University of Oregon football will damage the brains of their students on national television in a stadium that holds tens of thousands of people all Fall but the high school debate tournament they have hosted for generations is too expensive.

Everybody got that?

Reading about symbolic convergence theory and thinking about what happens to Others when they are included in “we” as opposed to when they are not.

From the Falls of Multnomah to the college dorms at Reed

we will fight our nation’s battles in the air on land and sea …

If you believe in “2nd Amendment Solutions” then you gotta expect some dubiousness when you try to lecture people on how bad political violence is.

A lot of the same people saying you should not celebrate political violence are also calling for retribution if not civil war. That’s confusing.

The Supreme Court says colleges can’t consider race. But ICE can. So much for the justices' promise of a "colorblind Constitution."

The Supreme Court is forging an America where weighing race can be used to harm minorities, but not to protect them.

Every day the Yankees are out of

Snoop Dog is threatened by same sex couples but more than willing to profit from misogyny - everybody got that?

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is degenerative, irreversible, and inexorably linked to football.

“This is supposed to be a HAPPY occasion!

Let’s not BICKER and ARGUE about who [enslaved] who!”

Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

The official voice of the US government is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us? Joking memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

When Trump was first elected this is right where my head went - at this point now it is just getting scary.

Best part of focusing a study on cinematic renditions of Superman only is now that you get to exclude Dean Cain.

If you fire the people saying BlueSky is dying and hire people saying it is growing faster than ever then you solve the problem. It’s gangbusters over here. Nobody has seen numbers like these. Yuge, etc.

Y… you get ASKED about your research!?!!?

@clairewillett honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion 6:00 PM • Aug 12, 2020

Hasan is one of the only public personalities I know who talks about his time in competitive debating. I often wonder what his thoughts are about the value of debate education.

Everyone says “we should go back to teaching debate,” half the problem is nobody knows that we DO.

This is also how I do minecraft

Something about critical ethnography - Soyini Madison anyone?
