Them: hey, you're pretty Lefty, how come you don't subscribe to Jacobin?
Me: *taps sign*👇
That take calls for one of the classics:
Anyway, Tankie Twitter remains a trash fire
The Discourse™ continues, I see
"All my supporters agree with my USSR takes. They're just out of frame, urging me to stand firm"

Bad ways to market your book, a primer:
1. Send an email with no salutation, context, or anything to suggest why I'm getting it
2. Have said email be an essay that veers fully into get-off-my-lawn territory early and often
3. Make said essay 5,557 words long (27 fucking pages)
I read the whole thing because I saw it as a personal challenge. It's soooo goddamn tedious--a classic case of an Ivy-leaguer universalizing their own idiosyncratic context to make a Bold Claim™ that ends up being "I don't like what the kids are doing today."
And the other Bold Claim™ is that higher ed needs to focus on teaching, to which I would reply:
1. Yes, but there are many folks saying that, and doing it better than you
2. You have a great teaching & learning center on your own campus that you seem completely ignorant of.

Thread--the Justice Department must intervene in Rutherford County, Tennessee, and someone has to remove the corrupt AF white ladies running this kid-jailing system.
This is the judge. An incompetent Jesus freak who gets off on jailing kids.
This is the head jailer, an uber-Karen who makes rules up on the fly to justify caging kids.

This reads like what would happen if Sigmund Freud and Col. Kurtz from "heart of darkness" started a thread on a subreddit about dicks
Rod Dreher wrote about what he called a "primitive root weiner" and boy howdy if you didn't think racism, imperialism, and gender were fundamentally intertwined I would like to introduce you to exhibit A right here

I know there will be scolds who lecture me about "different buckets of money" and all that, but the fact remains that institutions are getting wealthier yet faculty (and thus students) are being treated as if the university is broke. It's mission failure. dukechronicle.com/article/2021/0…
"Massive financial deficits" are not the same thing as "the returns are good but not the massive ones we wanted." This is like the owners of billion-dollar sports teams who claim crippling losses every year and cry poor when it comes to labor salaries. It's simply not true.
This reminds me of the saying (I don't call it a joke because it's kinda true) that Harvard is a hedge fund that has a side gig as a university.
