I’m fine with it. Feinberg is good and Nolan is bad, so it’s pretty much a wash.

I don’t understand why there is any debate about this.

Good thing you’re around to explain which politicians he’s allowed to think don’t care about black people and which ones do

You make a fair point.

Putting Bannon (or even Rick Santorum) in the same boat with Romney or George HW Bush or James Baker or Hank Paulson—the type of Republicans who have traditionally wielded real power within the party apparatus and government—is puerile looney tunes exaggeration.

Um... not quite.

“When a snot-nosed little guy from Westbrook calls me a racist, ....I wish it were 1825

He’s been called a choke artist for more than just that muffed hold. He’s thrown numerous picks in the worst possible moments, earning him that reputation. To be fair, he really seemed to put that behind him his last couple of seasons (when healthy) so it’s a shame he can’t stay on the field. I hurt my back playing…

Reminds me of a kid in my AP English class who didn’t want to read “House of the Spirits” because... penis something? I don’t even remember. He got his dad and pastor involved and they tried to get the book banned. (Luckily they failed.)

Honestly, I’m very happy to hear this about UChicago. Going to college and having my beliefs challenged, my viewpoint altered, and my ideas questioned, made me who I am today. I read work that was brutal, difficult to get through, and haunting, but it changed my life and opened my mind. As a history major, the entire…

I don’t think anyone is advocating for not giving students alternatives when a truly “triggering” issue is being discussed. No one is saying that someone who was the victim of sexual abuse should have to engage in a deep discussion about it (unless they want to), nor should someone with war induced PTSD need to sit…

Probably better than the shit you’ve evidently been eating for years.

Yes, I’m a generation X’er who once nearly got into a fistfight in my Sociology of Gender class because a guy said that if a girl is drunk and lays down on a guy friends bed she should expect him to have sex with her whether she wants to or not (which basically happened to me, exactly). On the other hand, I also got…

Speaking of liberals and conservatives, it’s not possible to have a productive conversation about core American values until both sides have set aside hyperbole. It’s much easier to identify a problem and have a honest, sometimes frank discussion about it. You may disagree but if your relationship is strong, it…

This viewpoint is very fascinating to me. It illustrates a fundamental problem with anyone trying to “right the wrongs” of society. They are not acknowledging their own bias with regards to what “right” looks like.

I believe it’s human nature to assume what is “right” is really just what is most familiar. And I have a…

Oh my god. Honestly I’m pretty glad I graduated college before Tumblr was a thing...

Could you say what he objected to? I’m always confused by the safe spaces discussion because I have no idea what either side is really asking for. If a safe space is, like, we’re going to have a black student group and not invite alt-right racists to the meetings, I can’t see what anybody’s objecting to. If it’s…

As a college professor I can only speak from my experience and here it is: trigger warnings are used by students mainly as a way of getting out of work or for not having to read literature that they don’t want to. In legit cases (such as a veteran fresh from Afghanistan who didn’t want to watch a segment of Band of…
