I definitely know they do via college job boards, so this doesn’t seem like so much of a stretch.

I’m hoping someone in the family’s got pipes. Bless PrezBO’s heart—it really is in the right place—but it ain’t him...

But this is the exactly the problem. Ideally, yes. But the world at large doesn’t operate that way and many with an urgent need for justice don’t have time to wait for those failing to do their jobs to catch up or count on their being replaced.

This is the kind of small thinking that’s undermined our military effectiveness. It’s time to bring “kinetic power” into the 21st century.

The look Obama gave DP while waiting through his exceptionally long-winded/condescending lecture about tone almost made it worth swallowing my reflexive vomit.

Counterpoint: Lessons from college seminars/discussion sections. People who raised their hands and waited their turns frequently found themselves locked out of the discussion by people who kept interrupting and talking over others to get their (often uninformed) points in. Playing nice doesn’t always get you heard.…

Really disappointed I’m not still in college and able to write “This Is Who You Came For: Calvin, Taylor, and the Ends of Conscious Uncoupling” for a dumb-ass freshman seminar.

My dog straight up rolled her eyes.

No, I would not like any of your literature today, thanks, have a good day.

Sign me up for the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie School of Life. Things I will no longer be performing: engagement, marriage, parenting, not wearing sweatpants to the corner store. I will perform sex but only because there seems to be no way out of that one.

Family Guy has been much worse than South Park about turning minorities of all stripes into punchlines, but SP’s more three-dimensional evolution has only been recent (I say as a recent SP fan after years of suspicion). If the only time certain types of people are showing up is to serve as the punchline to a joke (or…

I didn’t think I could crush harder on her, then her hiring process/philosophy comes out. If more employers (in entertainment and everywhere else) were focused on actual talent/potential vs. networks/brands/credentials, our world would look so different...

When I actually heard them speak at this past Small Business Day (or something), I about fell out. Malia and Sasha have both somehow turned into young women because time but I’m not ready!

I love John Oliver and all, but America’s 240th is taking a back seat this year when it’s this girl’s (ahem, woman’s) 18th...

Same. I wasn’t aware my throat was capable of making the sounds it was until I started playing tennis.

Agreed. Automated transportation of any sort requires a serious level of perceptual reeducation before deployment/licensing. Just look to aviation. The expanding automation of cockpits has required continual crisis management retraining for pilots, and there have been a number of tragedies that have involved some…

This part resonated with me as well. As does the uneasy relationship to “gratitude” that those of us who are fortunate enough to make it when there are so many working hard. On the one hand, the position was earned, not granted. But on the other, when you recognize the crapshoot that college admissions often is, you…

“It’s going to be an extension of Obama but it’s going to be worse, because with Obama you had your guard up. With Hillary you don’t, and it’s going to be worse.”

The inclusion of the clip of GWB’s circular definition of tribal sovereignty was truly the cherry atop a delicious, delicious sundae.
