We stopped teaching students that intellectual curiousity is the most exciting and important part of college, stopped asking them to not just do the reading but seek extra books, music, films, shows, plays, art for context, stopped demanding not just looking for rubrics to check boxes but seek more.

Hail to the Thief isn’t the best Radiohead album, but apropos of nothing, it’s a very good Radiohead album.

Raise your hand if you're really upset about the journalists being unlawfully and roughly detained footage.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over “Spanish (Traditional Sort)” as one of MS Word’s language options. Like “Garyd vos, ay yermanelas com’ contener a meu mali.” Like…. That?

I know zero about payroll but whenever I see graphs like this I immediately assume this is glucose and think like hey man get some sugar or hey man hit that with a bolus or like GET THE GLUCAGON or whatever.

When I was an epileptic child, my parents would worry so much every time I got a virus or cold—because every time my body temperature spiked beyond a point; I could have a seizure.
Have you ever seen a child have a seizure? Do you know how scary it is for them to have a seizure?

SO sorry about the treatment your specialists and engineers received at the hands of our secret police goon squad. That's normally something we reserve for a different race of people who we like even less, hope you understand. Please come back

Is it unreasonable to assume that this assassination will be used as a pretext for military interventions on college campuses? (And to be clear: murder is bad).

The deeper I get into the Womanly Arts, AKA sewing and knitting, the more I realize that misogyny has been a long con in every way. Both disciplines involve tons of math, precision work, mechanical parts, and gear. All things women are told they cannot do, yet have invisibly done for centuries 🤡

Ah yes, the famously wonderful outcomes of the —checks notes— Vietnam War.
This is insane. This is a real social media post in which the president of the United States declares war on a great American city.
Get active now, while you can. Help us rescue our country from a fascist dictatorship.
