Roger Ailes consistently and systematically visited great harm upon others. I do not mourn his departure.

This is great. Apparently 意見交換会 (Swapping of the Minds/Idea-Exchanging Party) has become a trending phrase in Japan.

They go through all that and end the article by congratulating her again. This was my zen today.

Conservative dad in sitcom: “What, I have to be conscious of other people now?”

Subject: Our talk last night

The worst thing in that regard is that those adjuncts are, in fact, well-educated, and largely passionate about their fields. There’s a pool of able candidates being burned out and burned through because of the gulf between the amount of work and education their jobs require and the pay and benefits they recieve.

I feel like that’s a given for anything in Lynch’s oeuvre.

At any rate, Eraserhead is pretty remarkable for how well it communicates despite its abstractions. David Foster Wallace actually had a great bit about it at the beginning of his essay on Lost Highway, in which he comments on how he’d walked out of the…

If this is a serious question, then yes, absolutely.

Did I wake up in a universe where Eraserhead doesn’t exist?

Man, imagine if Lynch had gotten REALLY weird before the late ‘90s.

I was just going to say. As someone who does not at all enjoy the effects of weed, especially in relation to its interactions with latent anxiety, I have had some fantastic experiences on Molly and have heard positive things about psilocybin from people who share my temperament.

So, here’s the issue: She was being hosted by the College Republicans. The problem with these speakers is that they’re often arranged by student groups, and the university has a vested interest in bringing in speakers that appeal to their student organizations. On the other hand, and this was particularly true with…

That’s so odd. I’m not religious, so maybe I’m missing something here, but you’d think that acknowledging historical details, or simply admitting that the exact time of the resurrection wasn’t known (or even that people didn’t possess easy ways of measuring time back then), wouldn’t diminish belief in the miracle.

“Now I am become Santa, the distributor of gifts.”

Weird. I’m a massive night-owl (my ideal sleep schedule would be like 2 a.m. to 9 a.m.), and that dress is white and gold in the original picture and you’re crazy if you try to tell me otherwise.

I used to draw during conference calls, mostly on sticky notes, and hold the finished pieces up for my officemate to see.

So long as it was within the Senate’s power to change its own rules via majority vote, wasn’t this an inevitability? It’s just amazing the system was able to ride on good faith and a degree of level-headedness for the two centuries it did.
