#FakeAcademics, a Matter of National Concern
One of the dumbest published "scholarly" work abstracts I've seen, and I've seen a few:
Corporal HauntingsSo he's using the "autoethnography" (which just means "Dear Diary, today I binge-watched Orange is the New Black and felt this way about its transnormative potentialities") of fiction of made-up conversations between, I don't know, his current-time "ghost" and his past child-self (or maybe the latter is the "ghost," visiting the future) in order to "redirect the narrative momentum" about, one assumes, his father's great shame about having begat this buffoon. Could this be more divorced from reality? Dude, just watch Frequency with your dad. Problems solved. And then you can write an "autoethnography" about the catharsis you and your shame-ridden father felt when Dennis Quaid goes all shotgunny. He's not the only "academic" keenly interested in "hautnological" studies, either:
(Re)membering Father David Purnell
Depart Crit Qual Res, Vol. 4 No. 4, Winter 2015; (pp. 65-82) This narrative focuses on the use of fiction in conjunction with autoethnography in order to possibly change narrative inheritance. I use speculative autoethnography to seek out alternate outcomes of past life events. In this writing, fictionalized conversations take place with the hauntings of my child self during fragments of past experiences that I consider contributors to a failed familial relationship. I use this method to offer an alternative to the assumed social constructs of needing to "repair" such relationships. Through this account, I suggest ways to redirect the narrative momentum that pushes narrative inheritance into the future.

I would often make a joke with my professors that any new scholarship on classic works was going to get increasingly ridiculous.
"How valuable is the postmodern Marxist feminist reading of Huckleberry Finn and the paper describing it?"
My professors would chuckle along with me.

Yep. It's like saying everyone must successfully high jump. To do that, you need to put the bar on the ground.
Which is a metaphor for what university is today.
(Minority) students were quoted in the LAT as being thrilled when California dropped its high school exit exam, because "now I can start my career at the University of California," to which they'd been admitted.
The exit exam consisted of 10th grade English, and 8th grade math. And students could attempt to pass it in each of their sophomore, junior, and senior years. And despite this, these idiots could not pass it. It posed an insuperable barrier until the state waived it.
My disgust knows no bounds. Anyone who could not pass it the first time is NOT college material. My boys came home laughing after taking it in their sophomore year.

one paper one of these guys dissed, which I didn't really think deserved dissing, was some guy or gal writing about lighthouses, but in this post-modern (Real)ity questioning way, but I had the sense that this person just wanted to write about lighthouses, BUT THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET PUBLISHED.
The study of lighthouses, by the way, is "phareology."
I can't prove that this guy couldn't find any other way to get published, but at least he was writing about a real thing (lighthouses are, say what you will, real things, which puts this guy leagues ahead of most of his colleagues).

Back when I had an inkling to go to film school, I was reading an article about how one program somewhere called things like plot and theme by their Russian names, and if you didn't refer to them as those Russian names, you automatically failed the assignment.

This is partly practical - if you have to compare say social vs capitalism and argue the benefits in a data driven way the socialist side loses - but partly this is also supportive of how the left has come to view reality.
Conservative view reality as something independent from our emotions or desires. The universe doesn't care that you don't like the way it works. You can take *actions* to improve outcomes, based on analysis, sure. But if you keep doing the same things, you get the same results.
The left believes instead that reality is a shared construct. The reason the universe is what it is is preciously because people believe it to me. So, if everyone believes strongly that Obamacare works, it will work. Or socialism. Or that you can change your sex by cosmetic surgery and putting on makeup, etc.
And that is why they hate us so it should be pointed out. All of the world's problems are ultimately our "bad thought". If everyone believed, or was forced to believe "good thought" these problems would disappear.

English translator, Jasmine is a 17 yo who dropped out of school and
the researcher is supposed to find out why and see what can be done to
get her back into school.
I think it even goes beyond that. The researcher isn't trying to figure out how to get her back into school. She's meditating on how her impressions of Jasmine are part of Jasmine, and Jasmine is part of her, and Jasmine is made of many things and is the composite of a dozen different presuppositions and experiences and there is no real Jasmine but Jasmine is a person who is all people and none.
Or something.

