Talking music tomorrow in intercultural comm/dialogue. Will probably play Brother Ali records all class.

There are even more pages in the Epstein Files than anti-trans legislative proposals. That's perspective.

Now that we're at the outset of Gulf War 3, they're realizing that the gov't probably needs the VOA, after all. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/u...

Once again, when I talk of reliving my youth, a war in the Middle East without an endgame is -not- what I meant.

Oh, I don’t think making light of destroying fishing boats is a good thing.

Yes I do think it is a problem that the president of my country gets the most animated when he describes the murders of children.

Is this the first Sir Story of the night? 7:24 pst

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

They wouldn't call it "bait" if were weren't supposed to take it and if it weren't delicious. I hate everything about this: www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...

What a game! Congratulations to our NFLPA union members on the Seahawks on winning the #SuperBowl!

Why yes, I will take the bait presented by the Redfin-Rocket Mortgage Super Bowl commercial and talk about it in class tomorrow. Thank you.

Will Lewis has a bright future in higher ed administration with tactics like these.

My PR writing students no longer care about why there are two different spellings of lead/lede.

Because it's always a sign of virtuous behavior when the reporters are arrested.

Professionals who use emoticons to reply to their colleagues's emails should get paper cuts.

Good news: My students already forgot about Tilly Norwood. Bad news: I had to cut 8 minutes of my lecture this morning on the fly because they had no outrage for me to feed off of.

#YikersIsland The West Wing Edition: S3E1, Josh is whining to CJ, then CJ drops these two lines in succession: "The FDA is an independent agency" followed by "I can't computer generate images of the first lady."

The only thing they hate more than veterans is nurses who work at the VA.

Losing his edge. Took over 30 minutes to get to a Sir story.

He just said he’s 100% Scottish and 100% German. What does that make him?

Am I going #LunarOwls or #Vinyl this season of @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social ? #Unrivaled

This whole thing would have gone over better if the VOA were still around.

Huh. Well now we have an answer for when our kids ask us, “what was it like growing up in the 80s?”

Transgender for everyone and to all a good night!

“Their lives were spent, successfully, repelling information.” Gore Vidal, Kalki.

Northwestern’s decision is a great victory for UIC and DePaul.

"Did BlueSky add group chat yet?" is my "Did the president call?"

Did @nytpitchbot.bsky.social make the "Larry Summers to join the Institute of Politics" joke yet?

Personally I think advertising ChatGPT to stressed college students is much worse than advertising cereals to children.

Early Valentine’s Day lines for our modern age: The microplastics of your love / leech into my heart

What’s their end game? I know the nameless grunts have no idea why they do what they do, but someone needs real accountability. #SouthAsianHate Indian IDOT employee stopped by ICE agents, questioned if he was 'aware' of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Just realized some of the clothes I teach in are older than some of my students.

The party of small, minimally intrusive government. Supreme Court allows Trump to enforce passport restrictions targeting transgender people www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Reading about Dick Cheney in @thenation.com brings back memories of my youth.

We literally fought a war to ensure that British people don't matter in our politics. The Times of London story about De Blasio and DeBlasio is evidence that that was a good thing.

Still won’t add group chat functionality but spent time on a slightly different app icon. @bsky.app still losing to X.

Are they going to deport the Italian immigrant mobsters who designed and carried out those illegal gambling crimes?

I am not a business genius, so please explain to me how you mess up making money with Warner Bros.

As a person who grew up in the Seattle metro, it is really difficult to give Portland credit for anything.

A'ja and Angel both working the #Unapologetic angle?

Well gosh. I was just about to do a Harassment but thanks to this mandatory PowerPoint I’ve seen the error of my ways.

"Did BlueSky add group chat yet?" is my "Did the president call?"

BREAKING: Corporate media may not see themselves as guardians of free speech.

So how long until they tell Comcast and AT&T to turn off the internet?

Absolutely abhorrent for Penn State, a land-grant university, to abandon public media. I am ashamed. WPSU is central PA's only NPR-member radio station and has been on the air for 73 years. It serves 13 counties. This is a disservice to rural Pennsylvanians.

The Free Press potentially being folded into CBS news is giving me memories of the 2006/2007 Blogosophere (never let the term die) where all major the independent voices sold out to Salon and Slate.

1. Angel Reese is 23. 2. Angel Reese is getting on-the-job media training. 3. Angel Reese is right.

Imagine being the president of the United States and casually and seriously threatening citizens of the United States on the weekend through pictures and jokes on social media. Petty and undignified embarrassment.
