Dingwick: May 3, 2007; This is always the highlight of my day.

Why do they think that "conservative" is a good adjective anyway? Just makes them seem stodgy, ignorant, resistant to change, and really just stupid, ya dingus.

I'm starting to believe that Russia hacked our voter rolls but only to give everyone funny names like Otto Warmbier and Reality Winner

actually altering the voter rolls so that people are turned away due to republican passed voter suppression efforts would be smart as poo poo since you can't really say that affected people votes

You're talking about a rhetoric class. Learning the three Aristotelean appeals, pathos, ethos, and logos, and how those are used in ads is an intro rhet class.

I know, I taught it.

loving lmao no

if you mention aristotle at any point then you've already fundamentally hosed up. layers of academic formality between what you're trying to teach and how you're trying to teach it are contradictory to the concept of "the world, as it is right now, is full of poo poo on a direct, immediate, and corporeal level. its measurably full of poo poo. here's some examplkes" instead, you're just saying a bunch of dumb old dead greeks who thought a lot about triangles had some opinions and the kids need to learn those opinions instead of directly interacting with poo poo

you start day 1 of the class with "here's an indian payday loan advertisement. its bullshit. lets talk about how its bullshit"

then start day 2 of the class with "here's an old wesson oil commercial saying wesson oil won't soak into your food. its bullshit. lets talk about how its bullshit"

you want a kid to, a few years later, see a mailer that looks really cool and say "bullshit". not say "aha, this reminds me of a lecture on logos and the principles of *faaart*"

no way they are going hard on this because it makes it harder for people on the left to criticise May when she's being all "this TERRORIST attacked MUSLIMS who are US at this holy time" after a week where she basically couldn't go outside but also couldn't stay inside either.

when i took my rhetoric courses this is what we did. we were tasked with looking at works and determining who they were for, what message they carried, etc, and then (later) asked to analyze it through some lens or another.

Geoscience isn't taught in schools, and though you can't found a geology startup, the jobs with it pay just as well (up to $40,000 with a bachelor's), and it applies to a myriad number of political issues (climate, environmental issues, shortages of water and other natural resources, peak oil). The problem is that you need a car to use it, and the federal grants and loans won't cover the required $1200 field camp course, which is probably why in my experience it skews toward students from middle-to-upper-class backgrounds. At the annual Rock Bowl camping trip, where geology students from across the state compete in events like the rock ID, the fossil ID, quiz bowl, geode roll and rock hammer throw, there was only one black guy out of 100 students. Also people commonly talk about things like "backpacking through Ireland" that just makes me want to vomit

so yeah, probably a good thing

depends, Columbia's geology group (all the way from undergrads to PHD students) is super diverse and gets to do cool poo poo like camp out in Death Valley for weeks at a time
