that’s unfortunately the case in Canada as well :/

I wonder how long it will be until someone works “J’accuse” into a headline about this. It kind of fits perfectly

I feel bad for laughing, but your gallows humour is on point

What many people here are saying is that operating revenue is extremely lopsided towards the admin pay side, which is also in that category. At my uni and many others, every deanlet used to appoint an increasing number of people under them because their pay corresponds with the number of people they oversee. The…

At my old university they replaced books with rows and rows of desktop computers. Now everyone has laptops, so they took away hundreds of valuable books and spent tons of money for nothing

Don’t forget to add state funding (I’m assuming at $3k a course it would be a public university, as private universities often cost more), alumni funding, and extra tuition from international students to that. Also, as someone down thread pointed out, it’s usually way more than 25 students per course. Most people I…

I suppose this is a logical extension of Fall/Winter 2017's key offerings, among them the “oversized shearling coat” look that if not overtly trolling, wrongly assumes that anyone has forgotten about Ikea Monkey. See my hastily-assembled juxtaposition below for full fashion industry trolling appreciation :P

Agreed, and I find that offerings of basic wardrobe staples are actually really good this season? For so long you could not find much selection at all for work pants. Finally the retailers are realizing that not everyone wants to wear jeans all the time, nor do they want to look like a boring work stiff in a cheap…

Those numbers are not negligible; I could compare the 23k number to a number of other key demographics in our country and it would be similar. Also if they are not outliers from other Indigenous nations in Canada (Statscan only indicates all First Nations and Inuit population numbers together in most studies) their…

Lots of Mohawk people in Eastern Canada and Northeastern U.S. actually. Mohawk and Algonquin are def. the two Indigenous nations I know the most people from in my area. I have no idea how they feel about punk mohawks — Coachella-type fake headdresses seem to unanimously induce eyerolls of disapproval but I gather…

That’s an epic reason to copy someone’s penmanship style, lol. Much respect

“Pop musicians making a comeback after being in a bad situation” is a surprisingly popular genre this season. However, this unexpected collab between double bad situation experiencers Kesha and Eagles of Death Metal is my pick for catchiest and best of the bunch. Unfortunately, you know Sony is not going to give it…

I read somewhere that that song was originally pitched to and rejected by Janet Jackson. Can you imagine?? Studio execs being like “okay, Janet, here’s the concept...” and her no doubt just being like “I’m a WHAT?!” O_o

“[ . . . ] reducing several cultures to a dichotomy of either extreme, uncontrolled wealth and decadence, or poverty and primitivism.” I only will speak to the case of the UAE (since the vid was shot in Dubai and political systems in the Middle East are basically as varied as any other region) but that dichotomy of…

Word is that this is exactly what his fireable offence was — giving Breitbart insider info to suit his own advantage and bring down his rivals

Politico said it was because Bannon leaked shit continually to Breitbart in order to undermine McMaster and was found out. I believe that more than the “cover for being racist” thing because I think we’ve seen just how little Trump cares about being seen as racist at this point

MOUSEBENDER:
It’s not much of a cheese shop, is it?
WENSLEYDALE:
Finest in the district, sir.
MOUSEBENDER:
Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please.
WENSLEYDALE:
Well, it’s so clean, sir.
MOUSEBENDER:
It’s certainly uncontaminated by cheese.

To paraphrase Ru Paul, we are all born naked — everything else is drag

Raaaaaaage

Agreed 100%. And as a tenant paying the same amount as many in that building (in another country with the Queen as head of state), I’ve personally witnessed both the systemic indifference to tenants from all levels of government and the astonishing levels of sociopathic greed by landlords that directly jeopardize…
