Why is my feed always the place where normies find out that most professors don’t have health insurance and that disorganised prof you hated freshman year had no teaching experience and no one told them where the copy machine was?
What I’m saying is I’m available to do comms for your faculty union
SO thankful to @hwfmorris.bsky.social for including me in this wonderful discussion about one of my favorite composers who just so happens to be having a rather big birthday 😉 (gift link!) www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/a...
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
Can confirm. Unc status is a seat of radical privilege.
A takeaway from this article about a guy making money with an AI-generated "MAGA hot girl" is that of all his attempts it worked best because
-MAGA men fell for it (or were so desperate to believe that they didn't care)
AND
-Liberals posted many negative comments/quotes, boosting it in the algorithm
Secretary of War Pete Hegs... • © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.
General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t.
You dumb chucklefuck.
It's embarrassing to live in a country where the would-be authoritarians are so profoundly and obviously stupid and incompetent, and yet have made it so far.
Like the entire point of a half marathon is to see how fast someone can do *without machine help*

(I was not an instructor for the Artemis team, but an old friend was. And she is rad.)
It's an honor and a joy to work as a field instructor for NOLS.
"Those expeditions place crews in remote, resource-limited environments where communication, leadership and teamwork become essential for safety — conditions that mirror life inside a spacecraft."

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies
everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized
It was an important part of the life in our country.
And they’ve destroyed it. Because they can. Like everything else.

The high school jackpot: getting a very reserved teacher to roll her eyes, shake her head, and fail to stifle a laugh while throwing me out and sending me to the assistant principal.
Gen "AI." Forsooth.
seriously hope when dems get back in power they go after every single fuck involved with DOGE
Absolutely. Also, I don't think I was an outlier when I say I was often looking to get the facade to break. I had goals-- like getting a particular professor to roll her eyes, or get another one to crack up laughing.
Colleague (a friend) then stormed across the hall into my office and demanded I explain what I was doing to our students.
A student once told a colleague they were behind on their paper for my colleague's class, because they were working so hard on mine. My colleague asked the student: Wait, why are you working on HIS paper and not mine?
The student replied: I just don't want to disappoint him.
Hell, yes. The moments I provoked exasperation in my teachers, mentors, professors, were moments of profound learning for me.
You have to admire Donald Trump's laser focus on the issues that matter to Americans the most.
"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...
Pope is playing a theologico-political game of "Dumbass says what?"
And the dumbasses fall for it every time.
Not to spoil the plot of the book @jtomlin.bsky.social and I are writing but Protestants absolutely do crusading and talk about it in similar language and just spit at the Pope and call crusades Romish bullshit while proclaiming theirs the true holy war--Hegseth and Johnson aren't special.
i can't stop thinking about jd vance laysplaining st augustine to the pope
