For anyone else deeply confused by RFK’s recent word salad, here’s the explanation.

Does anyone with an MD have any idea what he thinks he means? Or is it just word salad?

What’s hilarious about parental expectations that “by 40 you should have it all figured out,” is that, when you reach 40, you realize that not only do YOU not have it all figured out, neither did your parents.

Ok the heat is on in my apartment and the a/c in on in the train and y’all nyc weather better make up its mind soon.

It’s Spring Break and hands down the most controversial text I’ve taught all semester was Basil’s “Sermon to the Rich”.

I am so freaking old

Ah dammit

Gen Z/α skeet: ACAB includes teachers/parents/babysitters

Millennials: *slams 6th espresso martini down on the bar* BRING IT ON! WE’VE GOT NOTHING—no, but actually, we, like, have actually nothing—TO LOSE!!!

I see Bluesky is having a real Malcolm in the Middle moment

This entire thread is basically a Malcolm in the Middle episode for all y’all old enough (me) to remember it

Whoever coined the phrase "anti bedtime caucus" for these types really nailed it in one

Do “ACAB means teachers” anarchists know that teachers have made all the criticisms of modern school structures that they’re ineffectually referencing, using language that doesn’t make people immediately dismiss anything they have to say forever

Is there a reason the Dems can’t just run on FDR’s platform (but without all the racism)?

Next go through Charles Burnett’s films. He’s considered one of the most underrated GOAT filmmakers.

So he got credit for TWO women’s work

This says it all: “Carol Steinbeck would also help her husband by not only typing the drafts as he wrote them but with “writing the revision, that is, correcting errors and editing for contradictions and awkwardness.”

This is literally the least surprising information I’ve learned this year. OF COURSE a man took credit for the work of a woman.

Screenshot of text conversation where I say: Irony of the day: In response to an article about how “big data” could be used to improve people’s sex lives, I responded “OR people could just OPENLY COMMUNICATE about sexuality” and facebook removed my comment and locked me out for 24 hours.

For real, everyone I know should be reading The Grapes of Wrath because it’s a novel about right the fuck now and also about what can be done about it.

Screenshot of article from the economist whose headline says “young people are having less fun: youthful excess continues to decline.”

They. Have. No. Freaking. Money.

Yall a 10oz bag of frozen blueberries in nyc is $16

Photo of advert on the nyc subway that reads: your boss has hr, your company has lawyers, you have Jayla, the AI Employee Advocate

Your boss has HR.
Your company has lawyers.
Your late capitalist masters want to replace unions with AI.

Nah I’m good! Just wanted to get a temp check

Anyone else’s pharmacy located in a majority Black/immigrant neighborhood also sold out of diabetic supplies?

I’m looking in the Acts of Thomas 51-53

Ancient history/bible/late antiquity nerds, is it possible for a πανδοκεῖον to mean a brothel?

It’s been a while since I taught international students, and all I’ve got to say is that the American educational system sucks.

One of the most interesting things I’ve noticed in the shift (or schism) in definitions of masculinity in the last 30 years is how Hal, Bryan Cranston’s character in Malcolm in the Middle, would be called a beta simp by a significant number of men on Twitter. And that is absolutely mind blowing.
