That’s inhumane.

Can we just agree that Nate Silver is one of history’s greatest clowns?
My longstanding beef with him kind of pales in respect to *waves at everything* but the man is a fool who has done a lot to make everyone just a little bit dumber.

I played the PS5 demo this weekend and it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

We need a Clippy-like character for journos so that when they go to publish something like this, Clippy pops up and says “Are you sure you want to publish something this stupid and tone-deaf and really stupid?”
It could be named Dippy or Quippy…

As an adjunct, I teach bc I love it, I’m good at it and I don’t want to do anything else. I accepted the low pay, the unstable schedule, no retirement, etc. It hurts to have taught at the same school for 7 years and know that any quarter- my dream job might end and never return.

The Satanic Temple (TST) also provides direct services. I bought 2 “get out of pregnancy free” cards for strangers this Christmas.

I would love to assign this to my students this quarter. I talk a lot about the Reconstruction As in terms of “membership” in the Constitution but this would make things more concrete and connect to current issues. Can’t wait to read the book.

Watching this makes me feel like I’m having a stroke.

Of all of the hypocrisies, this one really takes the cake. LBGTQIA+ kids are at a much higher risk for human trafficking. After all of the Nazi bluster and conspiracy about Wayfair trafficking children and pizzagate and constant FB xenophobic human trafficking memes…this.

So the Bostock Title 7 case isn’t good law anymore?
Gorsuch wrote it for fuck’s sake.

Like, you want to remove every minority and the people who love them from American life and work? Here’s a little taste of what that’ll be like.

Me too. The only hard part of telling students the truth is having to make all new Power Point presentations.

Watching the gov’s non-response to this makes me really understand the folks who move to Innsmouth or enroll in Moskatonic University. They’re always like “Oh no! It’s a Cuthulu.” And everyone else is like *shrug*, “What’d you expect?”

This is so typical. These fucks call everything “human trafficking” and use it to excuse their political violence. But actual human trafficking? Nbd.

I teach all week. Saturday, I literally can’t speak or look at anyone. It’s great for my marriage.
