Can’t stop laughing Image
Tracey: “How, precisely, will your argumentative strategy unfold? Walk me through the steps.”

<Barnes ghosts Tracey to go trick or treating with his bros>

Tracey: “Well, you’ve got an important message to share with the American people, so buddy, YOU’RE BOOKED”
Thought my follow-up tweet in this thread made it plain what I was laughing at but I guess not.

The funniest aspect of this for me had to do with the way Twitter formatted the procession of tweets. ImageImage
I realize Barnes did give Tracey an answer, but the way it appeared here—and I did not manipulate the formatting at all—was Tracey trying to preemptively clear Barnes's views but then just lazily booking him even though Barnes fled the scene.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great sadness that I report I've been FACT CHECKED™ Image

I understand the concerns about academic fields uncritically adopting boutique progressivist buzzfare. But the dimensions of race and class are absolutely germane to the broader inquiry into “public health.” ImageImageImage
Smart “anti-SJW” people should drop people like Lindsay just like smart “SJW” people should drop people like DiAngelo. They are enemies of nuance. The world is too complex for them.
Like you, but at a far lower level of recognition, I'm a discourse curator. I have a newsletter I'm about to relaunch on this very theme. I run a site in which I try to sift good commentary from bad.

a lib's dream: changing vote totals on dominion election software, accessed exclusively via Hunter's laptop, stored on Hillary's private server.
a lib's nightmare: patriotic poll watchers bursting through the door with a warrant that's really just a realDonaldTrump tweet that says "you're fired"
a lib's revenge: memorizing all 98,999 pages of obama's first eleven memoirs so that no one can plagiarize him without consequence

Something I haven't touted as much, though I want to now, is @ArcDigi's commitment to publishing *historical* columns. Our main focus is on current events. But this world did not poof into existence five minutes ago—so history will continue to be a key offering in Arc's lineup.
Here's a piece we just published by @NathGAlexander on the controversy surrounding a work called "Black Athena," which takes us to ancient Greece, Africa, and to investigating whether retrofitting our concepts of race represents unjustified anachronism.

Here's a piece we published a few days ago by @LDBurnett on the effects that a shift in publishing models in earlier centuries had on the world of literature, and on the fortunes of writers. She then ties it in to a shift we might be seeing today.

Hope the history books record that, after the vaccine announcements, the president was radiating with fully earned acclaim for his heroic efforts to just exist as scientists independently saved our tails.
Also, I'm sure the "historians" will waste no time crediting Trump now that he's warmly suggested they're not true chroniclers of the past by putting their research field in quote marks.

Sure, it’s easy to make fun of him but I’ll remind my followers that so far no one has disproved his important hypothesis that demons frequently fly commercial.
As justifications for buying private jets go, it's not the worst in the world.
I don't want to fly in a tube with demons, I don't want to watch YouTube with demons, I don't want to canvass for Tuberville with demons. I don't want any of it.
