Until i see an art major take Differential Equations, Cal 1-3 and theory and stats plus linear algebra like all the other STEM subjects do. Art doesn’t belong in STEM, just like any “soft science.” I can’t wait to see what happens if/when Japan goes through what they are pushing. I know we (USA) would never go for…

Can’t the same thing be done by putting headphones over your belly? Or cranking up the car stereo? That’s how I introduced Duckling to music, from Ella Fitzgerald to AC/DC...

I’m sure to be in the minority but my first thought was “this is fucking cool”.

Can two actors with different roles be considered to do “substantially similar work”?

Eh, I get it. Not just from a theological standpoint (as the statement said, Catholics are pretty big on the reverence and small on the showboating during Mass), but considering that the average age of a Catholic priest in the US is 63 and the Church is responsible for all their short and long term healthcare costs,…

I dunno. I think there’s a fine line between entertainment and distraction. I think that this priest meant well, but may have crossed it.

. So long as “merit” can be a determining factor, you can’t institutionally try to dictate who’s a better actor than who.

I hate to sound like I’m an apologist for Rome, but my understanding of their theology is that the central act of worship is worship, not being culturally relevant. There are plenty of other times and places to be culturally relevant and judging by their numbers seem to be doing just that. If you look at the mainline…

I’m not sure what your post is about. The priest chose to do something his boss didn’t like. Priest apologized and promised not to do it again. Boss accepted the apology and is happy. If you don’t like it and are Roman leave, if the priest didn’t like it he could leave. Everyone is happy except you. What’s your…

This is funny and stupid, but also, as (an admittedly completely lapsed and non-believing) Catholic, I can understand why the Diocese didn’t appreciate this. Catholic services are solemn affairs, deeply embedded in tradition. This is kind of like wearing a clown nose to Mass.

How does “20 years to life” translate to “20 years at most”?

don’t want to get too involved here, but I’d like to point out that you just referred to something written on Jezebel as “proof”.

Considering Muslims are extremely backwars when it comes to rape, are you really fine with bringing over thousands of refuggees who think any woman that is raped should be punished?

I loved this. I loved ALL of this. I know I’m going to get slammed for kissing your ass Jia, but I don’t care. This is the piece I’ve wanted to read from a Jezebel EIC for a long time. The promotion has changed you for the better.

Welcome to the real world, kids. Nobody gets a break in the age of technology. I love how the one kid exaggerates and pretends like a hoax terror threat somehow equates to “we probably dying.”

Not so sure I see it as an open-and-shut 1A issue. It’s not saying they can’t go out and protest; it’s saying that if they don’t play football they lose their scholarship. Of course, the whole “compensation” system is jacked up from square one in that regard, exacerbated by the fact that school is fee-for-service…

I mean, you are getting the scholarship to participate in athletics. I think the bill is stupid as ADs could revoke scholarships for athletes striking if they were so inspired, but I think it would pass constitutional review. Although, that review may fuck the NCAA when they determine that athletes are basically…

Except this isn’t a first amendment issue. You are getting free college to play football. If you opt to not play football, you are no longer of value to the school.

Aside from the absurdity re: gender, it’s adorable that someone thought a recent MFA needs a full-time manager.

More like the recent MFA needs someone to help fill out welfare applications and letters to student loan companies asking for extensions.

Tim Marchman isn’t a writer. I think he tells his wife and family that. Perhaps himself. But, Tim Marchman is not a writer.
