Me as student doing this: “wow, I can’t believe my professor didn’t see that I bullshit my way through this at the last minute!”
Me as the professor grading it: “lmao this is clearly last minute bullshit, but I’ve seen worse, let’s give it an A-”
there's nothing like the feeling of bullshitting your way through an assignment and getting a good grade

Obviously I’m glad he’s suffering some kind of consequence but I simply do not believe you that what he did is “antithetical to the values of Phi Delta Theta” lmao
The University of Mississippi student who made the monkey noises at a Black woman has been kicked out of his fraternity.
Phi Delta Theta announced his removal today.
Earlier, the UM NAACP called on UM to expel Phi Delta Theta member JP Staples.

Gatekeeping is when someone knows something and writes about it for the public
The death of music journalism is kinda odd to me but also makes sense as a byproduct of streaming platforms; wider access to music means people don’t need to rely on critics, gatekeepers as much to pre-vet for them what’s good and what isn’t

Yeah, my sense is that people actually do like discussions and non-lectury stuff but they feel (correctly imo) that these go best when the professor is able to provide some basic foundations/context/common ground, guidance, and focus.

As always, v grateful for philosophers to tell us that technically rules are rules
As usual, I both agree and disagree with Michael. If protestors do not abide by the rules, and refuse to move, they are by definition breaking the peace on campus. The bar for peaceful isn't set at refusal to engage in direct violence.

If you’re in a noir film, there’s a good chance you’re going to encounter moody weather conditions at some point. A climactic scene in THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW features a storm, and it’s safe to say that rain is the official weather of the noir genre.

"Anything that limits our desires is a form of domination" is a wild take
The attentive will immediately spot how this marks out degrowth as a politics of domination, for it states that we must accept a limit to our desires. Beyond a certain point, we must embrace submission to the domination of the rest of nature. /FIN
