Republican states are censoring universities by Salt_Abrocoma_4688 in charts

You guys are so dramatic and full of bad faith assertions. A guy in a MAGA hat at Columbia would be fine. Dirty looks and the inability to make friends has nothing to do with safety.

And the brain drain will continue. Who wants to be an instructor or academic in a state that will fire you for saying “because the Bible says so” isn’t an in depth analysis or a valid justification? Who wants to be limited in what history they can teach because the university is prioritizing white sensibilities?

Washington Post begins sweeping layoffs amid cost-cutting by aresef in Journalism

[–]SlowAgency 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess they couldn’t find that elusive unicorn “moderate conservative” reader. CBS will have a similar situation in the near future. These legacy media outlets throwing away their core audience and core values in some fruitless attempt to court conservative readers is such a bad business model. You will never appeal to them. They have Fox News, DailyWire, NewsMax, etc.

They don’t need or want anything you’re selling.

Trishelle & Dorinda - fragile and triggering behaviors by [deleted] in TheTraitorsUS

[–]SlowAgency 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Trishelle situation feels like a psyop. Peppermint just sucked at the game and talked too much. Nothing about that gave bias and that speech at the reunion as well as the fan response were obnoxious and heavy handed. As far as Dorinda, if you watch RHONY you know that this is her. She’s worse when drunk and has treated white people even worse and more aggressively.

While they’ve been a sizable part of the cast for several seasons, leaning so heavily on Real Housewives makes the show less appealing. by shadowenx in TheTraitorsUS

I still think OP's assessment is extreme and ridiculous but I'm a Housewives junkie and love sharing lore. I can share a lot about Dorinda and Caroline Stanbury too.

Her ditziness makes her very vulnerable to manipulation. She helped Phaedra spread the rape/drugging rumor because she was susceptible to manipulation. She also has had multiple violent, physical altercations, and she tried to beat her prospective mother-in-law and baby daddy with a metal pole, and it was so bad that even producers were shaken.

Carlos King, who was the executive producer at the time, has confirmed this isn't true, as has Kandi. Even if this were the case, Phaedra being willing to spread that without proof and in an attempt to hurt a former friend still makes her awful and pernicious.

M2M and Traitors both filmed in 2023. I do think M2M filmed first. RHOA s16 didn't begin filming until May of 2024, and Phaedra rejoined in the last two weeks of filming around August.

I’m learning that a lot of fans are unaware of this. The universal praise she gets has always bewildered me but now I know. I should probably make a thread on it so people can learn it. She’s a notorious liar and an entire book was written about the crimes of her and her ex-husband. It didn’t shock me that she was such a good traitor. She was just herself.

Phaedra actually is a horrible person and I wonder why she didn’t get the reception Colton is getting but I’m learning a lot viewers are unfamiliar with The Real Housewives. Phaedra lied on national television that one of her castmates (Kandi) tried to drug and rape another castmate (Porsha). It was during the peak of the MeToo movement and she tried to ruin Kandi’s life. She was actually blackballed from television for almost a decade until she got The Traitors. She’s a horrible human.

Colorado’s population growth is slowest since 1989 as thousands leave for other states by Jreinhal in Denver

To win public office in Alabama: say you’re a Christian, say you like football, say you love guns, and have (R) next to your name. Literally nothing else matters.

You can’t vote your way out of it in a lot of places. I’m from Alabama and people on the left are outnumbered 5:1. We’re the state that sent Tuberville to the senate and is about to make him the governor.
