“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!”

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Supervising professor: “she didn’t do the assignment”

The University of Oklahoma has stripped the graduate student who gave a failing grade to Samantha Fulnecky of instructional duties, calling their grading in this case “arbitrary.”

This is a disgraceful capitulation by a university to those who seek to destroy it.

it’s unsettling how many USians seem to think CECOT is unlike that prison your uncle works at in Colorado or Virginia or California or Alabama…
