I regularly have anxiety dreams where I have to speak or perform in a very high-profile, high-stakes forum but I don't have anything prepared and I end up spouting inappropriate, highly emotional nonsense. I don't recall my subconscious ever producing anything this deranged.

This is like sovereign citizen level legal analysis

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

I’m 41. In my life, every single professed value of the right has turned out to be a bad faith lie they said to amass power: small government? ICE raids & book bans. Free market? Kleptocracy & mercantilist tariffs. Free speech? Arresting protesters and firing professors. It was always a lie.

So I'm grumpy that we seem to be once again creating a dynamic in our party where the people who got to the right answer sooner are marginalized for doing so, while people who were wrong get credit for changing their minds once it became obvious they were wrong. (See also NAFTA, Iraq War, Gaza.)

The lighting in the bathroom at my office is a crime against humanity.

José Armando Torres Rivera was convicted of participating in a gang rape and other crimes in 1991 in Carolina, Puerto Rico. He was #exonerated in 2020 after DNA analysis excluded him from biological evidence recovered from the survivor's clothing. More: exonerationregistry.org/cases/14524

A national corporation changing its branding is actually a secret message to me mocking my values stop laughing I am not “crazy”

You guys think this is what scared Charlie Kirk so much?

Hi, I'm a professor in a film. People from my past about whom I have complicated feelings like to stroll in and take a seat in the back of my classroom just as I'm dismissing the class and shouting a reminder to "please read the Supreme Court's case on page 112 in your book."

I heard him tell this story at an ALI event and cringed so hard I pulled a muscle. If a novelist had a character tell this story to demonstrate just how out of touch he was, I'd blame the editor for letting such a two-dimensional, on-the-nose attempt at character development slip through.

This depiction of professors reminds me of those videos they make you watch in high school about teens doing peer pressure on some poor kid to smoke drugs and be cool and the dialogue sounds like it was written by a 40-year-old and the actors all look like they're 28.

All these years...I've been doing it wrong. 😔

when you get to be a middle aged academic you spend a lot more time being like "ok i have to write at that time of day because that's when my brain works" and "i'll respond to emails in the afternoon because that's when i drool on my self."

goose: where'd he get the canister? goose: where'd he get the canister, motherfucker?

Oh just shut up, Colin Robinson.

Awww. Maybe we were wrong calling him a reactionary sex pest. Maybe he's just a well-meaning, helpful sex pest.

if andrew cuomo hates socialism so much why did he choose to be publicly owned

You were not supposed to read the books for sale at the bookstore and would get scolded like a thief if they caught you

[goose meme] What 'physical appearance'? WHAT PHYSICAL APPEARANCE?

This is my absolute favorite ITYSL skit. It's just perfect.

INDIANA JONES AND BYLAWS REVISIONS

INDIANA JONES AND MORE OF A COMMENT THAN A QUESTION

Voter: So what's the problem? John Fund:

The news was making me sad. But then I saw this and it gave me a chance to do something nice and feel a little bit better for a little while anyway.

Obviously, this break-up was inevitable, but I'm a little disappointed we didn't get a lavish vow renewal ceremony before it all came crashing down.

if good things cannot happen, bad people doing bad things to each other will have to suffice

Spending my week at a causal inference workshop and it's a refreshing reminder that I'm a big dummy.

my vet, who's hard of hearing: can you repeat your cat's name me:

Pizzaballa can still win if Mike Pence has the courage.

if you blame me for the crimes of my ancestors you are a pathetic anti-white lib. i would, however, like credit for the good stuff they built.

A friend noted how much Kevin Hassett looks and acts like Colin Robinson from WWDITS and I can't unsee it.

It’s like watching a clown run through a minefield.

If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

Whether it's liberal students booing Charles Murray or conservative presidents sending innocent fathers to die in El Salvadoran torture prisons, there's been plenty of incivility on both sides of the political spectrum.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

What did we do to end up in this timeline? people.com/babysitter-c...

it's been years upon years of labored "campus culture" op-eds from salaried writers hectoring students about free speech, and now the state is kidnapping students for their speech in broad daylight
