We want to put price sheets in ambulances so when you’re bleeding out and minutes from death you can do some bargain shopping like a real American.

I have friends and family in both administration and faculty positions at struggling schools. This is exactly right. Cutting majors just leads to a death spiral of dropping enrollment. I don't know that anyone has found a solution, but the thing they keep doing is exactly what DOES NOT WORK.
You know why these glowing stories about innovative austerity by university administration pisses off all the faculty? All of them? It's not because it's about firing faculty--you've clearly never been to a faculty meeting if you think there's solidarity internally! It's actually much simpler!

I wonder if Sean Duffy knows that the wood paneling on the side of 70s station wagons was not real wood. There’s no reason, besides taste, that you couldn’t put wood paneling decals on the side of any car today. No need to change mileage standards.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

'Hoax' = This is a damning indictment of me and my illegal activities. Stuff I really did.

They are seriously trying to uncancel Jeffery Fucking Epstein.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

In a 19th Century novel called The Monk, a monk strikes a deal with the devil who promises eternal life. The monk executes the devil’s plans but in the end (spoiler alert) the devil takes form of a taloned flying beast, swoops down, snatches him by the skull & carries him to hell. Bc the devil lies.

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
