This brings all of the other comics into question.

I agree Oscar, I think the fact that this model makes the school more accountable for outcomes is one of the biggest positives about it

Saul, I submit to you: you have inadvertently picked up a *LOT* of very bad information from news and the right-wing before you were too old to process it and realize it was bad information.

You don't even have the tools to be able to tell that it's bad information.

@stephanie The BMI article is not irrelevant, and neither is the CDC's caution.

Please feel free to come back and comment any time, but if you want to tell me that the impact of society on people's opinions of themselves is nil, the peer-reviewed review article that I put in front of you as a *start* when I was pretty busy reduces to one small aspect of what it says, that my biology degree and master's in librarianship reduce to the equivalent of being an anti-vaccer when it comes to matters of human physiology and scientific research, and that you can tell if people need your now-very-questionable health advice based on looking at them....

I'm going to continue to be very very skeptical that your credentials as a medical health professional (of unspecified type) give you any kind of authority on this topic.

We cover a lot of topics around here though, and perhaps you'll be less disgusted by your interlocutors in some other context.

The Bernie or Busters I've known basically began sprouting talking points about HRC from the 1990s. Probably stuff they overheard when they were pre-puberty. It wasn't quite Vince Forster or Whitewater but it was close.

I've said this below but everything about 2016 screams Murc's law and mainly from a bunch of middle-aged white guys who were never that keen on Democrats in the first place. So we have to deal with George's racist arguments against California and topsy-turvey logic on the popular vote we can't call them racist just like NBC told their correspondents not to call Steve King's remarks racist. We have people doing quadruple mental backflips (while blindfolded!!!) to avoid dealing with Sam's arguments against the electoral college because pushing for constitutional reform is the long and slow-boring of hardwood that could take decades (or might never happen). Instead we just get "Bernie coulda won" arguments which are cheap, unprovable one way or the other, and easy.

I can't prove or unprove whether Bernie would have beaten Trump in 2016. No one can. I suspect he would have lost and possibly lost the popular vote too. I suspect the campaign against Bernie's Jewishness would have made the campaign against Al Smith's Catholicness in 1928 look like a pillow fight. But we don't have a hypothetical machine that we can plug these things into.

But this doesn't make Bernie would have won a great argument, it makes it a petulant argument from diehard cultists.

Jesse is right. Pillsy is right. North is right. Richard is right.

I can't prove whether Bernie would have won or not. I suspect not. I suspect the campaign against Bernie

It is rather telling that Bernie lost the 2016 primary very quickly. He was never able to crack a serious base of the Democratic Party, older African-American women or older women in general. Bernie had nothing to offer them.

And the problem with "Bernie would won" is that it can't be unproven. I don't think it is true. But in the United States, if you can't unprove something and someone wants it to be true, it is true.

No one wants to deal with the electoral college being fucked up because it is nearly impossible to reform. So we look for blame in other places.

@dark-matter Nah. He has a long history of thinking that abuse victims owe him their silence.

The Board Of Trustees failed in hiring him, and he failed at being anything other than what he is and what he obviously was: a tone deaf old man incapable of acknowledging that world isn't the way he wants it and incapable of adjusting in any meaningful way to that reality.

Off the Cuff

When Editors hear the Word 'Culture'...

Todd VanDerWerff, a cultural critic and journalist, says (somewhat unsurprisingly) that we need cultural critics and journalists, a group of writers that have been let go from numerous media outlets over the past few years as all media coverage is gradually sucked into the Trump Singularity. — Rufus F.

Matthew Stewart's piece on "the 9.9 percent" in the Atlantic is more interesting (and probably easier to remember) than jeremiads about the "one percent". — Rufus F. (91)
