Here's what's funny: they CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE between Bari and someone who is good at their job
I do think it's funny that billionaires spent untold amounts of money and influence to turn CBS News into a propaganda organ and their chosen herald's big idea is to run the network like it's a high school newspaper in Anytown Indiana

i mean, the thing about this formulation is that it literally begs the question. what if one of those “average americans” is an advocate? or an expert? should they then be ignored?
ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.

One reason graduate students should apply to UC Riverside’s graduate program.
True. Mine, for example. And we don't require standardized test scores because they're more trouble than they're worth.

There seems to be a lot of confusion between “lots of professors who lack merit are being hired” (false) and “lots of people with merit are unable to find jobs as professors” (true).
This article advocates for the “Faculty Merit Act” that would — get this — require all faculty applicants to submit their *SAT* scores. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy shirts that’s hilarious.

If you walked into a store and asked for child porn. And they then created child porn and gave it out. Wouldn’t the owner of that store be arrested for created child porn?
Let’s say that man is the richest man in the world.
Why isn’t he being arrested?

It’s generally assumed that “Moby-Dick” has a canonical start date in December 1841, so there’s a good chance that Ishmael has entered the AME Zion church (then on South Second St, three blocks from the water) and the preacher he sees is Frederick Douglass. 🐋

Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.
