I saw someone say to give them a C-, and, as a former adjunct, that is exactly what I'd have done, because I knew damned well that no university administration would support me under these circumstances. It's not fair, and it's not right, but it's definitely reality.
if this is discrimination, I’m genuinely unsure what you’re supposed to do when a student responds to a prompt with some religious gibberish
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Oh, come the fuck on! This is SO. GROSS.
Louis C.K. isn’t too cancelled to perform several sold-out shows of his new comedy show at the Beacon, but cancelled enough that, if you manage to snag a ticket, you might not want to brag about it to your co-workers.

In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

This man trapped folks in rooms to make them watch him masturbate and they are trying to ask if the show is good enough to make that’s measurable trade

My older sister forced me to watch Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead when I was in high school, and that fact basically explains my taste in theater.

“Co-authored by an MIT economist, the study finds that, per capita, immigrants are about 80 percent more likely to found a firm, compared to US-born citizens,” MIT News reported in 2022. Altogether, immigrants make up one in five business owners, the New American Economy said in 2019 👇🏽
Did you know immigrant-led businesses contribute $1.3 trillion in sales?

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.

I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

Just read about a book deal for what sounds like a flippant version of the MS of mine that died on sub, and... yeah. Writers aren't supposed to talk about these things, but it took me THREE YEARS to get over that book not selling. And now I'm happily writing again, but... Ugh. Barf. Blah. Blergh.

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
