Keys to a Gus Johnson nickname
—not a pun or a reference to anything
—almost catchy, but not quite
—makes you think “oh I didn’t know that was his nickname” and then you google it and nobody has ever called the player that before

There’s a great British movie where the butler takes over a gentleman’s life through debauchery and I hate that I can’t remember the name now
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Northwestern and Columbia being famous for journalism and bending over for Trump seems a little too on the nose these days
This is the second largest payout from a private university to the Trump admin yet, second only to Columbia’s $200m

“Long before Hoover denounced King as a liar, the NYPD issued a surveillance report on the civil rights leader’s visit to Harlem in 1958, with other memos to follow in the early 1960s. Rank-and-file organizers supporting King received unwanted attention as well.“

“Cancellation limbo”: when you’re definitely not cancelled but not as celebrated as you used to be. This is one reason why “cancel culture” discourse is so tiresome: a lot of people are using it to mean “my life was affected in some negative way by my actions”

A swift slap across the back of the head has amazing corrective results
My oldest nephew thinks it's perfectly fine to use the word BECAUSE it upsets people so much. He drops it into his conversation all the time. Short of banning him from all family gatherings (which his mother will not do, of course) all we can really do is not react; it's what he wants.

Naw, they only care when it hits close to home.
I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Still at $1255.12

No donations yesterday, of all days

I don't think we're gonna make this goal, either. Fucking hell. So much help and it's still not enough.

Please. Please boost.
I've put it off too long

In three days we won't have money for heating fuel, feed, or groceries. We're basically fucked. I need a goal of $2000 by the end of November, about $500 of that needs to be immediate, and we've never made a goal before.

Please help.

Well, for the few of you who haven't muted me already, I'm about to post our MA needs again. Put it off as long as we could.

This whole thread is really interesting, but this in particular blows my mind: I can’t quite get my head around a desire to write – a desire so concrete, students are spending huge sums of money to study the craft as undergraduates – without a desire to read?
I've never encountered more students who say they hate reading. Students who want to be teachers, writers, or both. I wonder if "hate" means "I have trouble reading," but I also talk with so many students who write in a genre but refuse to read in it. They can't see themselves in relation to others.

It was jarring to hear Joe McBride only yesterday talk about film students who have little interest in watching movies or even TV.

It’s tiresome and repetitive but I think it may be imperative every time fascism tells this fundamentally antisemitic lie that every Jew who knows even a bit of what’s what—I know a bit—says explicitly “this isn’t for me. It’s against me & everyone human.”

After a year full of hip-hop rivalries — Kendrick vs. Drake, Cardi vs. Nicki, and more — insiders wonder whether rap beef is the key to marketing music, or a phenomenon that risks ruining the culture.