I, therefore, juxtapose feminist posthumanist theories and feminist food studies scholarship to demonstrate how eastern fox squirrels are subjected to gendered, racialized, and speciesist thinking in the popular news media as a result of their feeding/eating practices, their unique and unfixed spatial arrangements in the greater Los Angeles region, and the western, modernist human frame through which humans interpret these actions. I conclude by drawing out the implications of this research for the fields of animal geography and feminist geography.

Hey, now. The best way to rack up the arrow damage is with sneak attack *and* a compound bow. Assassin quarry bonuses and favored enemy are all well and good, but it doesn't beat playing a beefmeister who can add multiple d6s and a strength bonus to their shots basically every time.
Most elf types are way too faggy to have a good strength bonus.
Of course if you can convince your DM that firing a bow isn't a more specialized/difficult skill than swinging a sword you can be a barbarian multiclass and keep a special bow that you can only fire when you're really, really angry.
Although the highest ranged damage I ever came up with as a thought experiment in 3.5 was a titan-bloodline giant viper man with a size increase to huge and a further size category bumped Greatcrossbow with the ability to more or less fire trees at people and add 1/2 dex bonus.

That's an error. You're supposed to write about things that have no (Real)ity and little meaning, and, for some reason, put parentheses around pieces of words to make them (Re)sonnate, somehow.

Deja Vu, in particular, is underrated. Tony Scott had lost a lot of his cache with a lot of people by that point, and when he produced a solid little time travel movie, no one noticed.
I just saw it again last week. It's on HBO or one of those. Even though I know the story (I've seen it like five times), all the reveals and set-pieces still work.
my only gripe is that if you can shoot a laser into the past, obviously it's not hard at all to send a radio signal or hijack the phone with an induced electrical current or just write out a message on the wall with rapidly moving laser light.

Laymen can't read papers on STEM subjects, but it's not because of pretension by the authors (shitty writing skills, yes, but pretension, no). It's because they're writing about the interaction of things that are far removed from laymen's experience, which necessitates specialized vocabulary and in general familiarity with everything that has gone on before in the field. (Without specialized vocabulary, it would be necessary to describe everything in chemistry, say, as "the thing that goes up on the thingy bob that hangs off the middle of the molecule").
Without knowing the field - and therefore the issues - and without knowing the specialized vocabulary, it is impossible to figure out what a STEM paper is talking about.
The social sciences and humanities don't have that problem. They talk about phenomena and concepts that laymen can perfectly well understand. But to arrogate to themselves a veneer of intellectual loftiness, they intentionally adopt an arcane, convoluted usage that makes their writing impenetrable.

For my sins, I once served on a university committee that awarded postgraduate scholarships across all subjects.
Needless to say, bloody Shakespeare got an immense amount of air play. My favorite was the guy who was doing a lexicographical study. He counted how many times Shakespeare said "Gadzooks" or whatever per scene in each of his plays in an attempt to determine whether the same person had written all of the plays.

Teresa Lloro-Bidart, an associate professor of liberal studies at Cal Poly, argues in a recently published postmodernist research paper that eastern fox squirrels are on the receiving end of racially-charged media bias. Lloro-Bidart claims that she worked towards such a conclusion by analyzing the coverage of eastern fox squirrels through "feminist posthumanist," and "feminist food studies" lenses.
Lloro-Bidart contends that eastern fox squirrels, which is the most populous species of tree squirrel in North America, are on the receiving end of such bigotry due to several factors, most notably, the "western, modernist," framework by which humans interpret their behaviors and actions.
At first I thought someone was trying to put one over on us. But then I followed the link to the academic "journal" in which this learned paper was published. "Gender, Place, and Culture: A Journal of Feminist Geography" actually exists -- which begs the question:
Who is more insane? 1 ) The professor who wrote this idiocy or 2 ) the "academic journal" that published it?

