Behold, a man!

So you’re saying the front fell off because a wave hit it?

What about the label for my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate?

The US media is using this sort of language to manufacture consent for yet another war in the middle east. Is this group the de facto government of Yemen? No, they’re just “Houthi rebels”, so we’re doing Yemenis a favor by getting rid of them. Is it a reasonable military tactic to fire on the warship of a hostile foreign power that’s been bombing the shit out of you? No, it’s an “escalation”! How dare these rebels strike first, we didn’t do anything to them!

So you can read this dipshit’s idiot writing without giving the New York Times any money for enabling him.

The United States government has been pissing and moaning about Iran my entire life. They’ve been “two years away from the bomb” for literally forty years now.

I’m not saying that the United States wouldn’t invade Iran—they are certainly stupid enough—but this saber rattling is nothing new. Iran happens to be a particularly convenient bogeyman for the powers that be to propagandize their citizenry.

Hamas does not “steal all the aid.” The Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu has funded Hamas for years, in a truly chef’s kiss strategy to keep the population of Gaza under their thumb.

Never have I ever strangled my roommate, poisoned my advisor for suggesting I go into a different branch of physics, and created a weapon that deletes entire metropolitan areas.

Two out of three of those, **at most.

Let me preface this by saying I’ve worked in both academia and private enterprise.

I would say it’s more proof that the idea of academia as an “ivory tower” that holds itself to a higher standard than business and government is utterly delusional. Academia is subject to the same desire for power, money, and prestige because it’s run by people, and people with too much ambition and not enough integrity tend to rise to the top because they simply do not care about ethics. It’s the same everywhere; higher education is no different than the business world.

Except that the saying, “those who can’t do, teach; those who can’t teach become college professors” is absolutely true without exception and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

Give the guy a break! At least his students aren’t poisoning each other or anything…
