The *quality* of any given class is always up for debate. Especially when taught by TAs or profs with zero actual pedagogical knowledge or teaching experience.
That being said, I will always argue that a broad based liberal arts education produces better human beings, regardless of field/profession

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.

3/3 Also, if you‘re saying something is non-controversial, but you’re getting pushback? Maybe it’s time to engage those critical thinking skills you’re supposed to be learning and reconsider?

2/ And here’s the rub - you get to pick the classes. Don’t want to balance chemical equations? Don’t take chemistry as your science elective! Take food/nutrition science, take astronomy, take Gen Sci 101. If you’re enrolled in the class you registered for it. Did you not read the title/description?

Citation for that? I highly doubt that there is a 4 year university of quality anywhere in the world that does not have gen ed requirements designed to hopefully ensure a graduate well rounded in the arts and sciences.

Rather like MASH being more about Vietnam than about Korea, BSG was much more about Iraq/Afghanistan rather than space. While I still class GWB as a war criminal, he seems almost quaint in hindsight, “He only ignored the Constitution rather that actively trying to destroy it “ is quite the thought.

1. The use of “were” in the headline is deceptive - the place is still open and operating, amd, at a guess, torturing people.
2. What we allow will continue, what continues will escalate. We are more than inching from concentration camps to death camps, and I’m honestly not sure we aren’t there.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

“how can we do this is the cheapest and ugliest way possible”.
This idjit is tinkering around with appearances rather than really examining why people are pissy and stressed in them. Maybe bring in Temple Grandin, she could do for people what she did for cows, because that’s how we’re treated.

Having traveled internationally I can honestly say I could live happily in the Seoul Incheon Airport. But the difference between that airport and those here? It’s not the availability of a gym (it has one), its design and service from the bottom to the top. Starting with “what is needed” rather than

If you can imagine it, it has probably been attempted.

Drones & Missiles over cities. This is how Ukraine spent St. Nicholas Day.

While children were waiting for miracles, 550 Russian drones filled the sky. Two missile carriers in the Black Sea prepared a volley of Kalibrs.
Missile strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Fastiv, Vyshhorod, Zaporizhzhia👇

Daniel: 100%.
Jack? Eeehhhhhhh, 85%? Granted, he had to be the foil, but still…

As a Christian I am horrified by statements like this. This is the kind of thinking that led Jesus to flip tables and say things like “you brood of vipers” (which was a much more cutting insult than it now appears to be). A friend refers to this kind of thing as ‘fundamentalist fuckwittery’. Yep.

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

1. Ugly as F
2. Hand ball!
3. Given that it appears to be a copy of w work at the Geneva UN building, what’s the over/under on FIFA getting the appropriate permissions for the copy?

1) legendary energy

2) you don't want to be passive aggressively chased through winter conditions by a Minnesotan, I hope they have nightmares 😂

As @johnfugelsang.bsky.social says, “creepiest youth pastor ever”.

ICE Arrested and Separated Chinese Father From 6-Year-Old Son, Advocates Say The father and son were detained at an ICE check-in on Nov. 26, advocates say. The son’s location is currently unknown, while the father is being held at an upstate ICE facility.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Gene Gatling (the scatter brained governor from Benson) cared about his state and had good ideas, just no real common sense capacity to carry them out. This asscactus is a narcissistic sociopath.
No comparison.

“I didn’t stick around…”
Clearly, he understands the gravity of the choice to end lives.
Fucking bastard.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

How many decisions were made by Bush 1 or Nancy and her astrologer, during Reagan’s 2nd term? Because anyone who has had an Alzheimer’s patient in their family can tell you he was non compos mentis well before the end of his term.

This is it exactly. He thinks he’s running a reality tv show for ratings. I’m not sure he realizes that all of the people “out there in tv land” actually exist as people.
