My guess is he’s working off of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat”

I don’t know about brain bleeds, but I know as far as concussions go you’re supposed to make the questions a bit more challenging, i.e., “Spell your name without any vowels”, “Count backwards from 30 by 3s”, etc. Apparently you want to avoid questions that can get automatic answers, so you should ask questions that…

I have certain images lodged in my brain—Ramona and her father drawing their feet, Henry’s dog getting locked in the bathroom, etc. I loved those books! I’m going to have to dig them out next time I’m at my parents’ house.

A big part of it has to do with intergenerational trauma. For over a century, First Nations, Metis, and Inuit children were forced to leave home and attend residential schools, which were designed to stamp out their cultures and languages. Child abuse—physical, sexual, emotional—was endemic to these schools, and many,…

Exactly. So much of it is about inherited pain and trauma, and here in Canada you can’t overstate how much of an impact the residential schools have had. For about seven generations or so, children and youth were taken from their families and raised among strangers in horrible conditions. It’s no wonder many of them…

I don’t know—I think the reason those two questions are paired here is because they were a big part of how Foos (and to some extent, Talese) justified his spying on people. I also don’t think those questions are unrelated at all. Nowadays, research ethics go hand in hand with research design, and it isn’t really…

Yeah, but it seems to be a pretty common sentiment among players in the draft. My cousin is in the draft this weekend and he said that there’s naturally been a lot of talk between prospects re: “Where do you want to go/Where do you not want to go?” and Flint is at the bottom of the list every single time.

TBH the exceptions are pretty limited, which is why so many of these jackasses think they can get away with this kind of shit. Most institutions wouldn’t consider firing an option unless there was hard evidence and/or the person was charged with a crime. That said, I do know of an older case (not sexual assault, but a…

Technically, tenure is supposed to protect professors’ jobs in disputes over free speech. However, if he’s charged with a crime, they could probably fire him. Whether they will, of course, remains to be seen.

“He responded by saying that philosophers Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger had had a career-long love affair, and that “if done right, professor and student relationships are supposed to [be] intimate,” according to the complaint.”

Not by a long shot—if there’s a Florida of Canada, it’s Hamilton, ON.
