Some professors think academic freedom means they can say whatever but the truth, in a real and legal sense, is that they're responsible for an environment where the students feel free to express themselves. We were given clear guidance about not doing this kind of shit.

Is it possible that all this talk of eating dogs and cats is a simple misunderstanding? Maybe they are eating hot dogs with catsup?

What they really hate is that blatant lying isn’t ok with some people. Alternate facts and reality are a Republican staple, so when the candidate spewing lies is corrected, they cry foul. They simply don’t like Harris, mostly because she’s an educated, successful woman of color with power, so everything she says is doubted by them, regardless of veracity.

As for that absurd Garrison cartoon again, I love how he has Harris propped way up high by the best selling book “Karl Marx,” but poor, abused Donald has no ideology book to stand on. For fairness, he should be standing on “Crime for Dummies,” or a Betamax copy of “Beyond the Green Door.”

What’s most revealing about that pathetic Garrison cartoon is how the debate made HIM feel. He’s feeling wounded, victimized, and hurt.

I’m certain when Trump is attacking people and calling them names and suggesting reporters should be jailed or his enemies executed, Garrison is right there calling out Trump’s vile behavior. I just don’t have time to go back and confirm that I’m right.

Trump was fact-checked, and Harris was strong and well prepared. That’s just as bad.

Firstly I wish I lived in a world where it was understood that it was ok to euthanize a newly born child if it's chance of living a happy healthy life was non existent, we are all so precious about the sanctity of life that we rarely consider the suffering of the child (in this example) and their extended family. Often these children live out their short sad existence as medical experiments. The guilt put on the parents is another level of cruelty altoghther. 100 years ago these little mites would not have survived long and it was considered kind and acceptable to "leave them by an open window" on a cold night to expedite their departure.

That aside trump is really just trying to muddy the water around late term abortion where a fetus could potentially survive out of the womb (Late term abortions are only conducted where it is established that there is no chance of fetal survival and there is a risk to the mother).

Lastly. What the heck is wrong with American gun-sights.

That Ben Garrison cartoon is just fucking stupid.

It’s definitely fucking stupid enough to be a conservative joke.

Which reminds me, I haven't seen a new McNaughton Art-etorial statement in quite awhile. Did he die of COVID?

He’s a total douche conservative with an 8th grade sense of humor. Look how he drew Kamala, like a demon woman with a twisted face. She’s a beautiful woman with an amazing smile. Trump is a gargoyle who is slathered in orange tanner to mask his withering, blotchy face. Plus he’s an evil man who wasn’t attacked by anyone. He simply spoke from his empty heart for far longer than Harris did and showed who he is. Garrison feels Trump is a victim, naturally, and it’s someone else’s fault. Very conservative. Now that’s funny!

The Trump-MAGA political cartoons out there are all cringy self parodies.

He’s hoping to be Scott Adams someday, so he can lose his audience by saying terrible things and become a wingnut martyr.

It's telling that when we complain over moderation, it is because "they are not actually moderating" but when the right wing complains, it is "They were not nice enough to Trump!"

Some of the most ridiculous things turmp said were in response to the moderators. I hope the Harris campaign sent them a nice fruit basket.

I wonder if they get how many memes laughing out loud at him are working around the internets. I've only been on FB and looking at Reels. It's 2/3 of the content and the people actually trying to support him are the hugest fails of all because you can't really tell if it's snark or not it's such a ridiculous lie.

Strange hill to die on.....

"A week ago, my 30-year-old son started college."

i got my BA in my 30th year! I'm vicariously proud for both of you.

also i went back to back to college at age 41 to take some med tech prereqs. nothing professional came of that because i was misled on several levels (at least the credits were good), but i can't recommend A&P enough to every human everywhere forever. OWNER'S MANUAL!

I love anatomy and physiology. I'm also a huge fan of Arthur C. Guyton's Textbook of Medical Physiology, but only the editions published between 1964 and 1967, which contain facts about the lymphatic system missing from later editions.

A &P, and medical terminology, were the two best professional classes, that I took that I still use the knowledge 20 years later. I still have the textbooks for reference

I still occasionally replace my anatomy and physiology coloring books with fresh new copies, forty-odd years after I discovered my first one.

"And that very day, JD Vance had said it doesn’t matter if the rumor that they are is false,"

This is his "Couchfucker" equivalency, except instead of picking on his opponent he is punching-down at a vulnerable group of innocent people....that sound right?
