...in Catoosa, Oklahoma, (which is the most Oklahoma-y sounding place I've ever heard)

LÖL. Very poorly researched and executed troll. Kinja is just the commenting system interface, OK?

That's great something worked out after a streak of rough breaks and that you have a nice friend who really came through for you with more than just good wishes. Material assistance cannot be overrated.

Aren't you the person who told the Phd in comparative cultures to shut the fuck up and that, after teaching for 15 years, she didn't know what she was talking about or have the right to her opinion, or to educate her students in African-American studies because she was white? That's some shit-losing right there.

The fact that you had an opportunity here to make a statement about how globalization has caused even actual Asians to believe they are similar in appearance to one another and did not do so is disturbing. I know it's the holidays, but, work ethic.

LÖL. I'm on the SI and I wish those people and those unis were here. I kea did steal the lid of my thermos though so there's that.

The new Jezebel Crew loves adverbs, not accuracy.

That's true, my students who have grown up in the age of irony often retroactively apply skepticism to fairly straightforward material from the past...

Words cannot describe how much I hate that Cumberbatch douche. Don't assume everyone who reads Jezebel is a crazy cat lady. The reporter, I'm sorry, blogger, said she'd update the feed. She hasn't, and the original story remains incorrect. You probably haven't heard what with the new J.K. Rowling short story and all,…

We will update this post as more information becomes available.

Of course, I agree. Apple has always had great commercials, all the way back to Ridley Scott's "1984" ad...

It's called The Spectacle. You can't not be part of it, but you can be aware of it.

I have low blood pressure too, sometimes in the four digits. I'm sure we'll be happy for this tendency someday. However my fainting is just related to my psychological hypersensitivity I think. Yeah, I also used to pass out all the time as a kid, like, on the first day of school and stuff. Big fun.

It's Monday here in NZ and OZ. So in context it's a busy weekday pre holiday morning.

Last night was the first clear night in a long time where I live and we had a great view of the Geminids over the Pacific, which was full of bioluminescence and seals and whales...how people cannot be interested in and want to learn all there is to know about all the natural wonders all around is beyond me.

I faint all the time. I'm a damn fainter! I have an uncommon blood type (B-) so I tried often to give blood to the Red Cross when I lived in the U.S., and would faint from that; the last time, after letting me sit for about three hours and drink gallons of juice and eat tons of cookies, I still blacked out literally…

These posts would be greeted with ... well, they'd still be greeted with yawns, but... they'd be a lot more ethically palatable if GM would just add the "promoted content" tag. I'm not sure what kind of weird sponsorship agreement NBC Universal has with GM, but the imaginary conceit that people care about who was on…

I disagree with the other commenter re: it being your professors' job to micromanage your writing process on run-of-the-mill papers-

Well, the reality of the fact of the "conditions" is that even if you were just typing 50 pages, like literally just transcribing dictation or something, it would be a real physical challenge to do that by Tuesday, let alone write coherently, defend a good and original argument, and format footnotes and a…

You should maybe ask for an extension. There are some other profs on here and they'll tell you too that while we don't want the grads to do poorly, we also do not want to read a final project for a seminar that will be written under these conditions (let alone two, my Pan). If you are having a problem with…
