Nerdsplosion is back this week with a double whammy of episodes, the first covering #TheHuntForBenSolo drama. By drama I mean us taking the **** out of Disney for nearly an hour. We, like many, are upset at the news of this cancelled movie by Disney #HuntForBenSolo

Do republicans yelling at us about Bill Clinton realize most of us were children during his administration and legally prohibited from voting? lol
This is supposed to be some kind of gotcha? If he did bad things throw him in jail. I do not have Bill Clinton flags in my boat. (I do not have a boat).

It’s not too little too late, but she’ll have to spend the rest of her life working to undo the damage she helped cause for those apology to have any meaning

So like have an Imperial Officer infiltrate Saw’s Partisan Movement or a group similar to them
I really wish they'd make a Star Wars movie that was like a gritty anti-war story from the point of view of an enlisted or low level officer in the Imperial Navy, doing special ops against some kind of actually-morally-ambiguous enemy that isn't mainly the Rebels

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

He attacks science and higher ed, driving top talent to flee, then complains we don't have talent and must bring in immigrants with h1b visas that he's charging $100,000 a pop for.
He's ok with immigration so long as he can exploit and profit from it.

I do not like or respect any of the republican women who voted to release the files today, but I don’t think that a confirmed abuser should have been allowed to corner them in a room to pressure them into not telling everyone else about further abuse. Burn it all the fuck down man.

"Hiring professors with PhDs is meaningless if administrators are the ones deciding what gets taught,” he said. “Faculty will start asking not, ‘Is this accurate?’ but ‘Will this get me in trouble?’ That’s not education, it’s risk management.”

Leonard Bright, president of the Texas A&M Chapter of the AAUP said faculty were not consulted on the proposed changes, which he called “a direct violation” of their expertise + freedom to teach. “If that’s the case, there’s just going to be a further black eye on higher education here in Texas.”
Texas A&M to vote on banning “race and gender ideology”
The proposal appears to mark the first time a Texas university system offers definitions of what kind of instruction related to race and gender should not be permitted.

Exactly this. Republicans were exhibiting a classic hostage-taking strategy. Call them out on this. It's a monstrous thing to do to use starving kids as a political tool, but *especially* when you consider they did it to ensure that healthcare costs would go up. Truly evil shit.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."
