I’m not gonna do the “why no Texas/south” thing, cuz I totally get the logistical difficulty and cost of planning these tours.

Ok maybe a little. . .

Why no Texas? 😢😢😢

And even without the fake post, that AI writing style would be enough to earn a block.

Great work! I can see that going on my Public Opinion syllabus.

No, Hegseth didn't try to pass off a Pulp Fiction monologue as real scripture. Watch the full clip - he explains what he's doing before the part that's going viral here.

Your influencers lie to you too. It's an unfortunate byproduct of the intersection of polarization and the attention economy.

Oof, a new stat crime for my methods class.

Counterpoint: they don’t need to cede all agenda-setting power to his whims.

Censure and. . .uh. . . what was that phrase again?

Nor should the ones who served honorably.

The state of academia: I just had a tooth pulled, and it’s very important not to raise my blood pressure for the next 24 hours.

So even though I’m behind on grading, I can’t touch any of it because the rampant cheating is too aggravating.

Early in our marriage, I drove my wife to a rural area north of Dallas so she could fulfill her dream of skydiving.

He and I are not the same.

Pet Shop Boys' Please was a big one as a teen. I wore the grooves down to nothing on Side 1. I listened to Side 2 a couple of times and nothing stuck.

Actually, a lot of '80s albums were like that.

Well that sucks. Hopefully it’s the worst thing that happens in the world today - but I’m not optimistic.

If your favorite influencer convinced you that Trump might have died this weekend, then find better influencers.

I guess that’s the male equivalent to, “not knowing what else to do, woman bakes American flag cake.”

Jeez, Cruz’s take was hackneyed back in like 2004 when the red-blue divide trope was just getting its legs.

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton.

His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs.

They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

Even the non-rusty ones do that to me routinely.

OK, so not in a cavity per se. But for whatever reason, they have a poorly calibrated sense of where my leg stops and my private region begins.

Today I had my first student ever who wasn’t familiar with the Access Hollywood tape. In just a few years, I’ll have to show it to them because that will be the norm, not the exception.

Was he quoting Yoda in the last line?

Incredible

Jeez, even the Duke *announcer* works the refs.

Tar Heels don't have much to celebrate lately -- but that'll hold us over for a while.

In the last 24 hours:

-ARIZONA (my childhood team) first Final Four in 25 years.
-TCU Women advance to Elite 8.
-duke eats shit in historically epic fashion.

You’re just mad cause you missed the Benny and Nick thing until after it was played out.

Revolution Earth by the B-52s

All of the guys claiming it would happen were killed.

“According to anonymous officials, person A told person B that Trump said something.”

Give me a break. We’ve been doing this for 10 years and it only leads to more unfocused rage.

Amusing incongruity of the day: they’re playing a Radiohead playlist at our dogs’ agility training.

Nah. The only way to get Republican buy-in is to spread rumors on X that it's Adam Schiff or Chuck Schumer doing it.

Amazing graphic. Notable too that 2 of the top 3 blue accounts mainly post clips of Republicans saying dumb things, while most of the red ones are openly white nationalist.
