This is good imo: “It takes work. Building things is hard. But it’s better than letting people suffer.”

We don’t give up on common sense solutions when the powerful say our problems are too intractable to solve.

People actually like to root for folks who work hard in the face of tough odds!

If you can’t count on a dot gov website having an accurate copy of the constitution, then I’m not sure who you count on.

There’s now a banner saying they are fixing their “data issues” 🙄 but the instability is itself the problem. Now there’s doubt, and doubt doesn’t go away when the site is fixed.

Ok this is wild

Wanted to tell everyone not in Seattle that we had a primary election last night and all the centrist incumbents, including our Big Loser Energy mayor, city council president, and city attorney, are trailing their progressive challengers.

Yeah I think that’s the problem for me. It’s too close to what is already happening. Hard to do satire when reality is a joke.

Elderdog is very tired from his shift at the keeping me awake all night factory

I don't care what happens to my dead body since i'll be dead and who cares but please never do this to me

Watched Mountainhead and it was almost as unpleasant as living through the actual tech bro apocalypse

I’m sorry. This is so hard.

Remember how the vote totals changed after election night, and it became a conspiracy theory? They are counting on people not understanding how reliable epistemic processes work over time—or that at least they will be open to perceiving model refinement and other processes as suspicious.

Go Phils

Gone to meat their maker

If you can’t beat em

Yeah living in Seattle is great except for the one week a year when your neighborhood sounds like an Air Force base

I still can’t believe this is happening

I for one am desperate for a democratic Senate to stop confirming judges that will take away my family’s rights

An eleven year old rescue mutt sits very politely on a rug in front of a couch covered in a slipcover because he sheds handfuls of fur every day, turning his head and showing puppy eyes because he wants a second breakfast

This is a form of psychological warfare

White and brown puppy with two feet up in my lab and some drool on my shorts. One of his ears is up, but still kind of resting on his head. The other is, I don't know. This boy's ears are strange.

These ears have a mind of their own.

A kitten looking through blinds at the rain

Mingus likes the rain.

A tiny corgi with her ears pulled back, under a sofa with a ridiculously low clearance.

Puppy Sammy, because her squishy face is needed now

Earnest posting: submitted to AERA with a paper I’m actually excited about with a team of smart, caring people I really believe in.

So if you are our reviewer, do the right thing.

Everyone knows that LinkedIn is supposed to be a space for freewheeling political debate, which is why their policies must allow you to get called into HR for bigoted harassment of your colleagues

Fuck this

She’s not unique of course but she would be accurately characterized as a hate propagandist. Should have no place in serious democratic deliberation.

But “we must be willing to pursue change through new methods” makes for a decent coverstory nonetheless.

It is dawning on me that this week’s uncharacteristic productivity and thinking breakthroughs are probably attributable to the extraordinary amount of caffeine I’m ingesting with these marshmallow cold brews

DOJ Investigation into George Mason Faculty Senate Sparks Academic Freedom Concerns AAUP President calls federal probe "gross misuse of power" as university faces fifth inquiry in five weeks.

“If the DOJ can investigate faculty governance bodies for citing a university's own strategic plan, then no campus is safe.

"Let's call this what it is: a gross misuse of federal power to chill speech, silence faculty, & undermine shared governance.”

— Todd Wolfson, AAUP President
