I got a Minor in College Teaching during my PhD and, to be frank, even so-called teaching schools were like 'that's nice... what's your five year research outlook?'

It'd be nice if the academe actually valued it as a whole. Made me realize we're a small minority.

Watch when he 'apologizes', he does that fake face itch with his finger. Never was a better tell for insincerity.

Oh no! I am a big Trump supporter & supporter of the US & Israeli wars on Gaza, Lebanon & Iran but seeing this I think we should no longer align ourselves with the IDF & I am showing this picture to Trump at Mar-a-Lago tonight & he will totally care & be upset & make a good normal decision

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

The siege of Salamandastron is up there but The Long Patrol feels like it would be the most heartbreaking and grandiose battle of the whole goddamn two dozen books. Redwall is *fine* but the rest of the series is mind-fucking-blowing. Even as an adult!

Yeah, compost and pelletized chicken shit.

Mine wasn't about price sensitivity at all. Rather, these wage increases don't get at the underlying issues with wage labor in the US: lack of anything resembling a strong, consistent social safety net.

These wage increases mollify those who need to be convinced to adopt these.

Received one of these for Christmas from an in law and scoffed privately. And then started using it and MY GOD. What a delight. It's everything I didn't know I needed.

It's usually what does it....numbers don't lie even when liars try to make them.

Using this opportunity to talk about my really cool clock again

Yes and-ing this with being able to interweave this with how US soft power thru entities like USAID, Peace Corps, etc. is part of our comprehensive national defense strategy. Show people the cost to run these for a year compared to a week of bombs in Iran.

So many people are going to jail - which will have much better conditions than this - over these crimes. I'm absolutely gnashing my teeth over this shit. 😬

We are not algebra 😂😂😂

Mr. Trump, sir, why have you not put bigger tits on the green m&m as you promised

N64 smash bros back end starfox

Show me your moves

21-years-old and running for State Rep. Jay Morris is proof you don’t have to “wait your turn” to lead.

This Celebrate Diversity Month, we need more young people bringing real lived experience into office.

Your turn? bit.ly/Run4what

Since I was a young person myself (alas, no longer) I have also wanted complete reform:
-No private money in elections. All publicly funded.
-Multi-member districts and proportional representation
-Abolish the Senate; increase size of House
-*new!* 23 member SCOTUS with ONE 17 year term

El Ahrairah

Sounds like Missouri.

Yeah I think the airport code thing was a trend for a hot minute. I usually use MSP when texting cuz I'm lazy. Lol

Wouldn’t “Sconnie” have been way more appropriate?

That's how I knew the person who pitched Wisco isn't from the upper Midwest because that's the preferred colloquialism from everyone in the region. Just dumb.

They aren't happening because people are scared - rightly so - to speak out given what happened with the Gaza protests. Literal chilling effect in action...how do you not see that?

Can we normalize literacy?

I can't believe I don't have health insurance because 25% of Americans thought a demented racist pedophile should be president to keep Black Americans from getting too uppity. Also, that he should be allowed to bomb little girls.

The Great Party

One amazing fact about human ingenuity is that our average body temperatures are decreasing. The 98.6°F was determined in the 1800s. With improved hygiene, antibiotics, vaccines and heat/air conditioning we no longer need to be as hot to stay alive. The average temperature is now 97.9°F.

It me. Deeeeeply.
