Honestly, it's the bear's house now. Sure, the homeowners can try to live there until the bear files for eviction, but under bear law, possession (i.e., living in the home's crawlspace) is ten tenths of the law.
The bear that moved into a home’s crawlspace more than a week ago in Altadena is not budging: despite numerous attempts by the homeowners to keep him out, the animal is staying put.
Unbearable living situation: Bear under Altadena home showing no signs of leaving
“I feel nervous all the time,” homeowner Ken Johnson said. “I’m always looking over my shoulder to see if he’s coming out.”

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment.

The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

bugs are a class of animal where it is completely normalized to perform gruesome murderous disgust at their existence, to the extent that its a relatable cutesy joke to say "kill it with fire" and I find that weird! why's everyone just ok with it, why don't ppl try and work past that fear.

Everyone saying ”giving that essay a zero was probably too harsh, I would have given it like a 70% to avoid conflict” are perfectly demonstrating how the us education system has been successfully dismantled.

Why? is this your kids first sports day?
“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages

not to run a bit of a tangent off of dr andrews here but this is always so funny to me. "fairness in sports." like you know fuck all about that. like there are more than a few thousand people on earth who do. like those people are at all interested in 99% of high schools, much less middle schools

Look as a constitutional law professor I gotta tell you that no college essay should receive anything less than a C. Now let’s talk about the constitutionality of naptime and no I don’t think this is a waste of time when America is just merking civilians overseas and rounding up women and children

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

The question here is not "do I disagree with an instructor giving a student who didn't seem to read the article a zero," it's "do I disagree with vile slurs against an instructor who gave a student—who did not seem to read the article or follow the assignment—a zero." I think the question matters.

The thing about useful idiots in professional spaces is that the whole game, from the perspective of the fascist, is to constantly game them into taking ”innocuous” positions on any given day’s culture war issue, thus forcing them to perpetually conflict with everything left of the fascists.

I would suggest you go back to college then because things like "supporting your arguments with facts" and "citing your sources" is some shit you learn in high school, and if that essay passes for anything other than a barely literate op ed, I would have serious concerns about the institution

Trans genocide is fundamentally premised on the elimination of trans people from public life. Purging trans people from all sorts of workplaces — forcing them into the trifecta of "NGO job, artist, or sex worker" from yesteryear — is one such means of genocide.

(OU = Oklahoma University, in the US)
every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

This kind of cowardice tells every student everywhere —& their parents— that they can have a teacher fired asap if they either (a) dislike what they perceive to be the “politics” of a given area of expertise or (b) don’t like the grade they got for their half assed work in that area or (c) both

I hope this graduate student finds a different psych program to join next year. They deserve better than an institution that will throw them under the bus for failing a poorly done assignment.
