Tucker Carlson: I'II be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.
It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.
Jane Eyre and Cathy 1 obviously, but I was extending the designation to Mina Harker!

If he meant any of this he'd just retire from commentary because that's the only rational response to getting it this wrong, but instead he's just gonna endorse Vance next year because of under-the-hood articles about how he opposed the war

yes we had someone go see this last night to report exactly what you might imagine www.avclub.com/michael-review
As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
Over my career I saw dozens of excellent teachers leave higher ed because they could not afford to continue to work as NTT faculty. I am a (now) internationally recognized voice on how we teach writing. I was never paid more than $35k a year. This seems like a bigger deal than being too woke.
Manages to get through a call for focusing on teaching and civic purpose without even glancing toward contingency and adjunctification of faculty as perhaps a factor in the problem. A call to change without examining the structures that control higher ed is performative B.S. at this point.
The irony of a tenured full professor at an Ivy League university chastising his colleagues for refusing to "look in the mirror" and dismissing critics while ignoring the overwhelming factors that have led to the problems he outlines (Which I agree with!) is off the charts.
sure it's a tool of social control and surveillance owned and operated by fascists, but it writes work emails for me. on balance who's to say it's good or bad
Naming all of my summer assignments with Austen quotes. The commonplace book is called “Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.”
I really think this is the skeleton key for understanding a lot of American politics.
Democrats getting more backlash for attempting redistricting in Virginia in response to completely unprecedented GOP powergrabs than Republicans have gotten for gerrymandering for decades is extremely grim shit ngl.
thank you bell hooks
We've hit the "Okay, people are hooked so now it's time to raise prices and cut user hours" part of the business, only they haven't made the business indispensable, so let's see how this works out.
Let me recommend grabbing a cup of tea & reading this really thoughtful piece from the inimitable @hogg.bsky.social on moderating AI/LLM use in astrophysics. 🔭
"the real question we face is not ... how we do astrophysics. It is the question of why we do astrophysics."

if the only thing republicans understand is power there are a lot of antidemocratic avenues to seizing power that democrats have more to gain from than republicans. they won't give up their gamesmanship for the sake of morality or democracy, that is very clear. it has to hurt first
we must chase Cat Piss Men back to their rightful place on the fringes of polite society
@ryanboyd.bsky.social
anyway this is why you're getting so many republican attacks on democratic responsive gerrymanders lately. they will not stop. the people using this argument think it's right and just that republicans have a burnt-in advantage
I wish Gaiman wasn't a scumbag because I can't even recommend that any more.
I mean do what you want but there's a gradual and clear drop off in quality as you go. You probably stopped because the later ones aren't as good.
I think from the trailers that they'll be about to keep the character dynamics roughly in the same place and that's what I'm in for. Plus I didn't get to see the original in theaters and I want to see these beautiful clothes at 30 feet tall.
cant believe this man is doing the “but you fuck one goat” joke monologue but unironically
honestly i’m really struggling with the shallow acceptance of the michael biopic. from peers even!!!! i feel insane.
the best (worst) thing is, this could refer to several posts.
It's literally made for me. I am the target audience.
