Hear me out but what if we made decisions based on what was correct rather than based on what 4-6,000 randos who respond to a spam text from a survey company think.

Have you considered holding your own moral stance on an issue, at any point?

What is the alien wizard's policy platform WRT housing??

Especially when the status quo includes efforts to deny healthcare, and what's needed is a candidate who actively affirms right to live and receive care.

I obviously won't.

But... if RFK jr. had somehow filled in the void left by Biden in '24, would you have blamed anyone for not voting for him? What about Elon Musk? If it sounds like I'm being pedantic, remember that both have at times been darlings of the center-left, just as Newsom currently is.

Yeah, the glee and smugness of AI boosters when they say things like "so what if it can't really think? Maybe humans can't really think either, do we know if they can?" is what puts the most sand in my gears.

That and, you know, the plagiarism and surveillance state stuff.

Exactly! They act like the primary has already ended, which really gives the game away when they're rallying behind an objectively underqualified candidate.

There are dozens of better options than Gavin Newsome who, lest we forget, almost did not survive a recall attempt in his own state; parties with Ben Shapiro on the reg; cackles with delight and glee while voluntarily being videoed breaking down homeless encampments; sucks on basically every issue.

Hope you look within your soul and after a deep inhale run out to buy some febreeze.

The founding fathers were literally creating newspapers to print lies about each other - and they didn’t invent that either! Cicero gave speeches where he suggested his opponents were evil supernatural entities! People famously love to tell little stories about stuff they hate!

Also, with all due respect - if this is a prank, it isn't very funny

"We don't see any evidence that students are faking disabilities... but for the sake of argument..."

If you don't see that there's any evidence than why are you citing the sources making the argument without evidence?

More bullshit on accommodations. Sources from 2002, and about adolescents.

I have so many questions

Regarding the 2020 election, Trump asserted that "first is worst, second is best" and that therefore, the results should be decertified. He also made allegations regarding the hairiness of the 3rd place candidates chest which our reporting could not verify. (I'll stop here, I promise).

President Trump suggests he may in fact be made of rubber and that the American people are constituted not of flesh, as historically believed, but of glue. If this is true, we can expect for criticisms of Mr. Trump to bounce off of him and stick to those voicing them. Some experts disagree.

Next up on his speaking tour, an appointment to finally address his stance on whether boys and girls rule or drool, respectively.

People tend to forget that disability is not just one thing - I'd never judge someone for handling their disability differently than I handle mine - because our experiences are almost certainly wildly different, even if we ostensibly have the same diagnosis.

I think Matt Walsh could still read Catcher in the Rye and think you were supposed to want to emulate Caulfield. His brain is not for the trypophobic.

That would be a great question to ask the author of the post this is a reply to instead of the person (correctly) dunking on it.

Someone should tell him that in order to qualify as a himbo you have to be, you know, hot

Sure, I spend all of my time making half-cocked political takes that amount to "the world would be better if people who disagree with me would shut up." Yes, I'm often wrong.

But the real problem is that people are telling me, the world's most special boy, to shut up. In this essay, I will...

If you aren’t willing to even entertain the idea of defending trans rights then you are not meaningfully pro trans rights

Also we don’t have to die on this hill, the anti-trans agenda is wildly electorally unpopular in most of the country

Also if enough of us get on the hill we don’t have to die there. We can build a quaint village there and live fruitful lives while the transphobes go feral living in caves somewhere else

Colleges Don’t “Over-Accommodate” Disabilities (opinion) A certain genre of articles skeptical of higher ed’s disability accommodation process fuels attacks on civil rights.

New from me and a colleague today in @insidehighered.com

This has been on my mind for some time as a parade of articles like the recent piece in the Atlantic have attacked the work of my field to support disabled students. Proud to see it live! #accessibility #accommodations #disability

These are my senators, man - I don't know how many times I can leave messages with them letting them know I will vote for any primary challenger if they keep this shit up. I guess they want to be primaried, or have already decided to retire (I can dream).

They look like they are ready to get a nice haircut

Is... is delicately calibrated moral compass supposed to be an insult here?

I don't think she makes it 4 states deep in a proper primary without serious contortion by the DNC - but that contortion is not impossible!

I think posting takes like this as a white guy should require a breathalyzer type device that instead of checking your blood sugar it just checks if you've deeply read at least 1 piece by like Paolo Freire or similar.

I say that as a white guy. We gotta get dudes like this off the road.

I dunno about the hot stove reflex. He's been really groping some hot stoves these days. He might just be sort of like a plant turning his head towards the brightest lights (nicest things said to him) and away from harmful stimuli (criticism).
