But regarding those people who would think they had won: What outcome would have convinced them otherwise? Would worrying about them have been worth whatever trouble he and his followers would have caused on campus by going through with the event?

Right, it's the things he's saying that make him wrong.

"How does Milo use threats of physical violence?"
Maybe while you're googling neuroscience videos that's have nothing to do with what I said, you can just google milo if you're unfamiliar with his public career to this point.

He expressly does use intimidation and deliberately create potential for violence against people whose views he doesn't like. Contrary to the "leftists are fascists" thing you're pushing in your every single comment, his own doxxing and other aggressive troll moves are the very reason he's seen as dangerous in the…

In college, after spring break, my roommate came back from his Kentucky home and offered around some Combos he'd been eating in the car. A friend from Canada had never encountered them before, and made a hilarious big deal about how they were a good "Kentucky treat."

But thank god for this: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

What in god's name are you doing?

He also has fine-tuned his affectations remarkably through a long career. When I watch clips of his early t.v. appearances, I think he's way off on things like that screaming you're talking about. He'd do it in an annoying way that'd take me right out of the bit. He's really a great example of someone who has made…

Furthermore, I don't think it was transphobic.

It was a perceptive joke.

I'd say it's less Eggers' persona than having encountered annoying fans of his. But I agree, he's a good writer, and he seems in my experience to have generally gotten better with time.

Heh

"I’d challenge you to differentiate between some of my baby girls’ compositions and early Tangerine Dream." You're on! Seriously that sounds fun.

Also, I just noticed that I said I was reacting to the something in the story, and that probably isn't true. More likely I was just reacting to somebody's comment and how he said it. But I see what you're saying — Slacker and Waking Life aspire to be films of the imagination, and as such they seem to indicate not…

My experience is pretty limited, but it does seem to be discussed a lot more than it's implemented. It's often the "neat idea" that your coworker brings up in a meeting, which I suppose is how it got included on this list of education buzz words in the first place. But it does seem to have some teachers thinking…

I felt like that first Dr. Octagon album in particular was a challenge to see, in the era of blockbuster G-Funk, if hip hop could be taken to strange, psychedelic places. And I never saw anybody do so again in a compelling way, including Kool Keith's own unbelievably lame attempt to resurrect this persona several…

I do think that's something of a fair cop. To the extent that this discussion focuses on Richard Linklater and the diversity of Texas, I should admit that I'm pretty out of my element. Maybe he's depicting real-life places that are very diverse and he's erasing all that diversity, I don't know.
I think what I…

The teacher "flips" in-class time and homework time by assigning lectures as homework (i.e., the students are to go home and listen to/watch recordings of the lectures) and using in-class time for activities that expand on the subject (the kinds of activities students are used to taking home and then discussing or…

In their partial defense, a flipped classroom at least is a pretty easily definable thing.

I was aware of a couple of those things at the time — and of course Odelay — but for me it's pretty much all a matter of hindsight.
It doesn't have to be that way these days, I suppose, but I personally am no longer as passionate about finding new music. My list for this year would literally be Bowie's Blackstar and…
