I haven’t (and most likely won’t) watch the recently released video but I swear I can hear that “fucking bitch” in my head clear as day. The snarling hate and disgust. Every woman has heard it.

We committed a crime today in Venezuela. On top of the other crimes we’ve committed in attacking boats. When the general public came around to the fact that Iraq did not have WMDs, the discourse shifted to needing to remove Saddam from power because he was a dictator. This is that. Whether or not

UNC should maintain these centers because it is the right thing to do, but historians will also note that these centers across the US were founded for national security reasons in order to produce scholars, officers, and policymakers knowledgeable about the world. They weakened a country today.
This is absolutely catastrophic for research in the humanities and social sciences. Not only are these centers crucial sources of the limited research funding we have as grad students, but they have been interdisciplinary intellectual homes for so many of us at UNC. dailytarheel.com/article/a4ee...

I can think of at least three (at least) reasons to give that OU student a bad grade for that “essay” that have nothing to do with the content of it. It reminds me of that kid who filed a lawsuit against affirmative action for not getting into her dream school when she was a C student.

I’d rather bring back someone who’s good at the job.
As travelers head to the airports this holiday season, the U.S. government wants them to rethink their travel checklists, their behavior — and also, their outfits. It's a part of a new campaign by Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, that he called “The Golden Age of Travel Starts With You.”

This makes me want to keep not going to Target rather than coming back.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

The Jewish Studies program at Indiana deserves better, more qualified leadership. As an alum, this makes me quite sad.
In Indiana, a vaunted Jewish studies program is upended by red-state politics over Israel and speech - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
A leadership shakeup, a defunded graduate student and political pressure from above have turned a storied program into a flashpoint for Trump-era campus politics.
