Ah yes, that noted avatar of wokeness (checks notes)...Terry McAuliffe
James Carville stfu challenge 2021
One time, 30 yrs ago, James Carville taped a sign that said "it's the economy, stupid" to the wall, the entire punditocracy reacted as if he'd just come down from Mt. Sinai with divinely-etched stone tablets, and we've had to listen to his thinly-veiled racist garbage ever since.

I know this isn't a new observation, but the way we finance health care in this country is a goddamn joke.
I'm fortunate to be in a position where I can pay this bill, but damn. This is one of the underappreciated consequences of a struggling small-college sector--institutions cutting costs by negotiating shittier employee health policies. In practice, it's essentially a pay cut.
Not to mention, tying health insurance to full-time employment is one of the worst policy choices this country continues to make.

Bad ways to market your book, a primer:
1. Send an email with no salutation, context, or anything to suggest why I'm getting it
2. Have said email be an essay that veers fully into get-off-my-lawn territory early and often
3. Make said essay 5,557 words long (27 fucking pages)
I read the whole thing because I saw it as a personal challenge. It's soooo goddamn tedious--a classic case of an Ivy-leaguer universalizing their own idiosyncratic context to make a Bold Claim™ that ends up being "I don't like what the kids are doing today."
And the other Bold Claim™ is that higher ed needs to focus on teaching, to which I would reply:
1. Yes, but there are many folks saying that, and doing it better than you
2. You have a great teaching & learning center on your own campus that you seem completely ignorant of.

Thread--the Justice Department must intervene in Rutherford County, Tennessee, and someone has to remove the corrupt AF white ladies running this kid-jailing system.
This is the judge. An incompetent Jesus freak who gets off on jailing kids.
This is the head jailer, an uber-Karen who makes rules up on the fly to justify caging kids.
