The problem is no longer limited to boomers.
Pitch for a reality TV show: we just document how hard it already is to become a citizen and people think, gee, maybe this should be easier?

I know that weβve had a month worth of further constitutional crises but Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still in custody in El Salvador and that central crisis is a continuing fact.

I also don't know if I am broken inside because I can't tell if I prefer here or the feral place
Apparently so many academics are leaving Twitter that it is better to post here?

Every time I check in here, half the posts are criticizing Elon.
Honestly, it isn't terrible.
Observers: Hanania is pretty racist.
All too many people: Oh, no, he's an enlightened centrist?
Old Hanania material: I'm REALLY REALLY racist.
ATMP: either a) crickets chirping or b) ah well nevertheless or c) the wokesters made me ally with him.

18.07.2023 11:45 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Getting a PhD is pretty awesome in ways I didn't expect, but cool AF epigraphs were definitely on my to-do list. Academics: What are your favorite epigraphs in your own work?
Mine (so far): juxtaposition of Voltaire's Royal Exchange and Luke Comb's Back 40 Back.
So far the strongest genre of post here is the critique of other networks. We have to move on eventually, right?

08.07.2023 12:37 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I am both glad and mildly concerned about the relatively fine-grained filtering mechanisms on here.
Glad because filtering/moderation is one of the crucial services SocMed has to offer.
Concerned because mucking it up has terrible consequences. (note: not doing it all has terrible consequences!)
Glad to be here. I'm a PhD candidate in political theory at UNC-Chapel Hill working at the intersection of religion and market-oriented liberalism.
I also post long threads about the virtues of Taylor Swift's music on occasion.
So, you know, I give the people what they want.
