Hahaha what chair, Dean, and Provost has time for this shit?

Like I said at #ASHE - no chance I work at a Texas school my mouth gets me fired eventually and that's before I tell them to fuck off with something like this and/or create a class that just low-key trolls partisan content all the time.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

My milk toast, non-controversial Xmas movie take...

A Muppet Christmas is an inferior version of a Mickey Christmas Carol...

And both are inferior to Scrooged.

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

Haha with 393 followers on a platform that I can generate 300 followers with one shitty tweet praising ICE.

But seriously, this was just a ploy to fuck with that specific instructor and let these two women grift away. But she's gained 50-ish whole followers in the mean time!
As folks have noted in the replies, the student's mother is something of a MAGA public figure (and lawyer).

This is obviously a purposeful stunt to attack a trans graduate student, which is sick af and must be opposed on the grounds.

It is simultaneously an assault on university pedagogy.

So the governor of Oklahoma is pro-grade inflation it seems.

Also yes if the governor is gonna talk this shit anytime a conservative coded student bitches on social media about their shitty essay - ain't no point in not just passing everyone and going on with the day.

That will help, not like they're the core issue with voters right now
The president and the speaker are scrambling to promote a candidate in a gerrymandered Tennessee district Trump won by 22 points last year.

That’s the smell of panic in the air.

So far enjoying the new season of Stranger things but damn did the natural aging of the actors really take me out of all of it...

I mean they fucking look 30 now.

And some of these people really just can't act for shit now the "child actor" label is off... Looking at you Will.

Yea well expect more of this as the stupid group continues to fracture and die as it's very old, dickish leader falls further into a lot of shit due to his failing health and bad policies.

They're gonna talk and act more unhinged to squeeze all the remaining $ out of the faithful.
MAGA legal world, man…

Gorsuch and Grassley should be so proud.

If my parents said this shit to me with a straight face... We'd be completely done.

If you're that fucking stupid, I would have to believe I was adopted and you stole me from my real parents who would you know... Not be this fucking stupid.
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

Becky Lynch basically mocking Trump in her character is just outstanding shit...

"I'm the best female wrestler, everyone's saying it - Bleacher Report says it. Everyone is saying it."

While eating the tap out tonight, love it.

Haha it's hilarious.

All I see is one professor trying to combat the grade inflation that right wingers were so pissed about last week.

Good for them.

"But Caleb played like shit..."

Yup, and? The Eagles have an ass run defense, and this is what got the win. Good enough.
November 29, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Just a reminder there are students out there who intentionally write conservative coded essays to get this type of attention - mostly targeted at professors who ID as LGBQT+ and who are not White.

They're all trying to be the next internet darling and cash in while MAGA still has juice.
