now and again when I need a little pick me up

Hard to beat.

I am a grown fucking man. I do not need 45 minutes of anti-bullying training at my job.

Retvrn

This one always felt biographical. But also just a nice silly, innocent joke lacking the sting of topicality.

Hey look at this banger of a sunset.

“All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake public opinion for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.” Vladimir Lenin

If I wanted to be torn apart alive, body part by body part by a crowd of people like in Weapons I would say something like "The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

I can't wait to find out what i listened to this year

Voice to text may confuse "ketchup" for "catch up" but it does speak Southern.

People of New Orleans! Do you see ICE agents in action. Report it on Waze as "Icy Conditions." Keep people in the loop.

I believe the correct term is "wook."

I Think Her Party Should Be Making Statements In Her Defense And The Greater Somali Community

A gas station cashier whose register comes up $50 short would be kicked out on his ass. I really can't watch a college football broadcast now without that thinking everyone involved should be nuked from orbit.

One thing I appreciate about Blue sky is how super fast and easy it is to block someone.

One logical conclusion you could draw from this premise is to nuke Wall Street.

Bama not fighting the "racist, sexist tool of the Old South" allegations.

So White Rabbit is San Francisco and We Built This City is LA, but this one always sounded like Detroit to me.

Lot of posts screaming that people discussing the merits of the essay are missing forest for the trees. If you teach and assign essays, though, you have to have an airtight rubric and instructions to throw a zero out there. It's helpful to evaluate how/if this one falls short.

Is it the weekend yet?

Before it absorbed into the substance of my general introduction, I used to have students read this the first week of classes. It's over a decade old and feels almost quaint in its lack of urgency.

This right here. Anyone who's ever written an essay for college, especially if you went to grad school, has had your shit ripped to shreds. I still got my degree, and now I'm the one ripping people to shreds. That's just how it works.

To this day, one of the luckiest failures I have experienced was not getting a job that I realize in retrospect, I was wholly unqualified for. Saved myself a lot of embarrassment there.

I really hope she drinks herself to sleep every night.

It's a Pavlovian response. Like Manchurian candidates, their eyes light up and scream talking points any time a trigger word is mentioned, regardless of the context. To be fair, a lot of annoying people do this.

Fucking YES I've been at this community college for 18 years. I've had nine different presidents.

Last week of classes is me just saying "What's your name again? When was the last time you were here" over and over again.

McLuhan once said that every augmentation is also an amputation. What do we lose when we outsource thinking to AI? My latest for @theatlantic.com: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

All the talk lately about entitled students, and I would argue it's an honest product of this American culture.

They should invent an existence that isn’t suffering

Do you have any idea how tall you have to be to ride a frame that will accommodate a three liter bag ABOVE your mounted 20oz water bottles? For reference, I'm looking at bags that mount above that top tube.

My wokest opinion is probably that the economy of college football coaches is as bad for America as Musk's subsidies or the AI infatuation/bubble.

Just saw Weapons and stuck on figuring out how a single, 3rd grade teacher fired from previous jobs could afford that house.

Day 1 of class every semester: You're not entitled to your beliefs. You're entitled to what you can prove. Part of writing, arguing in general, is working within the paradigm of the field. I can't claim God tells me what grade to give you anymore than you can tell me God told you what to write.

Just gave a cat a bath. Where's my medal?

Now listening

The morning after Thanksgiving poop gets all the glory, but the evening after Thanksgiving poop is the real all-star.

post something random or you'll have an awful December

We made it, guys

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen Beastie Boys Ministry Swans Motorhead The Jesus Lizard

It's thanksgiving and I'm happy to be a sucker for some cuteness.

after the third slice of pie

In spiritual, esthetic and intellectual development they were superior to man as man is superior to the gorilla. But when they reared their colossal city, man's primal ancestors had not yet risen from the slime of the primordial seas.

I took this job because I believe in the values of Hell, I never expected all this pressure

people laughed at the keg guy in slipknot and look at him now
