No. This can't be. He was the most generous PUBLIC scholar. I cold emailed him & he replied so graciously... This fuckin' sucks. I know I'm supposed to say rest in peace or 🤷🏻‍♀️ but...The world lost someone who seemed to just want to help folks understand things better. So this f'n sucks is what I got

I used to offer to make the cake for any friend's birthday. One of my husband's colleagues said he didn't really want cake but he loved my stuffed mushrooms. So he got birthday stuffed mushrooms. Birthday person gets what they want. Simple as that 🎂🍄

If one side says it's raining and the other says it's not, it's not your job to report the disagreement. It's your job to stick your head out the f****** window and figure out whether or not it's raining 🤯 #whataboutism #falseequivalency #WTFhappenedtotheFourthEstate

Oh fuck no!

The older I get, the more I understand why Luke just needed his dark day. Like... Just leave me alone people, k? I just can't deal with y'all today. Note: Spanish has a word that I wish existed in English. Engentado/a. Loose transition is over peopled. Yup. When you just can't "people" anymore 🤯

This paragraph should be REQUIRED reading in military education 🤣 @amnagel.bsky.social #PME

TIL of the overlap between the CIA and Ted Lasso 🤯

Um... Some of us appreciate both equally important aspects of May Day

Happy 4th #gotchaday to our goofball 65-lb lapdog who aggressively gives kisses, is afraid of everything including at times his own shadow, and needs to be solar charged at least an hour a day #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #sunbathing

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet Nothing makes this dog happier than goose poop 🤦🏻‍♀️

Your regular reminder that armed paramilitaries operating otherwise normal government functions bodes poorly for things to come #normalizingfascism

Felt like I held my breath the whole time today watching the #Artemis launch. #challenger effect I guess. And in 10 days I guess I will be dealing with the #Columbia effect and holding my breath again #godspeed #tothemoon 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Decentralized elections (run by provinces and municipalities) are actually WAY more secure and truthful than centralized (regime-run) elections

Her lord and savior who pretty famously celebrated Passover at the last supper. I'm certain -- certain, I say -- that the White House will reverently note that on Wednesday evening.

Hey! I made two of those :) #nokings

We have casually crossed yet another line of normalizing the paramilitaries in yet another aspect of our daily lives. Next will be at polling places on Election Day.

Why do they care so much about who consenting adults are sleeping with? I care who I'm sleeping with. I care who I'm sleeping with is sleeping with. I cared in the past about who I wanted to be sleeping with was sleeping with. Who I used to sleep with was sleeping with even. But that was like it 🤔

Once again. For the folks in the back. In the nosebleed seats even. The Handmaid's Tale was not supposed to be an inspiration. It was supposed to be a cautionary tale bruh #GOPwaronwomen #waronwomen

Serious contender for headline of the year. Also absolutely 🦇💩 bonkers enough to merit being headline of the year in 2026

Happy national #puppyday 🐶 I never got to see either of these mutts as puppies, but that doesn't make me love the goobers any less (@naridoggy on IG) #adoptdontshop #dogs

Any other week, that shirt would be satire. Apparently not this week 🤯 #airlinechaos #tsa #dhsshutdown

So apparently 6 years ago today, when we were living in PA, all non-essential businesses were closed by order of the governor. But that can't be true... That was like... Definitely NOT 6 years ago, right? #pandemic #timehasnomeaninganymore

Calling for a "patriotic press" isn't new, but it is dangerous. During Vietnam, an admiral asked an AP reporter, "why don't you get on the team?" As Philip Seib put it, "the simple answer is that the job that presses to report the game, not join the team."

Happy Buffy Day to all who celebrate "If the apocalypse comes, beep me." Sidenote: I honestly do miss the mix (balance?) of politics, breaking news, academia, sports, and pop culture that used to exist on good Twitter that I haven't yet found here (emphasis on yet, I hope)

You can't impose values. If you try to, all you do is create an insurgency. The data is clear.* Doesn't matter if it's domestic or foreign. All you do is create an insurgency. And that is never good! Creating a generation of angry children has literally never worked out for anyone

They're going after Dunkin & Starbucks. Do you realize how many perimenopausal Xennials you will piss off? Like...We grew up feral analog but speak fluent digital & need our SF vanilla chai lattes. Oh! We also saw ya bros take away bodily autonomy from our nieces. Come at me bro. You will lose badly

Can confirm. My Army brat who speaks Southern self stopped a college boyfriend so hard in his tracks that he gave up on the fight and just leaned into laughin' at me when the drawl came out. Note. Dude didn't know that the plural of y'all was all y'all. Damn Yankee*

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

My best friend came home with us 10 years ago today 😍 Happy #GotchaDay Nari 🐕 #adoptdontshop #Adoptaversary

Finally! The Andor team is free to talk about how the show speaks to fascism in the US in 2026 www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

The world is both literally and figuratively on fire. So here's some good news to make you smile 🐕🏅 Special thanks to Omega for the photo finish cam

1999 me would never believe that saying "I'm against concentration camps" and "maybe AI shouldn't kill folks" and "cops should have to give their badge numbers to the public" would be apparently VERY controversial & purportedly extreme ideas according to a super feckin' weird subset of the populace

Word(?) I didn't need to know existed: Incel-ebrity 🤦‍♀️

Been awhile since I looked at the literature. But as I remember going against clergy so openly is pretty advanced authoritarianism 😨

I cannot over-emphasize how important it will be for people to make a plan to vote early in-person this year.

Wanted to write my dissertation about the many quiet and very subversive ways populations protest against autocracies #votoblanco #nisselue #greenmovement #quietprotest

The world is on fire. So here's a 14.5 yr old rescue dog enjoying the snow #adoptdontshop

An idea I've only recently realized needed to be EXPLICITLY stated in talks about the dangers of information manipulation in politics: never get high on your own supply #disinformation #misinformation #propaganda

JFC 🤯 it's like they're gamifying or all-in-one-ing fascism #palantir #ice

Honest to goodness, watched #Andor because Diego Luna is the top of my free five. Didn't expect the tyranny speech and the Senate speech to be playing over in my head basically daily at this point #WelcomeToTheRebellion

@cnn.com if you're going to have a so-called expert on -- talking about Iran -- make sure they know what actual soft power and actual hard power are. Whoever was just talking (dude 737 am) understands kinetic but completely mischaracterized soft power

once again we are all tapping the sign

Let's hope the Streisand Effect's track record remains undefeated
