“touch grass” lol congrats on falling for a psyop from Big Tick

Can't wait to get my new passport!

I'd rather be watching Prairie Chickens

To be clear: These people want us dead. Erasing us from history makes erasing us from the present easier, because if we don't have a past or a heritage, how real can we possibly be?

I’ll be at OAH in Philly this weekend! Our panel is on institutional histories which is what I’ve been program managing for the last four years! Come hang out with us on Saturday! of course i made us a logo

Academic work can be bad or misconceived or subject to partisan capture, of course, but a field’s misalignment with the political spectrum outside the field isn’t reliable evidence of that.

For only $5 million, I will disrupt the establishment orthodoxy which has lied to you for years about not being able to divide a number by zero.

This is the natural result of liberals completely caving on the reality that asylum is both a moral imperative and not just legal but required under domestic and international law

Are you going to impeach the president today? No? Then you do, in fact, support making a whole civilization die.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Democrats in Congress must immediately and publicly commit to ratifying the Rome Statute and surrendering Donald Trump (and any American war criminals, including members of their own party) for judgement by the ICC. Anything less amounts to complicity.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

"all writers use AI" nope, get the entire fuck out of here with that

Today's the day.

Genuinely think you're just a paranoid pervert if you're in favour of this kinda thing. Preaching to the choir here I guess, but I dunno emoting into the void.

Sean Wilentz leading the opposition to affordable housing in Princeton is the most Sean Wilentz possible thing (my old standard for this was the class I took where he only assigned books he had written or edited). www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

If/when they escalate…

God bless the bard of Barking… #BillyBragg

unlike all the strident leftists who were correct too early, i am correct at exactly the right time

Nazi storm troopers are occupying an American city. It happened here.

Valid. 🦉

One the one hand, yes - sure. On the other hand arguments (in particular public debates) do fall under the category of "things happening."

I dont see how any of my fellow Jewish Americans can be more fearful of college students protesting about Palestine than they are of a militarized ICE stacked with avowed Hitler supporters

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent

Philosophy is like a box of slop chocolates

I'm ready for apologies from pundits and politicians who showed their bigoted asses and suggested we needed to abandon trans people in order to win. looks like "fairness in girls' sports" wasn't the unbeatable wedge issue you thought it was, was it? kinda makes you look like a dumbass, huh?

Always a good day when I can post the Hopkins monkey story (Washington Post, 10/6/1913)

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

This is awesome. I need an excuse to go to LA between now and May

Hey - the world is dark, but here's a white-headed woodpecker!

I regret to inform you that Gwar has pushed the boundaries of good taste.

“woke right” comes from this incredibly stupid meta idea that “wokeness” is a discrete tendency in american politics whose style has been imbibed by the political right. note: believing this requires you to be almost totally ignorant of the shape of american politics going back to the 1930s.

It may be the first climate-driven bird hybrid found in nature.

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

Revised Second Edition #Columbia #Shame

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

We learned a lot about the Holocaust in Hebrew school and the mantra of "never again." I think most people understood "never again" to mean never again, but Netanyahu and his patrons (there and here) distorted that into "never again, unless we're the ones doing the butchering." Which is nauseating.

They're giddy.

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.
