Alan Dershowitz only aligns himself with republicans bc he knows the nickname “Derp No Wits” is right at hand with Trump, and far too devastating to risk

If I was an MMA fighter my ring name would be "City Hall," because you can't fight me, because I would never do MMA, much too scary

If I was a writer on The Pitt, I would introduce a nurse named Dirk who faints at the sight of needles, and every scene, in the background, Dirk just falls over

Seeing a lot of people saying "wow you can post your way to anything" which, yes, by any chance have you followed the career arc of Donald Trump

Hate it when I diligently cape for someone on the (spurious) basis of disability/worker rights, and then they gleefully take a big pile of money from the Koch Foundation lmao. What an absolute clown show

Who amongst us has not taken $175,000 from the Koch-funded libertarian think tank at the heart of years of deregulation policy rather than unmute ourselves during a Google Meet

Bringing my apricot labradoodle Bone Iver to the gentrification protest

I am likewise fascinated by it, and for the same reasons. It is 100% a proxy war being waged by people who otherwise have nothing to do with HDW, but who are emotionally invested in seeing someone wield power against an institution via this kind of weaponized incapacity

A funny thing with this whole stupid episode is how very hard many people have tried to pain WC as being anti-disability when HDW herself is like "I'm not disabled, I was very tired lol"

But Tom she has ADD and was very tired!

The avidity with which people—many of whom are grown-up artists who should know better—bought an unstable person's narrative and have vilified a prize org that were trying to give her a lot of money is part of a larger trend we've seen over and over in recent years

It's really funny how in an era of almost complete and total arts defunding, with slashed budgets for grants and virtually no institutional support for creative people anywhere, the left and progressive artists seem so eager to tear down any remaining organization who offers help

it should be noted that HDW has a decades-long track record of this kind of thing—she cannot get along with anyone, she recently quit a residency that paid 4K a month bc she had to occasionally interact with staff. Her defenders are being embarrassingly credulous about her ostensible difficulties

Maddening!

My wife: Drive safe!

My wife: God you just don't fucking listen

the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents

A glorious minor thing about this loss is that Mullins' three will be replayed constantly during March Madness, and Dook fans will get to enjoy reliving it as UNC fans have gotten to enjoy Kris Jenkins' shot for the last ten years

I hope everyone on Scheyer’s staff is safe and they haven’t been imperiled by someone celebrating too hard on UConn

I guess Duke didn’t have enough first rounders. Maybe if they’d also had Dybantsa and Peterson

ahahha Duke! The world is healing!

I feel like you can pretty accurately gauge the health of the national psyche by the pants people are buying/wearing, which is to say absolutely depressed and unhinged

Speaking as a professor, I guess I have to give AI this much credit: I now feel relief and happiness, rather than irritation and dread, when I start reading a student submission and the writing is clunky and bad

I am not saying Bill Simmons ought to be tried and executed in The Hague for this, that this and his body of work represents war crimes against humanity. I am definitely not saying that

Anyone who uses the phrase "gallows humor" has never been to an actual gallows. A wooden ladder and platform with a beam overhead, nothing remotely funny about it
