Love how these fucking tools don’t address one word of the criticism levied at them by Kat.
Fuck the Tribune.

From the Editorial Board: Kat Abughazaleh made a show of declining (sending a spokesman, for goodness sake) to be part of the editorial board’s endorsement interviews after first informing us she would attend.

I work with a real jerk, can't stand him, don't even think he knows my name. Today he's suddenly the nicest guy here. Knows my name, knows everyone's name. He's playing the piano. Just saw him surprise a young couple with wrestlemania tickets.

It's an exciting week when half the academics who pen bestselling works of vast expanse and authority on hot topics have clearly spent their time assuring a convicted pedophile who can barely write a sentence how brilliant he is.

Something tells me that eventually we are going to learn that Gamergate and Comicsgate also sprung from that den of pedophiles and I am simply going to walk into the ocean with thoughts of yellow wallpaper.
Considering that 4chan's /pol/ board was the originating website of the #EndFathersDay hoax that directly led to #YourSlipIsShowing
& that /pol/ was started because of an email between the site's founder and Jeffery Epstein
This means that Epstein has a direct effect on my life & Shafiqah's life.

I hate that it's impossible to tell if a company is supporting Trump out of greed, racism, or the desire to hide a CEO's pedophilia anymore.

How we defining “hard” here? Gaiman was an easy fucking decision but also the biggest impact on, like, the culture I’ve absorbed and media I enjoy, and I don’t even really fuck with Sandman.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

This is one of my favorite comics so few people know about.
Reading it and Busiek/Immonen’s Secret Identity are what caused me to rethink Superman, who has since become my favorite hero.

This is always a concern to me as a science teacher, especially in physics, a science that the average person doesn’t know a ton about.
I don’t know why people wouldn’t start off any entry-level class this way specifically
Maybe not math, although I’d personally lead with it if teaching calculus.

Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.

But it should have been an open call to the community, initiated months ago. Not 6 days prior.
HCD is important to me. I take pains to plan in advance and ensure I have childcare, that I’m not on deadline, and that I can bring together local artists to draw in community.
