Those are the Trump administration's priorities. Not "ours."

I'd go beyond "generally." *Invariably.*

We listen *very* carefully to what our grad students tell us about interviewees.

Seriously: how bad a writer do you have to be to write worse than an LLM?

I mean, unless you're just a bad writer.

I don't believe this for a moment.

I cannot imagine how you think that post helps anyone at all.

That snot-nosed little shit can cry hard as he wants. He will always be hated by his betters, which is nearly everyone.

Just the most pudding-brained nonsense imaginable.

To say nothing of the primary campaign of George McGovern.

Those are the words of a person who knows *nothing* about the primary campaigns that earned first terms for:

• Jimmy Carter
• Ronald Reagan
• Bill Clinton
• Barack Obama
• Donald Trump

As I said.

And get Warren's name out of your mouth.

That's a block.

Sanders on past praise for Gabbard: ‘That was way back when’

Yeah, those post office re-namings were really something.

It's not doing a lot of work if you were not unconscious at the time.

Pithier to say you have no idea how primaries work.

Wait until you see the back of the pants.

4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag › Title 4 › CHAPTER 1 The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall ...

Nope. That was different, and also bad.

It was widely reported in the news. Very few people were bright enough to care.

I feel this to the bone. I'm so sorry for your loss, Kate.

I was born there and am ashamed of what the place has become.

Well, it’s out in the world. I’m cooking dinner, but will have more to say about this tomorrow — a problem we started working on 6 years ago, but that I’ve been thinking about for more than a quarter century.

True from day one of his first term.

Rule #1 from the Trump administration: the have already hired the best people who would work for them. From here forward it only gets worse.

There’s an aggressively online guy at one of the right-wing news sites who, on the other site, would occasionally inundate my mentions with idiots with some tedious quote-tweet. I hadn’t seen his byline in a while so I Googled and it turns out he’s the spokesperson for a federal agency now

I made a mistake looking into replies. If you're still actively using Twitter you're swimming in a cesspool of the most vile shit imaginable. At this point I just assume you absorbed the stench to the point you don't notice it anymore.

Great thread, Craig. Thanks!
