God he has been an even bigger disappointment than I anticipated. 

we’re still saying “‘murica”, hmm?

You can hate on Musk, but he is certainly not “failing up”, he is the CEO of several major companies that he created and has created entirely new classes of products and services (including countless jobs). Say what you want, but you get rich like Musk by serving others….He provides products/services that people want…

Quashed not squashed. Oh god we lost so much when the internet killed newspapers and copy editors.

Yeah but someone told me my English degree with poli-sci minor was guaranteed to make $100k out of school and then put me in top management by 30. Therefore, the system is corrupt, and it's not my fault, because I wasn't fooled, I'm too smart to be fooled. 

I don’t think it’s unacceptable to expect people to pay off a loan they signed up for.  I payed mine....

Nope. Not buying your sob story. You took out the loans, you knew the repayment schedule, you knew your crappy degree wouldn’t produce a job to pay back what you owed. You also had two years to figure out a repayment plan, refinance, or save for your payments to resume.

I hate guns, I hate people with guns (no offense to anyone here who owns guns), I hate open and concealed carry laws, I hate the NRA, and I kind of hate the Second Amendment. But I try really hard to not let my political, moral, or social values color my perception of facts. And I thought the facts in this case…

What bothers me most is that based on what a shitshow the trial has been, I think he probably should be acquitted. But I also know that the prosecution has basically handed it to him. And even with this shitshow of a trial a brown person almost definitely wouldn’t be acquitted.

Fight the power, burn down Mom & Pop’s Diner and the only affordable housing within 20 miles.

You are obviously pretty uninformed, so let me help educate you. “Critical Theory” came out of the Frankfurt School in Germany in the early 20th Century. This was a belief system centered on the Marxist notion of a constant struggle between an “oppressed” and an “oppressor” class. The supporters of communist ideas at…

There was no time for the officer to have chosen another course such as pulling his baton and disarming the the young women instead before at least one stab if not more. I do believe that officers choose to shoot way to often out of too much fear that has been trained into them. However, in this situation no option…

She was literally about to stab someone with a knife.

The process of removal is long and painful.

What is the appropriate penalty for white people appropriating a different race in order to gain advantage? Is it different when it’s a political candidate that you like vs a random person?

Then we eagerly await the logical next step: the cancellation of Elizabeth Warren.  To behave otherwise would be inconsistent.

Because Acedemia is the only place besides politics where saying you were raised by 3 Hopi polyamourous lesbian goat herders or whatever will get you something other than a boss telling you "who gives a shit- get back to work"

We eagerly await the article on Elizabeth Warren's heritage.
