But how did you deal with all the palm fronds the warm winds brought down?

France Is Sending a Large Naval Force to the Middle East

I didn't have this headline on my IR bingo card.

I wish we had that sort of turnover.

I’d imagine so. My working hypothesis is that it’s reaching for the most available form of β€œdiversity”: women in a whiter PS; POCs in a feminized soc.

Glad to hear. My political science colleagues constantly talk about this but never whinels.

It is funny.

Maybe we should call them whinels because of all the shrill voices.

I loved that we are killing thousands and spending billions to replace Khamenei with Khamenei.

Mudde is correct, of course. One thing I find interesting about this though is how it varies by discipline. I’ve rarely heard the manel concern in soc, but we do have a whanel concern: not just white people on a panel committee.

Tudor bonnet or I’ll eat my hat.

It was just an echo.

One was a gold mine dredge operator, Alcan highway truck driver, logger, and longshoreman. The other was a high school teacher and principal.

Guess I’m running on the pro-union, pro-education ticket.

This is not a credible source.

I’d wait for a more credible source to confirm this before reposting.

Might be time to clawback that record funding of DHS.

Days like today make me wish that Ali Kadivar was on here. I’d so much appreciate his insight.

I had a colleague who would rank people based on the graduate studies grades. πŸ™„

My hot take is that Jerry Brown is by far the best governor of California and I will fight you.

One never merely reviews a literature, rather you build your argument in conversation with prior work.

I think the real crime is thinking that lit reviews are an actual thing one should do in an academic paper.
