Wavves is a 1 man band anyway. It’ll be down to Mr. Crabbypants and a drum machine by then, that’s my guess.

The GEO is basically also a scabs union.

I wouldn’t call the Visiting Academic Professionals scabs.  They get the same health insurance, vacation days, sick leave, and many other benefits as Academic Professionals.  Thanks to their contract, they are actually locked in with an annual raise.  It is easier to let them go without advance…

As a scab not represented by the scabs union, I like to fantasize that we scabs have any power over the number and kind of salaried/tenure-track/benefited positions on offer here or elsewhere.   The fact is that Universities structure both the demand and supply sides of the equation:…

Jared played this on WEFT Sessions in September 2008, and in a year mistechtrophic songs I think this was my favorite of the year—this simple version of  “I_Refute_Technology.mp3“ with acoustic guitar, electric bass, and two voices, it’s a good song.  Musician, cover thyself!

Great job Suzanne.  I really like how you sum up how George is a man stuck in his past and unwilling to explore his future.  Thanks for your concise, thoughtful writing.

Almost every issue this amendment attempts to address is merely a symptom of a much bigger, and unsurprisingly, much more difficult to solve problem: Voter apathy.   You want to force term limits because voters generally don’t care enough to throw out bums who come off as…

I wouldn’t be too quick to discount this place simply based on its location or plastic eating utensils.  I’ve been told that this place is one of the more authentic Chinese restaurants in town by a couple of different people who would know.  That’s not to say…

It’s mediocre—not bad, but pretty much standard campus fare.  “Plastic fork cuisine” is pretty apt.  I have no experience searching for food from a vegan perspective, but for omnivores (or even vegetarians), I’d say there are at least five better Chinese and Thai places around town, maybe more.

First the Detroit Freep links.

When I was an undergrad, I too occasionally had enough money for a cheap greasy spoon (chopstick) meal.   On those occasions, I felt mildly celebratory about not boiling or microwaving my own dinner.   It looks like this meal came in Styrofoam, with a plastic fork.   There are…
