“The reality is that Bernie voters know that Bernie isn’t going to get to implement even a tiny portion of the things he proposes. . . Given a choice of voting for an insider who has been part of that fail over the past forty years, or for an outsider who hasn’t been part of that fail, Bernie voters choose to vote for the outsider. This isn’t Bernie supporters being immature or unrealistic. This is Bernie voters being desperate.” The kind of childish tantrum described here is the definition of immaturity, buddy. The Bernie voters described in this quote are whiny, stupid children with zero brain matter. I’m not saying that actual Bernie supporters are this way, of course. The author of the linked piece is simply projecting.
A brilliant, brilliant, brilliant post by a Hillary supporter. For fairness’ sake, I’d love to link to something as strong by a Bernie supporter but all I’m finding is as weak and mumbly as the stuff I linked above. The bern people feel is not translating into strong writing. But I’ll keep looking!
There are strong, meaningful posts questioning Bernie, though. Here is one. Mind you, I don’t like this author. But it’s undeniable that this is strong writing.
You’ll be shocked to see the obnoxious way in which fundamentalists mock restaurant servers.
As we say in my culture, Inside Higher Ed is so desperate that it started to fuck mice. The academic publication promotes the services of some quack who sells fake essays (slightly disguised but still) to college students.
Austrian police tries to excuse the actions of a man who raped a small boy. Read the whole story to see how the rapist explained why he committed the crime.
Talking about creeps, the bizarredom of people who persecute kids for exchanging nude photos is sickening. The only reason why they get so aroused by the practice is. . . that they get aroused by it and freak out over these feelings.
Rich, spoiled brats use the BLM movement to excuse their ridiculous screwups. Disgusting!
Elizabeth Warren is dishonest. Color me unsurprised.
Tenured professors are fired for displeasing an administrator.
The aggressive egg and the meek sperm: how we project our hangups onto the process of fertilization.
As I keep saying, Democrats are doing all they can to scare away as many reasonable voters as possible.
Immigrants contribute to economic inequality by being so much more driven and successful.

What is it with the correlation of possessing an elite MBA and a total lack of a conscience? Sure, the numbers might have looked better, but it shows a complete lack of understanding of how other people might view situations and how it might shake out for the “metrics” (retention and fundraising) he was hired to improve.
If I were an alum of this university I’d send an anger-gram telling them to fuck off and leave me alone when they sent their semi-annual “please give us more money” letter.

People in these businesses programs tend to spend most of their time fantasizing about all the millions they are going to make. The degree of their obnoxiousness is out of this world. Bringing them into the academic environment as administrators is a huge mistake because they speak a different language and begin to freak out when they see how much they stick out and antagonize everybody.

I gather from Politico Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina have dropped out of the presidential race but Jeb! is still hanging in thinking that his connections plus money will carry him through to a win in the end. This total lack of situational awareness demonstrates his complete inadequacy for the position.

Believe it or not, Jeb has turned into a competent compaigner during the last couple of debates and in recent television interviews. If Rubio doesn’t recover from the suicide mission that Christie took him (Rubio) down with, Jeb might actually make it into the finals as the “non-Trump-or Cruz” choice.

Bush is better than Cruz, that’s for sure. Although that’s not a strenuous task.

“Mounting evidence continues to contradict Success Academy charter network head Eva Moskowitz’s claims that harsh discipline of struggling students is isolated and anomalous across her 36 NYC schools. Less than a month after 13 parents filed a federal civil rights complaint against the network for allegedly using harsh tactics to pressure special needs children out of the system, the NY Times has published a secretly-filmed video of a teacher from Success Academy Cobble Hill yelling at a first grader for stumbling over a math problem, ripping up the child’s worksheet, and banishing her to a “calm down chair.”
This is how charter schools get to claim their ‘excellent’ performance numbers. Kick out all struggling children, then say look our students do so much better than public school educated children.

I wonder how many people go into teaching because it’s an opportunity to bully people who are weaker and smaller than you.
That’s emotional abuse. And in some sick way, they’ll claim that’s what children need to get used to in order to function in the workplace (customer service! fast food! call centers!) and the larger world and that it’s the parents who are bad at parenting if they object to it.

Physicists have found gravitational waves
Professor Kip Thorne, of the California Institute of Technology, and one of the founding fathers of Ligo, said that until now, astronomers had looked at the universe as if on a calm sea. All of that had changed.
“The colliding black holes that produced these gravitational waves created a violent storm in the fabric of space and time, a storm in which time speeded up and slowed down, and speeded up again, a storm in which the shape of space was bent in this way and that way,” he said.