What this guy clearly lacked was corporal punishment.
(Re)membering Father
Actually, he is trying to express (Re)remembering Father. "Membering" has nothing to do with memories (even though, to a dolt like this they might sound similar). "Remembering" is the act of putting back together pieces of memory to construct an accurate picture of a past event, thought, or image. You cannot deconstruct "remember" in the way he's attempting. It just makes you sound like an idiot. He should have realized this when he arrived at the same word he was trying to alter in his oh-so-clever way.
Although ... he might have really been talking about digging up dear old dad and putting his parts back together in a way that he thinks is better. Of course, that would have been "re-membering dear old dad, who ruined my life and was the worst person on Earth".

Republicans are spooked by the fake news and Democrats into thinking that Trump cannot appoint ANYONE to the FBI now because they'll be on the hook for confirming a "stooge."

IT HAPPENED AGAIN: 'The View' Didn't Expect This Reaction From The Audience To Comey's Firing.
The ladies on "The View" clearly didn't expect their audience to cheer as they announced Wednesday on their show that President Donald Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey.
"I'm sure you all have heard, but FBI Director James Comey's been fired," Whoopi Goldberg announced to the audience who could be heard cheering.
I think it was Jim Treacher who noted yesterday that Stephen Colbert was shocked when his audience reacted exactly the way he'd spent the last six months training them to react.

Absolutely true. As I've
Most of physics and chemistry don't have much of a problem with fraud and bull because it gets found out quickly and debunked. (There's not much point in ginning up fake results that are of little significance; conversely, if the results are of significance, others will check them PDQ.)
Climastrology is an exception on the physics side, because there's no way really to falsify assertions made there. That lack of falsifiability exerts a siren call to charlatans.

Tief sein und tief scheinen. — Wer sich tief weiß, bemüht sich um Klarheit; wer der Menge tief scheinen möchte, bemüht sich um Dunkelheit. Denn die Menge hält Alles für tief, dessen Grund sie nicht sehen kann: sie ist so furchtsam und geht so ungern in's Wasser. - Nietzsche.

Much of the 'academia' is useless. It's really the foundation for the political agenda, and ways to fund Leftists and their orgs, and to spread it throughout the rest of education and society.

Oh they have the room. Church finished a $4 million expansion a few years ago in which the old sanctuary was turned into a kid's center and huge gym was built. There is WAY more than enough room for the games. I have no idea why they don't do the games. They play basketball and stuff but they don't do the games which is just *hands all over the place*
Gah, to get my Timothy Award, which, sadly, got lost in a move at some point, I had to memorize 500 verses I think. That's on top of what was required to complete the books and pass the tests.
My Meritorious Award requirement was, among other things, to memorize I John. Not chapter one, the entirety of I John. Which, needless to say, I don't remember now because the more 29 you are, the less you remember.
Oh the Opinions I have about the church doing a $4 million renovation and getting rid of the sanctuary and we're now in folding chairs in the gym on Sunday.
To be fair, it's a ten year growth plan and the priority was expanding room for the school but dear sweet merciful heavens, we more than doubled the size and went from a sanctuary to the gym. That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works.

Yup.
I mean, the name's the same and everything but all new branding.
It's interesting because my parents worked with the pastor's parents for years and years and years at a religious institution. I'll have issues sometimes with things our pastor says and I am literally "Dude, I know your parents. I know your professors. I know who taught you Greek since he taught me Greek too. Dude. No."
I really don't think the Horde realizes that when I say I was raised hardcore Evangelical Christian, I mean it.

I wish I could memorize. I've tried and tried. My head is a sieve. Fortunately I have Rev. I can say, "What's that verse were it says temporary light afflictions?" and he's all over it like a dog with a bone. However, if they ever send him to the camps, I'm sunk.
1 John is one of my most favorite books of the Bible. What a treasure to have that stored in your heart. Maybe it slips out of your head, but never out of your heart. You're wonderful.

I want to go back to school for a degree in Haut Auto Nography. I think it's for riding in the back of a limousine with somewhat-attractive test subjects while drinking fancy holiday drinks and measuring the drink-to-hautness ratio.
Excuse me. I have to attend the local h.s. concert.

Remember, it perfectly fine for obama to shitcan that weasely little shit at CIA for the Democrat hack Leon Panetta.
But Trump can't appoint anyone to the FBI unless s/he is "unimpeachable" and "non-political," i.e., a Democrat.
