Pssstโ€ฆcome here. I have something to say.

Closer.

[*whispers in your ear*] Itโ€™s anti-semitism.

Ok, move away from me now.

I think a lot about Aristotle having to leave his library behind at The Lyceum after he was forced out of Athens because of a regime change.

A New York Times story 10 years from now: โ€œAnti-American violence is on the rise abroad, but officials are unsure why.โ€

I really wish @dieworkwear.bsky.social would write a book on American political economy strictly through the lens of menswear. I would absolutely read (and assign) that book.

You would be hard pressed to find a clearer example of someone publicly admitting that they are completely unqualified for their job. She shouldnโ€™t be anywhere near a courtroom.

Misquoting key lines of Watchmen is neither necessary nor sufficient for misunderstanding it completely but there sure is a substantial correlation.

Normal, IL

Normal, IL

Just got back from Normal, IL for a lecture at Illinois State University. Established in 1857 after this small town lawyer named Abe secured the funding. Was reminded once again that US public universities are the triumph of civilization

In hindsight, maybe hoping that norms and ambition-checking would save us was the wrong move.

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something elseโ€”when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARYโ€”is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Just like their legitimization of American fascism in the past decade or two, news media & higher ed will bear substantial blame for boosting this looming economic collapse.

The breathless hysteria with which this problem has been foisted on to the public, especially the Gen Z population, has been staggering.

This is why itโ€™s so important to have the terms authoritarianism, totalitarianism, and fascism clearly defined. The former two are forms of government, while the latter one is an ideology. It requires both being aware of where we are in the democratic backsliding process and what the ideology is.

Sold-out Ta-Nehisi Coates speaker appearance in N.J. canceled over security reasons Organizers canceled a sold-out Ta-Nehisi Coates event in Montclair citing undisclosed security concerns.

Is it cancel culture when they threaten to kill you?

Philosophy as a discipline never dies; it ebbs and flows. But things have a tendency to suck during the ebbs.

Itโ€™s already embarrassing enough to get that fajita plate after it screams its way from the kitchen to your table. Now a guyโ€™s gotta worry about being an object lesson for Nazis minoring in food studies.
