Run back Daniel Craig as James Bond but this time he has to do it as Benoit Blanc

Also me to my Gen Z students

my hot take for the day: cast iron pans are overrated have to be cleaned by hand 👎 don't cook particularly well 👎 heavy 👎 I think people turn them into a whole thing because they're old-timey (and fairly cheap)

Predicting a return to reading books. It will be on the frontier of resisting subjection.

"Why don't we, a group which culturally eschews higher education, have a larger presence in institutions predicated on higher education?"

Looking for recommendations: who in academia is writing about the social phenomenon of grift (health, political, otherwise)? Any leads out there for who is writing/thinking about this? #academicsky #sts #sociology #polisky #socialpsyc 🗺️ #geosky

*un-shreds your wheat*

Day before spring break:

Billionaire Montana Senator is such a disgusting combination of words

That evangelical impulse to find new ways to cast yourself as a victim

English rural life finds a way

YOU ASKED FOR THIS! Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

<cries in millennial>

Strong agree

If, like me, you're having a week of personal and professional bummers, it may lift your spirits to learn that Tana French's new book comes out this month www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-keeper...

“This is where we are at now, that to simply tell a fairly large portion of American Evangelicalism that they need to love their neighbor as a human being worthy of dignity and respect is “woke”.” open.substack.com/pub/jaymallo...

In today's roundup (March 5, 2026), we have evangelical responses to James Talirico's primary victory in Texas and a whole lot more: thewayofimprovement.blog/2026/03/05/e...

He sounds like a great boss

The Old Farmer's Almanac telling me when I can start my cannabis seeds this season, what a time to be alive

At this point, the only thing we can imagine is that Republicans absolutely fucking hate our country and want to destroy us all by refusing to remove a pedophile demonic epic failure currently staring WWIII.

This book looks AMAZING and I just preordered it! Release day is right before my birthday so it will be a little present to myself

Congratulations on your win! I teach a class on Discourse and Democracy at Appalachian State -- would you like to come talk to my students?

If Trump endorses Cornyn will Paxton actually drop out?

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war. War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

Religious left! let’s do this!

Talarico loves the lord and hates the billionaires and I want to see that combination a lot more often

r/atheism would lose their minds

I have nothing insightful to say about the world right now so I’ll just retweet people who do, and also post dog pics Here is Zady. She’s “not allowed” on this couch

Forget about deserving to die. Why does the right to kill expand so precipitously when those being killed live in a different country, speak a different language, and worship a different god?

Love this insightful mum: “Be careful not to get sucked up in the slime-machine going on here,” she wrote back, adding, “Since you don’t care that much about money, they can’t buy you.”

insert "students" for "tenants" and a lot of this sounds like teaching

For many in the US today, their beliefs are written first by their politics and only a distance second by their faith; and if the two conflict, they’ll go with ideology over theology any day. Leaders like Leo help us see the difference: and I’m pretty sure they would call Jesus even worse things.

There are 600 stories like this and every one of these people will be throne-sniffing to the point of asphyxia again in a week. We’ve been over this 1,000 times. There’s no point.

I think regular concerned Americans need to take over these soft treading "journalists." Give me the microphone 🎤

Blasphemy

That was kind of Trump's message? but I see why it worked lol

Unpopular criminal President continues to do unpopular criminal things

It's liiiive youtu.be/-DF_Qn9St7M

Trump has been searching since term 1 for his “killed OBL” moment and those don’t exist anymore

"This State of the Union could have been an email"

these are hilarious

Why do people think Murphy is a 2028 candidate? He's good at Online Discourse but that's kind of all he brings to the table?

(sometimes I am wondering, thank you to the people who share ridiculous tidbits from over there)

Solid advice for getting tenure #academicsky

It's the week 7, why do I have "end of the semester" levels of exhaustion

"Plus, there's perfectly edible meat just lying by the side of the road if you know to look for it"

Other than like 10 verses torn free from their context, the christian right has only ever responded to scripture with anger and asterisks

Yes. I am 100% confident I could do this.
