    Hartzell’s letter also appears to ascribe a meaning to the word occupy that is above and beyond the generally accepted meaning of being in the space. And using the term as sometimes to imply “without authority to do so.”  Then acting on the implied meaning prior to any actual rules being violated. 

    “Nobody is allowed to occupy campus” is such a red herring.

     

    and we will have dps occupy campus until the previous occupiers deoccupy. if you don't dps gonna go riot police. in austin, the general rule is riot police = police have arrived to start the riot

    Seems like a reasonable memo. Let's be reasonable people and allow for the reasonable protestations while letting those who want to ignore the commotion and simply go to school, do that.

    I feel like Hartzell might be writing his own walking papers if he encourages or quietly allows another police showing like yesterday. 

    thugs need thugs for control.

    goes for abbott too

    Completely and pure speculation, but I could see the thinking and reasoning being an overreaction to the Harvard and Penn presidents who were fired--er, resigned-- due to their not stepping in and allowing things to get out of control. So maybe he's thinking about his job, which is kind of ironic, give that this overreaction the other direction is more likely to cost it than inaction (probably) was.

    Heavy is the head that wears the crown, I guess.

    whatever. dont forget columbia but we aren't them. 

    heavy is the hand that wears the crown is more like it

    Hartzell wanted to avoid campus interruptions and maintain student safety, so he called the cops in to create disruptions and threaten student safety. 

    hartzell and eltife both need to go. 

    fuck them both. 

    i was on campus when jesse jackson came to town after hopwood blew up everything and lino graglia went rogue.

    that was an old school civil rights protest and i don't even remember the cops that day.

    I take issue with the lack of specificity of what rules were being violated, by whom, when, and what was done about it.  
    I also wonder why, at a public university, he feels the need to mention non-students participating or why it’s important. 

    because he's pro fascist. seriously, what fucking UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT calls in the fucking state trooper anti riot police to smash up a peaceful protest with tried and true kesselschlacht warfare tactics?

    also, incredulity got it for a couple of days. more incoming and or I'm just going to move obvious political thread to political forum. 

    yall decide jesus christ you bunch of children

  6. lol at lights being timed at all for efficiency. there are so many shit examples but loyola in general has lights that blow. my personal favorite for time immemorial is the seeming inability for the city to time lights on a schedule. ain't no college kids crossing dean keaton at 8 am on a sunday but that doesn't stop all those lights from going red so ghosts can cross on non school days.

    The Yabushige character is very perplexing. Throughout the entire series my views of him keep changing. He fluctuates between a total dick, bad ass, goofball, traitorous, a fun cool dude, but remains very likeable the entire time no matter what he does.

    The kind of guy you want to party with but he's likely to leave you with the bill and then have you jumped in the parking lot afterwards.

    and yet he calls you up next friday night and you don't even think before you say "yeah see you at 11"

    Don't know, but my twin brother got in a wreck with their lead singer back in the late 80s. It was Butthole Surfer guys fault and he didn't have insurance so he gave my brother a bunch of cash on the spot.

    It was just a fender bender, but my asshole brother pocketed the $ and never got the bumper fixed.

    and they were all in love with dyin and they were doin it in texas

  9. also you know what happens when your kid is in serious crisis and you make them endure it anyways and go to school and suck it up?

    i remember when that happened when i was a kid and I'm probably still suffering somehow from that experience. also i learned nothing in school those days because fuck you i dont want to be here or need to be here. i guess my dad would have called that building character but it was pretty much bullshit

    i did learn how to be bitter and anxious and have a lot of resentment towards my parents though so i got that out of it. Sorry if i don't want to be the biggest asshole in my kids' teen lives. doesn't mean I'm their best friend either.

    It's almost like there's a mental health crisis and people have consciously or subconsciously realized that the informal contract that used to exist between employer and employee has, in a majority of cases, been abandoned by one side of the partnership. 

    i was fired last year for being sad and anxious. employers will put all kinds of mental health wellness bullshit in their messaging but god help you if you fucking admit it. they will take a look of your state of employment, pip you and fire you. thanks texas.

  11. i think covid showed us how bullshit our social structure really is

    my kids are absent all the time. monday they didn't feel like going for different reasons but basically they were tired from helping try to entertain cousins at easter. 

    why do i give a fuck? unexcused absences mean fuckall any longer. 

    it's sometimes better for them to just have a day than have the fight. 

    i am sure this will be a super popular opinion around here and before you jump on me , know my wife is in public education and I'm a huge supporter of properly executed public schooling.

    It's not the "third" on this board that are mostly highly educated people that need this blasted in their face. It's the third or so of Americans sitting on their fucking thumbs, doing nothing to plant themselves on the right side of history; it's those people who will be marginalized first and when they're adequately pacified/indoctrinated they'll shift their attention to us. By then we'll be outnumbered. It's happened before. It's happening again. We can stop it. Time will tell if we will.

    mmm? there are a fuckload on this board oh fuck who cares

    I'd like to know what these Christian nationalists are.  Are they Southern Baptists (seems like a lot of them come from that group) or are they are mix of various branches of Christianity?

    Because if they are a mix, there's no way in hell they'd all agree on how Christianity should be taught or enforced.

    well there's your cowboy churches, your suburban megachurches, probably an electric guitar or some local celebrity musician, and a coffee shop at church. 

    basically any non catholic white christians in america. sorry american protestants this is all your fault.
