I'm hyped to share my new essay in the latest issue of Capacious! "Always the Horizon: Forces, Futurities, and the Churn of White Nationalism" PDF here--> capaciousjournal.com/media/339

My kid just learned that his short story received a golden key in the NATIONAL Scholastic Art & Writing awards! This is HUGE! Awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall in June!

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t ever really want to do it, but I bet it feels really satisfying to hit someone in the face with a frying pan

Update: Chonk size harness works

Looks like I’ll be enduring the humiliation of having to return a “cat harness” due to chonk-related difficulties.

Colin Wright is the Riley Gaines of academia: making a grift off of being 5th place and mistakenly believing that they always deserve 1st.

New catchphrase just dropped

I was much more excited about this tweet when I thought the three letters after “c—-“ were different.

Imagine how awesome it would be if they could invent a printer that consistently worked.

I’m watching the horseshoe theory unfold at 3x speed.

This right here. My dad once broke his arm while slipping on ice and then finished a full day as a mechanic (went to ER after work). That’s not ideal, but hyping Trump as “macho” is laughable. All he does is whine about how people are “mean” to him. This is some weak shit no matter who you are.

I can’t imagine posting this without being blackmailed. God, I hope Newt Gingrich is being blackmailed right now.

Stop using facial ID and fingerprint right now to unlock your phone and go with a passcode. Passcodes are protected under fifth amendment in a very clear way that biometric data is not. Just do this one thing real quick.

I *am* alarmed by rising antisemitism--not "on the left" or on the right, but in the air, everywhere. Which is *why* NYT inaccurately describing Mamdani as "anti-Israel" in a news article upsets me. We Jews have real problems. Mamdani, who opposes Israeli Right's idea of Israel, isn't one of them.

Suddenly, when they least expected it, a horseshoe appeared in the heavens. It almost seemed as if socialism had been part of their magical journey the whole time. 🌈

“Trump border czar Homan, wife ‘living separately’ because of death threats” This is a real shame. Hard to be separated from your family, right? thehill.com/homenews/adm...

My essay, “Based Books: White Nationalist Strategies for a Post-Print Age,” is out in the latest issue of The Journal of Right-Wing Studies today! Feel free to read, if you’re “into” that kinda thing! escholarship.org/content/qt89...

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

Pre-glitter version, but still: LFG

Ready

(Literal) White House social media propaganda source is a neo-Nazi Really running out of ways to say there's no (figurative) paper walls between these guys.

This post thread is just…sigh. Fucking unbelievable

I wish this was me being airlifted out of the planet

I’d normally feel ok realizing that this 250 year experiment was over, which I always saw coming. But now I have kids. And so I gotta actually do shit to fight for them. Speaking as one parent to another: if you have kids and aren’t ready to riot, then you are a fucking shit parent.

Worth noting LBJ used the National Guard to protect and expand civil rights; DJT is doing exactly the opposite.

They are good in many other ways also.

Because Republican Senators, particularly so called "Dr" Bill Cassidy. Get Ready ⚰️💀🥀

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

So NOW is it legal to egg a cybertruck?

The Katie/Stephen Miller storyline just got even better.

Everyone on Twitter right now.

Basically, humanities scholars who have turned into cops should embrace their role! Let the world know!

I’ve served as an NEH reviewer in the past, and it was a great experience. HOWEVER, at this point, if you serve as an NEH reviewer, you are a snitch and a stool pigeon. By all means, though, I encourage you to list it on your CV.

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

@newyorker.com: “Should we platform this Nazi who seems legitimately dangerous right now? Yes? Okay, but should we feature the story with a whimsy pic of him? Also yes? OKAY!”

Can anyone explain the far-right appeal of Paul Ramsey? I find him a snooze, even as someone who studies this shit.

Literally makin’ s@&t up

If academics wrote books like substack bros. “If you’ve been with me for a while you know that I like to go DEEP into a topic. That’s just who I am. Well this new book goes extra hard & I’ve written 90k words on my fave subject. But bear with me, folks, it’s gonna be a wild ride, so buckle up.”

Still skeptical of this being whirring through this self

I hate that I immediately knew what this was referencing, and that there was an image accompanying it in my head. A terrible, horrifying image.

Hundreds of thousands claim that Q is sending them secret messages through 8kun. Let’s fucking go.

I told my 14-yo I would love to just watch a movie of his choice tonight. He chose “Driver” with Ryan Gosling. I held my tongue (mostly) throughout the entire cheesy slop of script/direction. And you know what? If you’re not being an asshole, movies can be enjoyable. That’s what I learned.

I know there are good far-right and extremist researchers I’m connected with here, so I’m reaching out to see if anybody knows about Charlotte/Charly Fang, the Milady “cult,” KaliAcc, etc. (If you have no idea what these mean, don’t waste time going down this very dumb rabbit hole, btw.)

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

The most righteous shit you've heard in a long time followed by "it's the left's fault for pronouns." Fuck you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBcG...

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

There's always a tweet.
