Watching the Dodgers game, and Justin Turner just hit a HR that landed right in this guy's nachos. Legendary.
They did a replay review to make sure it was a home run and I'm like DID YOU NOT SEE THE CHEESEPLOSION
I mean, my team got no-hit tonight, so I'm glad there was the nacho bomb to bring joy back to my baseball viewing tonight
They just gave the guy new nachos and a new Dodgers hoodie, apparently from Justin Turner. That rules.

Of course Prager misquotes Jefferson. The actual quote is "If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy."
Also, I doubt Prager sees the irony of deploying this bootstrapping language as uttered by someone like Jefferson who, as an enslaver, built an entire life by "wasting the labors" of people "under the pretense of caring for them."
And by "labor," one could also include the coerced sexual labor of Sally Hemings, given that Jefferson began raping her when she was 14 (carrying on a tradition of white Jefferson men raping enslaved Blackl women).

"The board statement acknowledged the faculty vote and concerns; affirmed a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusivity; and said the board expects Salsbury to unite the broader university community." LOLOLOLLLLL insidehighered.com/quicktakes/202…
Like "unite the broader university community" is something he can just check off the list one day, between "order new coffeemaker for the office suite" and "cut humanities budget."
This is why most institutional DEI work will ultimately fail--it implicitly conceives of it as a collection of things to check off a list (a CDO, more diverse faculty, multicultural night in the dining hall) rather than an ongoing process of critical reflection and reparation.

I've long had a sinking feeling that Chauvin will be acquited. I desperately hope I'm wrong.
The reason I feel this way is because whiteness is also on trial, and whiteness remains undefeated in our "justice" system.
I mean, this is an open and shut case. It would have never even seen trial if the defendant was Black--they'd have been forced to plea-bargain. But here we are, confronted with whiteness's power over life and death, wielded w impunity, and there's every reason to believe it wins.

"I've heard many faculty members" say they don't need offices? There's no effing way that's true. None whatsoever.
Also, it shouldn't escaped our notice that "open-office" setups are becoming en vogue for admins and campus planners at the same time we're seeing the corporate world realize that they don't, in fact, do what they were supposed to in terms of collaboration and productivity.
Planners and forecasters: "we need to acknowledge that pandemics and other public health concerns will be with us moving forward in higher ed"
Also planners and forecasters: "we should totally do open offices and shared lockers"

I'll bet you dollars to donuts it was a right-wing white student who couldn't abide not being able to question others' basic humanity, and the uni caved because white discomfort overrides real antiracist work every goddamn time. I'd love to be wrong, but you know I'm not.
Y'all know they'll keep doing this, because squeamish white admins will fall for that okey doke every damn day.
I remember an admin telling me on Nov.9, 2016, that I needed to be *really* worried about the students who'd voted for Trump, that they shouldn't be made to feel "marginalized" or "attacked." I remember standing there in shock, feeling like I was going to throw up in my mouth.
