The not-obvious thing to people unaffiliated with biz higher ed, and you know this, is how what you get is very different by major (instructor too). I teach Intro Mktg (all biz majors) w/ a heavy emphasis on history and culture. I know some students never get that anywhere else bc they tell me.

I talked about this yesterday in my Intro course. I remain jaw-dropped that no one there just said, "Hell naw! This is a bad idea." There's just no risk/reward to putting your CEO on camera in a transparent attempt to go viral. Just a bizarre self-own.

We let newspapers and TV news build their whole brand out of, "Ask that one person whose house got robbed what THEY think of your declining crime rates!" for decades. Not surprisingly, ppl find crime hysteria comforting.

Back in 2000, when I was in MA, a friend who worked at Holy Cross demanded I accompany her to his speech there (to πŸ™„, obv). Every public statement since then has been a derivative.

Has he ever struck a different note in a public speech than, "why do they hate me so much?"

Had I been paying any closer attention to the mess that now accompanies my emails I'd have reached the same conclusion. It is not unreasonable.

Srsly. Where is the uncertainty, really? If Ds were gonna oppose it, now is the time, and it's crickets. A few are signaling a failure to dot I's and cross T's, but not opposition.

They will kick you under the same bus before you even finish thowing somebody else. You will just under the bus together, talkin' 'bout, "I was voting *only* to throw others under the bus. But this. This is cruel and unjust."

As much as I despise that man, I have a tough time working up sympathy for anyone who bought his dumbass coin.

β€˜Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

β€œWe were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

A standard day at the office for the criminal punishment system. When we opened the first bail fund in SC history, sheriff dept staff initially refused to allow us to post for people, claiming it couldn't possibly be legal because why hadn't anyone ever done it before?
