holy shit this is a helluva ad. this is what i want to see more of from the democrats.

I’m sorry, did you say massive pepper Grindr?

Me, being left behind…❤️

There’s a reason why that’s considered a conspiracy theory. It’s absolute bollocks and there are mountains of evidence to that effect.

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

And I know exactly which Oxfordian nutter you’re talking about. The level of vitriol that lunatic has spewed at Shakespeare scholars around the world should earn him online stalking charges.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison

But sure he is stark mad

if we actually get a senior political figure excommunication then just a heads up that every single medievalist on here, we’re gonna lose our entire shit

Where’s your reporting on the “Justice Department” becoming weaponized to persecute anyone who stands up to Trump? All you need to do is report the facts instead of kissing orange ass.

Do you always ask open-ended questions likely to appear in a stranger’s feed and get pissy when they’re answered?

“The” sex joke - singular? Umm…there’s LOADS of them. Granted, many of them are more subtle. Are you referring to the “shall I lie in your lap” moment?

OooOOOHH. Guess you told me off. Let me know when you want to compare life experience, degrees, and professional accomplishments.

My Child. “Slapstick” (from the Italian “Battachio”) comes from the literal stick used to make a slapping sound, first in Commedia dell Arte, then lovingly ripped off by Shakespeare (Ex: “The Comedy of Errors”) and Punch and Judy shows. Deep British roots.

I’m one of your MA constituents and a longtime supporter so I mean no disrespect, but HOW will they be held accountable? Given everything that Trump got away with the first time, how are we to believe that justice will prevail now?

The reprehensible story that Trump and Hegseth are now telling about this war is that threatening genocide and civilizational erasure is *good,* because it bends the world to Trump/American will. We need to take this on directly.

Some thoughts on this idea here:

This will be the only presidency that ages the US population instead of the president.

“Cupid’s butt-shaft is too hard for Hercules’ club…” So yes, you were.

I have no obligation to like, or even pretend to like modern takes on Shakespeare when the vast majority of them fail to understand the original.

Oh, but they do. At least I do, anyway.

And it can’t happen soon enough.

Vance isn’t capable of being a cult figurehead like his boss.

That is an utterly bullshit take, and proof that you’ve never known any good organists.

Come on then, and remove him.

AGREED. So just what in the bloody hell are your colleagues doing about it? “We the People” are down to a very few drastic choices. Congress has abandoned us.

Overhead in the pub earlier:

Can someone please just Old Yeller old orange?

And THAT’S what gets accounts blocked.

I did.

No, “most Americans” fucking do not support this.
