Yeah, they couldn’t really go after her directly on race....but absolutely could mention her opposition to reforms and allow the audience to connect that to racial issues. 

But now the question is who will go after Kamala’s record as a prosecutor.

“Left a steaming pile of rubble?” Too dramatic She won the exchange handily. With it being a personal issue for her, it made for a really powerful moment that she can capitalize on. Biden, for some inexplicable reason, was not prepared. He legitimately seemed surprised to have to answer to that....which is baffling…

Delayed response. I’m not sure that being an adjunct, itself, is or has been a “black mark” that directly HURTS an applicant. It’s more that adjuncting means that, unless they have some financial support and are only teaching a modest number of hours (or capable of surviving on no sleep), they won’t have the time to…

How do you know they did not?  None of these are quotes.

Why because you think Deadspin would fuck up the process of asking people for a comment? That would never happen. (Spoiler alert: It totally happened with the Cory Gardner story when they asked his congressional office and not his campaign for a comment)

The problem with that comparison is that adjuncting is obviously not intended to be a career, nor has it ever been. Adjuncting has existed, traditionally, for people who have a job and want to make some money on the side teaching a class. It is not a gateway for full-time professorships. It never has been. The crux of…

As a Spurs fan, can we please stop with the “Spurs draft an international player who will probably be great for them” crap? Since Tony Parker in 2001,Spurs international picks have almost only been misses. The only good ones were immediately traded. Basically, Tiago Splitter is the only one that contributed anything…

PhD student in psych here. Good on you for being honest with them and having that conversation. I think you hit on something extremely important: Older, current faculty are likely oblivious to how out of balance the “PhD grads to tenure track positions” ratio is because they haven’t been in that market for 30-40…

You nailed what I was trying to say in another post. I will acknowledge that giving up on your dreams is emotionally difficult. Plus, as someone going through a PhD program now (thankfully one that I can choose practice/application rather than academia), I can’t imagine how prone you are to the sunk-cost fallacy after…

>>That certainly explains some and/or most of it. I’ve never heard a parent say (or considered myself when looking at colleges with my daughter) that I really wanted a University with a bloated administration.<<

For one, the article leads you to believe that full-time positions are being turned into adjunct positions. That is not really the case if you disregard for-profit schools, which used almost exclusively adjunct professors (see article below and bear in mind that about half of the “part time” faculty positions are…

I think much of what you are talking about is driven by a shift in what students and parents expect colleges to provide. This has led to things like multimillion dollar student recreation centers, state-of-the-art dorms, and extensive student affairs/activities staffs. People care more now about the university as a…

I get that it is a hard choice. But the writing is so clearly on the wall for people like this that it’s honestly painful to read. If you have to take an adjunct position PERIOD, it’s highly unlikely that you will become full-time. If you are still an adjunct after 3-4 years, it’s over. Move on to your backup plan.  Th…

Not sure why I am even bothering, as this will not make it out of the grays. I’ll preface this by saying that yes, adjunct professors are taken advantage of in a horrible way by universities—no question. I think this article and Hamilton’s previous pieces address that issue better than I can. (Though full time…

I understand not easing up. But how about not celebrating the 9th goal like you just fucking scored the game winner in the World Cup final?

She looked like she had the reaction time of me shitfaced at 2 AM and her feet appeared to be in quicksand.  I get that there’s not a lot that she could have done on those but she was so late even reacting to some of those--that first goal in particular, she didn’t even turn her shoulders until the ball was passing in…

The celebration after the 9th goal was an absolute joke.  I don’t even believe that she was that excited about the goal.  I would have laughed my ass off if she pulled a Bill Grammatica and hurt herself celebrating a meaningless goal. 

Yeah, you have got to be fucking kidding me with the celebration after the 9th goal.  That was ridiculous.  I don’t even believe that she was that excited about the goal. 

If I was an ump, Rendon would have been gone the second he pointed his finger at the spot. The bat is a no-no.  This is the equivalent of calling an umpire a cocksucker.  You know what the result is and that you deserve  the outcome.  Also....this pitch was inches off the plate. You can’t allow players and managers to…
