Our malicious legislature is hellbent on destroying public education generally and liberal arts specifically, and they abuse our flagship state university to cover their destructive agenda. Too bad the clowns who run UNC-CH are happy to oblige.
Also, shout out to the great reporting at The Assembly!

I like that movie for the most part despite not typically liking Bette Davis, but the Durante storyline jumps the shark.

I use it online when there are character limits. I guess I’m naive because this is the first I’ve ever seen it as bad form, but my goodness, this thread is teaching me something.

The “actual vampire” quip discredits the point. A former Gov who had broad popular support and was endorsed, or at least not repudiated, by the NY political class was not an actual vampire. As useless as “Trump didn’t win; Clinton/Harris ran a bad campaign.”
Poor form to fit his win into this frame

The Simpsons had an episode where Lisa has a crush on Nelson and at some point she kinda has a “what am I even doing here?” moment.

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you to the right side of history.
But I know, darling, that you do
