I think we need a new talk show.

Get trump voters, cabinet members, ice agents on there, let them share their views for five minutes.

Then the host simply nods and asks, "The fuck is wrong with you?"

Arsenio Hall or Wanda Sykes would be top choices for hosting.

If you think I'm going to pay $80k a year in tuition you better believe I want my kid taught by an underpaid human TA who is slowly beating eaten alive by ennui and his marinating feelings of grievance over the impossibility of ever landing a tenure track job.

This is the only way to make transport sustainable and the question is why every capital in Europe is not connected in this way. In UK we should already be planning the high-speed link to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Leeds - and already constructing the line to Manchester

Medical historian here to remind people the start of a pandemic is based on science, while the “end” is based on politics.

What it looks like when you take #ClimateChange seriously and actually value human life over corpo profits.

As opposed to Deniers: "that will never happen again and is definitely not something we need to plan for or change anything we're doing"
