Probably won't convert this to a wrestling account for a few reasons.
Stay here for sardonic takes, self-deprecation, top-shelf music recs and absolutely unhinged political raving.
I do want to still follow wrestle friends and see/support your stuff, however!

I made $40,000 per year as a two-year visiting assistant professor, eventually $49,000 per year in my tenure track job.
There's a three-hour director's cut story about why I left academia. The sentence above alongside moments like the post below are the eleven-second version.

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.
$53M is 575 assistant professors. Or more than thirty percent of the total number of full-time faculty at LSU.

Just literally - whoever had the financial say-so to green light this thing should single-handedly be taxed into having no more money than for rent and food. No entertainment. This might be the absolute most banal thing I've ever seen in my life.
Watching Christmas With the Kranks for the first time ever and we've had all the signs we've needed all along that rich people are absolutely not smart, huh.

And to be clear, I am not saying Republicans engaged in a false flag here - I'm saying that Republicans have little incentive to prevent terrorist attacks, because any terrorist attack creates a world of terrorist violence that terrorist organizations like the Republican party wish to create.

they won't. instead of begging the media to be good when they never will be, democrats should be condemning the press for being a propaganda ally of a regime hurting america.
Over and over, the mainstream press reports that Trump has secured a “trade deal” with a foreign country and every single time he’s just making it up.
