Brazile says she was thinking about taking Clinton and Kaine off the ticket and replacing them with Biden and Booker. Two Scoops' twitter is more believable than this woman.

She's on the DNC rules committee. I don't think that's changed since that piece was released.

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
So that tax plan takes away the exemption that PhD students get for the reduced/free tuition when they are researchers or teachers assistants. Since a typical fee structure would be like 50k/year waived tuition, 15-20k/yr paid labor, they would be taxed at a 65-70k tax bracket while making that 15-20k.

Basically, this breaks down the current PhD track for all but the extremely rich and the grad students are freaking out about it over in the grad student thread.

Well, yeah. If it's passed its a 50% paycut or more, for a group that's already in a really low wage bracket with typically lousy benefits.

Brazile writes that she was haunted by the still-unsolved murder of DNC data staffer Seth Rich and feared for her own life, shutting the blinds to her office window so snipers could not see her and installing surveillance cameras at her home. She wonders whether Russians had placed a listening device in plants in the DNC executive suite.

Typical usage of TAs is to handle recitations of lecture material and to lead lab groups which are hands on application stuff.

Some places do use TAs to teach intro level classes but from all of my academic experience so far this is not common.

Teaching is generally required as part of a PhD program. This is because that’s one of the things expected of a PhD after they graduate and get a job.

Larger schools usually rely on grad students to teach undergraduate courses because they don't feel like paying actual qualified individuals to do it.

I went to grad school in 2 of the top 10 largest state schools in the country. It was exceedingly rare for those.

Also, getting to do recitations and labs as a grad TA was invaluable experience now that I am teaching lectures as a professor now. It helped a ton.

I'm starting to think Mueller is going to find out Steve Bannon actually ghostwrote Brazile's book.


quote:

During one visit, she writes, she thought of a question former Democratic congressman Tony Coelho used to ask her about campaigns: “Are the kids having sex? Are they having fun? If not, let’s create something to get that going, or otherwise we’re not going to win.”

“I didn’t sense much fun or loving in Brooklyn,” she deadpans

Maybe that's why there was a dancing pizza slice with a sign out on the sidewalk today. I've never had Papa John's and don't ever plan on it. I remember the fit he threw a few years back about not wanting to raise wages for his employees. He said it would pass on $.25 extra a pizza (That's it?), all while he has an fullsize 19 hole golf course around his house. gently caress that guy.
