I just saw this DHS video. The soundtrack is someone singing “This Land Is Your Land”

Woody Guthrie is turning over in his grave.

Don’t ask me if I’ve read either of the books yet.

Kintsch is tha author of “Comprehension: A Paradigm for Communication,” which I also own a copy of.

Buying a used copy of “On Understanding Grammar” by the linguist Talmy Givon, and upon opening it up, finding this:

Ordered.

Thanks for flagging it

I checked it out...amazing.

Are reproductions of his portraits available anywhere?

Good question, but feel free to reskeet.

I think the Philly Joe is my favorite of these.

He was a very photogenic guy:

Wow. I was totally unaware of this guy. This stuff is incredible.

Congrats. And you’re welcome, but I didn’t do much.

I was there recently for a long weekend.

For most of my time there the heat & humidity oppressive, and kept asking, aloud, “Why the fuck would anyone want to live here.”

Then we went to Central Market, which, holy fuck, now I get it.

An hour later, tho, I was back to “why the fuck wd anyone, etc

Great album.

Either retrain oneself or restrain oneself.

My favorite thing is when “Do not circulate” appears on a paper posted on SSRN.

Nah, it’s an easy call. Go with whichever one doesn’t put Arby’s in her pants.

OMG, did she really refer to Dem legislators saying that the detention facilities they were allowed to see were “sanitized facilities,” and then criticize them for complaining that “the facilities were too clean”?

And let's not forget that Scalia, and Heller, were totally wrong about the meaning of "bear arms."

"We need to unite the country," she says, as the Administration pursues policies that treat large segments of the population as criminals and worse.

I used to live in that neighborhood. I was terrified to leave the apartment, what with all violent crime (not to mention the criminal violence), but Los Hermanos (Dominican Restaurant) was soooooooooo good…

How many words do they have for “sandwich”?

But if you don’t post a comment saying that you don’t have anything to say, and that you are therefore going to refrain from commenting, so as not to normalize posting comments that don’t say anything, how can your decision not to post serve as an example for others to follow?

How is it that I knew, just from looking at the picture, that you were the person who reskeeted it?

Pretty much sums up the whole situation

Carrying on the tradition of Nick Johnson.

DHS/ICE “confirmed” they never got it?

Don’t you mean they *claimed* they never got it?

That one wins the award.

Pardon my ignorance, but…

“…out Goethe’s a plan of action”?

Not to mention that social mistrust goes both ways. I, for one, don’t trust authoritarians and those who support them, but I guess that doesn’t count.
