NBA players should protest by walking around the court during the anthem instead of standing still. There’s no precedent for the NBA punishing people for taking unsanctioned steps.

Forcing private citizens to stand for the National Anthem is the most perversely unpatriotic thing I can imagine. They are not military personnel. They are not representing the United States of America. A good number of them are not Americans. You want to play your little song, fine (not really, that’s also weird, but…

This is what white supremacy looks like. Insisting that players follow a certain political stance (standing for the flag, and the current breakdown of the social contract that it represents) under the guise of making things apolitical.

Does the NBA really draw heavily from that white supremacist fanbase? I really don’t know, but I’ve never gotten that sense. I have ALWAYS felt like the NFL fanbase is just full of racist conservative hicks. I have never gotten that impression from the NBA. I’ve always felt like most racist white people already don’t…

So last week I had to say I was “Team NFL,” and that made me queasy but it was fine because it was against “Team Trump.”

Yea I mean this involves woc so why should anyone care?

*sigh*

And I’m sure no one who cares about the VRA could possibly care about racist beauty standards. (Or vice versa.)

I’m a resume writer and I promise you can make the transition from academia. The key is to reframe your experience in the language of your target industry, to downplay or remove publications / presentations, and, most importantly, to paint a clear picture of how your skills will transfer to the target position. Do…

As a reminder, these are people teaching a roomful of students that pay well over the average income of a family to be at college. At $3K per course, teaching 10 students, the teacher is bringing in $30K per class per term for the university. If they teach two classes per term, that’s $120K per year. They’re seeing…

It’s all the Puerto Ricans fault

It’s good that Cheeto Hitler finally did the right thing, but, my God. Only a monster who lives in a gold-plated bubble would have dithered for days, worried about protecting the interests of his wealthy buddies in shipping, while sick, elderly, and other vulnerable Americans drop dead from lack of electricity,…

do people not know that you can use punctuation after @-ing someone on twitter?

But this is exactly how the cycle works, especially in the last few decades. Republicans take charge and blow everything to hell by slashing taxes, destroying social programs, and starting wars that pour profits into the top 1%. When everything goes to hell, Democrats are voted in and are faced with the impossible…

“Republicans: pushing Trickle-Down Economics for over thirty-five years despite over thirty-five years of evidence that it doesn’t work.”

The same way the horrific health-care plans got stopped; by the Republicans being such assholes they can’t agree on whom to screw and how badly to screw them.

It’s basically the same economy he inherited from Obama. Pretty much full employment, wages kinda sluggish, growing fairly steadily, adding jobs fairly steadily.

but it’s the women and POC that play identity politics? Right?!

Trump increased the membership fee of Mar-a-Lago after winning the election.

If you’re not offended then this article isn’t about you.
