

I will be honest, when I read that the letter admitted that they hadn’t seen the evidence, but were convinced it wasn’t sufficient, I just burst out laughing. That is just some next level stuff there.

“What Are We to Make of the Case of Scholar Avital Ronell?”

What are we to make of it?

yeeeeeeeah, nothing I’ve seen makes me think this is a “well what should we do” handwringing type situation. she was shitty and abusive, she should lose her job

It’s only now, with the language around the MeToo movement, that I’ve been able to look back at what happened to me in graduate school and recognize that it was sexual harassment. Because my advisor was a woman (as am I) everyone just said “she’s hard to work with.” Without a doubt, that experience changed my career…

I don’t think it’s ethical to blur professional and personal lines when there’s a power imbalance in a professional setting. Anecdotal, but as a supervisor, I zealously avoided personal connections with my employees and others who were not necessarily my direct reports, but were subordinate to me in my position. 

Seems pretty straightforward: we are to make of it what we’d make of any academic sending emails that are transparently sexual harassment. I'll be goddamned if I'm not gonna say anything about all the "but she was a good professor!" whining. She obviously wasn't THAT good if she was sending those emails and her best…

God some of the things the women said in that NYT article were terrible especially the one that seemingly implied title IX shouldn’t be used against women.

Holy hell was that Michael Bolton? I love how he leaned into doing all these kinds of things after The Lonely Island stuff.

On a more serious note ... and still using the Dixon Hill theme .. what if you basically turned Picard’s last series into a hallucinatory, bonkers adaptation of The Singing Detective. Past weaving in and out. Holodeck fantasies, Confusion. Some music. Holy hell.
