Thank you @greatbooksprof.bsky.social for this legendary call to action on reading more novelsπŸ“–. Thx for not shying away from authoritarianism and its current impact.

Coaches all around the league adapt to O-line injuries and QBs with far, far less talent than Hurts. They scheme things up to hide weaknesses. Philly? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€‘

Hard to overstate how bad this is for politics.

It's basically the same business model as scam e-mails from a Nigerian prince, except it's way more reliable and profitable, oh, and it destroys democracy.

Reporters and citizens should investigate these kinds of changes thoroughly.

Who "drafted" this new policy? Who initiated this review and change? Who was advocating for it?

Who, specifically, are the people saying "We should relax about swastikas"?

Yawns are weird. You're tired? Why don't you open your mouth really big about it? What's that? You're not tired, but you saw someone else open their mouth big? Well, guess what.

I am writing reference letters. I put a lot of effort into them. They take some doing.

And I'm just thinking, "Man, there must be so many ChatGPT-composed reference letters floating around out there." What a mess...

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Kind of want the Eagles to go down by three scores just to force the OC to call a pass on 3rd and long.

I have a lot to say about the resurgent young men / masculinity discourse but for now will confine myself to:

I wish I knew how to convince teenage boys/young men is how little of the world actually requires or even invites the hypermisogynist "tough guy" aesthetic

Why do you lock your door at night. Is it because you think I'll come in and debate you. Are you afraid of free speech

Seems like only a moment ago that numerous pundits and academics were in a frenzy about "Free Speech on Campus(!)"

Turns out those people weren't concerned about free speech on campus at all.

Other, more competent governments and their leaders are not just going to submit to Trump’s chaotic whims.

Step by step, countries around the world are going to pull away and seek out more reliable trade and security partners.

Opinion | Trump’s Revenge Tour Finds Its True Target (Gift Article) It is hard to describe the president’s first month and a half in office as something other than a retribution campaign against the American people.

tired of people treating trump like he is anything other than an ego-driven simpleton (i wrote this, this is a piece about why he is nothing more than an ego driven simpleton.)
