#oblivious — Public Fediverse posts

It's a kitty break then we slay the #Dem #Senators that have #allowed #Albus. We cannot keep voting these same people in. I am 65 and willing to go into the dark ages if that is what it takes. I will not capitulate to the craven words backed by capitulation. The #Democrats are on notice. #Oblivious.

Indeed, #oblivious & "#nonchalant" #runners & #cyclists whiz past & parents hang out in playground with toddlers even as local politicians fail to rein in #motorist #impunity and 99 percent free #parking in #Brooklyn

"The cadets are too weak to go into combat."

"Hmm... we should toughen them up."

"How about exposure therapy?"

"Brilliant idea, sir!"

[A little later.]

"Bad news, sir."

"What is it?"

"The cadets were all wimps."

"What happened?"

"We exposed them to grenades, and they all died."

"Alright. We'll have to do another recruitment call."

"Alright, sir!"

"And this time, please use nuclear bombs for the exposure therapy."

"Understood, sir!'

Anybody else see the irony in a white male professor at Cornell Law (who studies CORPORATE LAW and FINANCIAL REGULATION) getting his knickers in a twist about the possibility for students of color to "game the system" by disclosing their racial background in college admission essays? AYFKM???
