It’s depressing how today’s movies and shows think the audience is so stupid. This character just spelled out the entire plot while talking to a dog. A pretext to erase all doubt about what is the most trite, obvious storyline in written language.

Amateur writers overuse the word HAD. Rid yourself of that word. It is a passive word. One writer used it three times in one sentence. I closed the book & shelved it under DNF.

This is the institutionalization of Turning Point's professor watchlist. It invites mass harassment and declares war on independent ideas. If unlearned sociopaths can influence your teaching through threats, academic freedom is essentially dead.
It’s the entire point. There’s no plan to make this meaningful for students. No plan to use it administratively. Its design and implementation signals its only real intent. It’s best and easiest use case is for systematic harassment and to scare faculty into complying in advance.
We know the students don’t read the syllabuses. So who will? Right-wing activists looking for excuses to hound profs.

"buying music is expensive but i wanna support artists and spotify is the only option for that" i have a tip for you:
pirate all the music you want. all of it. no matter how much. set aside each month a spotify subscription's worth of money and use that to buy something off of bandcamp or itunes.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

I like that Dalgliesh is gothic & less domesticated. Bertie Carvel's portrayal is fabulous. The juxtaposition of the compassionate erudite lead detective (who is also a poet) versus the asshole junior detective is interesting—obvious but interesting. I like it. Assholes need more mirrors.
Starting Dalgliesh. Another misogynist male detective as the asshole sidekick partner.

Republicans fought release of Epstein materials every step of the way, are now refusing to release the second strike boat video, and won’t let Jack Smith testify in public. They constantly hide everything they are doing from the American people.

Donald Trump is the worse most corrupt & incompetent president in US history. His administration reeks of corruption, incompetence, cruelty, greed, apathy, willful ignorance, stupidity, fascism, white supremacy, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, & racism.
