France was robbed!!!! That is all.

This is a really interesting take on the Annie-June interaction. My original interpretation of the affair paralleling June’s actions which have consequences for others (Omar, Ofglen 2), is that she is being gaslit to be convinced that the consequences of her actions are 100% directly her fault, that the responsibility…
As much as it’s painful to watch American democracy crumble, there is some hilarity in that Republicans are now turning on each other.
A million stars for the Karl Popper cartoon. Should be mandatory reading in high school
Everyone seems to be going back and forth on JT v JC hotness, but god damn has anyone seen how Lance Bass has aged fantastically? He was always too boyish looking for my preferences but damn, that beard and hairstyle plus a little mid-30s weight gain has really brought out the hotness!
Canada and New Zealand resent that statement as representatives from “English-speaking countries holding their shit together”
I think the author is pointing more towards structural forms of racism (institutional racism) than individual-level racism. Sure, if you aggregate opinions you may be able to measure the impact of cultural factors, but as another commenter pointed out, it is hard to measure racism and prejudice. There are measurements…
You fucking fuckity fuck asshole shitbag!!!!! Hatch’s fucking narrative that he doesn’t want to fund a program for people who don’t work doesn’t fucking make any sense whatsoever. CHIP is for WORKING FAMILIES! It’s for families who earn too much to be eligible for Medicaid - in some states you are eligible if you earn…
It’s already way more expensive to visit National Parks than the Louvre - the Louvre has a €15 ($17.75) entrance fee. I guess if you include flights, maybe? But flying to the Tetons from Toronto is much more expensive than flying to Paris. If I went in November it’s $615 to fly to Paris, while it’s $685 to fly to…
Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to say, except with a lot more expletives.
I can’t stand Seth McFarlene and his dude bro sense of humour, and the especially douchey “We saw your boobs” at the 2013 academy awards, but today I will give him his kudos for his callout at the same awards show: http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/11/seth-macfarlane-harvey-weinstein-jessica-barth/
RIP CHIP. It was a great program. Lil’ diff was insured by CHIP while Mr. Diffside and I completed our PhDs and it was a lifesaver. Even with Obamacare subsidies, our monthly premiums would have been around $900/month with a $12,000 out of pocket maximum for our family of three, making it difficult to pay for any…
The students often find that kids movies and shows in present day are a lot better than 20 years ago, but there’s still subtle stereotypes - how female characters are portrayed as shrewd or nagging, how minority characters are either non-existent or if they’re there they’re secondary or background characters. Most…
I really don’t think you deserve a response since you called me a moron and you’re probably just a troll looking to pick a fight, but since you took the time to post links I’ll take a chance that maybe you’re not. The list is actually quite longer than the examples I gave above - about 30 items in total. I also…
Exactly - how do you know racism exists if you’ve never been asked to observe it and see it firsthand? You should see their reactions when I have them find negative stereotypes in children’s media as a presentation assignment. One uber conservative student announced that I had“ruined” Disney movies for her forever at…
Eh, I do a similar “privilege scavenger hunt” for my SOC 100 class, but it’s carried out in a way that conservative students don’t seem to get too upset about. Instead of asking them directly to think critically about their white privilege I do it in a more discreet way: they’re asked to go to a mall, or Target, or…
Rich white people are the WORST racists. Having taught Intro to Sociology for several years to lower-middle class rural white kids, who came into the classroom with varying degrees of racist beliefs, it was not hard to open their eyes to systematic oppression when explaining the origins of racism, prejudice and…
This is some Stasi GDR-era bullshit. However, I take comfort that history will remember this bullshit. Germans today can visit the Stasi headquarters and have access to their personal file, if one exists: “Every individual has the right to request to view his own personal file. Limited access to records on missing or…
CFL!!! CFL!!! CFL!!!
