This is just my opinion, but I don't think departments need to change their strategy for reading or grading student work.
Departments need a strategy for responding to harassment and attacks.

“Democratic leader’s proposed alternative to MAGA comes from a venture capitalist’s book title” is so on the nose it sounds made up. These people have anti-juice.
It’s been years since they’ve had a normal conversation with a normal person. They can’t remember what it’s like. They’re so cooked.

No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.

People argue and deny this because it's terrifying to accept that you are one random bad luck incident away from being dependent on a food pantry and applying for rent or mortgage assistance, and a couple of random bad luck incidents from losing absolutely everything. It's scary. It's also real.
I can’t believe you idiots are still arguing with me about this. Idc what your job is paying you now, you still have to labor for your money. You’re working class.
All it takes is an unfortunate accident or illness for you to be in the poor house. Medical debt and fallout would cripple you. Stfu.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Right. This slogan is the product of quantbrain loserdom: believing that things that poll well can replace leadership and vision.
We need real leaders who will give an actual vision for change.
Jeffries is the head of Team Quantbrain Status Quo and he needs to go.

“Strong floor, no ceiling” is absolutely the type of slogan that a focus group of swing voters will tell you they find appealing after it has been a whole hour and they just want to go home.
It’s a slogan for people convinced this country *really* wants a Mike Bloomberg presidential campaign.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Most people with Covid brain damage do not know they have Covid brain damage or don’t link their persistent new onset cognitive problems with a Covid infection. Same with post-Covid increased aggression - people don’t realize they’ve changed but standardized evaluation picks it up

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.
