Her qualifying performance was more respectable but still, I could drive a few miles south and see a better example on the street.

Supposedly, this is from her doctoral thesis:
“I use analytic autoethnography and interviews with scene members in collaboration with theoretical frameworks offered by Deleuze and Guattari, Butler, Bourdieu, and other feminist and post-structuralist philosophers, to critically examine how the capacities of bodies are constituted and shaped in Sydney’s breakdancing scene, and to also locate the potentiality for moments of transgression. In other words, I conceptualize the breaking body as not a ‘body’ constituted through regulations and assumptions, but as an assemblage open to new rhizomatic connections.”
And I thought Harris's word salad was bad.

I know a guy with an astronomy PhD who wouldn't be able to work a telescope if his life depended on it.
And don't even get me started on MBA graduates....

Darn, cannot embed. It links to the men’s final break-dancing battle.
Some pretty impressive artistry there. -

Raygun, the Australian breakdancer who received ongoing backlash for her performance in the Paris Olympics, said she is retiring from competing.
Raygun, whose real name is Rachael Gunn, said on Australian radio earlier this week that she does not want to endure the criticism that would come with future performances possibly being recorded and posted online.
“It’s just not gonna mean the same thing,” she said. “It’s not going to be the same experience because of everything that’s at stake.”

Are you saying she is a heel? Because I think you're right.

I try not to use such strong language, but I think you’re right.
