Interesting observation: U.S. media references to “oligarchs” invariably refer to Russians, whereas Americans with comparable amounts of money and influence are simply called “businessmen” or even “philanthrophists”: https://is.gd/MTpAOI

@ZingerLearns @elduvelle @ninokadic and yet, we, the academics, continue to propagate it without much opposition in exchange for meaningless tokens of prestige and impact factor (which, by the way. has absolutely no value outside academia).

Men, in case you were wondering, yes. Every single woman you know has been spoken down to, patronized, objectified, infantilized, and belittled with exactly the same "Kenergy" you seem to find so objectionable in the movie and it's REALLY FUNNY to see how you guys can't handle that AT ALL.

Sweet teas are made of leaves
Some of them brown and some are green
I travel the world for the perfect tea
Everybody wants a Darjeeling

Some of them got to infuse yeah
Some of them got to be infused by you
Some of them got to be brewed, yeah
Some of them got to be brewed by you

Time for a new work adventure to begin.

Thrilled to join UND in the College of Education!

Kids can detect what you really think of them. What is says about them that their school has a "discipline center" not a library. What that says about what the adults in their life expect from them. What the education system has to offer for them.

They see it all. Adapt to meet your expectations.

Build a discipline center have discipline problems. Dutifully the children will not want it to go to waste.

And they will remember "libraries aren't for kids like us." for the rest of their lives.

Hey! What's the big deal that there's only 2 companies in the world where we get all our information from?

One of the most popular books we send is the current edition of "The World Almanac and Book of Facts". Why is this book so popular? Because the vast majority of prisoners in the U.S. aren't allowed access to the web. This means they can't turn to online resources like Wikipedia to answer their questions about the world.

I have a horrible feeling that a lot of people look at forest fires, floods, record heatwaves, etc., and think, "This is how it's going to be from now on."

It's not. We're still pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, where it's accumulating.

The future is going to be much, much worse. Unless we take drastic action now.

I love L.A., right?
