And from that,

I moved to Baltimore a few years ago and went to one of the DC 4th of July events in 2017. I had fun there. So what is unclear is this: what is happening with the traditional event held near the Capitol? Is Trump competing with this just a few blocks away? Are his fireworks going to be the same as the Capitol 4th…

By religion immediately they seem to align more with Conservative beliefs.

So what’s going to happen if Trump says “fuck it, we’re not doing the census”?

Just came to say that the headline is amazing.

I’m curious. So he was having these affairs with multiple women. I don’t know the time-frame here (months? years?), but I do know that you don’t go on a skiing vacation with someone (whether it’s a partner/spouse or person you’re cheating with) unless you enjoy spending time with them (enough, anyhow).

It’ll be quite a boon to mental health in that generation as well.

I have student loan debt. However, at this point in my life, I have a good job and can manage it. That said, there was a point in my life right after grad school where I was just getting pummeled to the point where it was a huge source of stress. By some great luck, though, someone was able to come in and consolodate…

If you still haven’t gotten a job after a few years as an adjunct, I’m sorry but it’s usually that your vita just isn’t good enough.

You touched on something that is super important and rarely talked about.

This article hits close to home for me, and I have a lot of thoughts— many similar to those in the comments below. After my PhD, I got a postdoc— which is better than adjuncting in that you are just working at one place and you get benefits, but they pay was still dismal. But after 6 years of postdocing, it is clear…

Two things: as an Oklahoman who left the state some time ago, I’m with you re the “I love my home state—I do—but it’s the kind of enduring love you have for a relative that you really don’t want to talk to except on holidays” thing.

Honest question, because I don’t know how international trade works: What does it even mean for a nation to purchase a bunch of agricultural products?

Odd move. Going from making a lot of money for doing nothing to not making any money for doing anything doesn’t make sense. 

Republican Representative Steve Hurst, who has proposed variations of the measure since 2006 said he believes this is appropriate punishment. “If they’re going to mark these children for life, they need to be marked for life,”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of fans act that way in the NBA- or even the NFL

As a guy with “geographic tongue” I can tell you that I struggle with heat. So while I in theory love things like Indian or Mexican or whatever, I almost always die when I try it as it’s supposed to be and always hope that there is an option for people like me. Sadly, many places don’t. I can’t order the chili in my…

I went to college in Philly, but grew up in Oklahoma and every summer at the end of classes I’d fly home to the incredible heat and humidity of the Great Plains in the summer. My dad was a huge golfer, and knew the superindendent of the local country club (as much as a small college town in Oklahoma can call it as…

It’s a bold statement when someone gives tens of millions to a school he didn’t attend and then says “don’t go there because they are a bunch of Christofascists.” And it’s an even bolder statement when said school opts to return that money. Like, it takes a lot for a university to return cash. In this case, the…
