if that’s the most generous interpretation you can think of, then you must not be thinking very hard Matthew Yglesias ® @mattyglesias 2h The most generous interpretation here is that these people are extremely stupid # StopAntisemitism ® @StopA...3h (Images show messages projected onto a building: glory to our martyrs, divestment from Zionist genocide now, free Palestine from the river to the sea) George Washington University - students are projecting horrifying messages onto a school library building glorifying Hamas terrorists that beheaded babies, raped teenage girls, and murdered 1400+ people. We call on President @PresidentoGW to immediately expel those involved…... Show more DIVESTMENT
like it turns out if you consider it for more than a tenth of a second, there are possible meanings of “martyr” that are actually well attested in this context, and scolding anti-genocide demonstrators over their optics is shitty behavior on a monumental scale

145 attempts in 2022 would mean 0.009% chance. and even if you’re one of the unlucky few to experience a “sanction attempt,” you’ve got a ridiculously good chance of keeping your job anyway lol @theFIREorg: 73% of these a...
3/4 of the attempts were on untenured scholars?? ah well then @TheFIREorg you must be laser focused on labor protections, precarity, adjunctification, that kind of thing.

jerry coyne and richard dawkins: you see, proponents of invalid theories are trying to get legitimized by appearing in educational contexts despite their lack of substance. we shouldn’t allow them a platform lest people be fooled into thinking they’re worth considering!

whatever format her analysis takes, they always pretend she’s just attacking them for no reason
