It casts a certain light on the Koch money also going to civics initiatives and what that project is all about

Social constructs are just something big academia invented to sell more social constructs

The carelessness has to be loud I think, plus nobody expects any accountability, plus maybe they fired anyone with the subject matter expertise to see the problem even if they gave a shit

People’s behavior is starting to have this sheen of unreality, like is this a person? Did a person really write this? No way to know

I think you can, but I use TurboScan to scan (just out of habit!) and put all the pages of a document or all the pages from a folder into one multipage pdf, and then from within the app I can save directly to Dropbox where I create a folder directory as I go. It is pretty fast.

I save each document as a pdf and as I save to Dropbox place it in a folder that I create within a box that I number so that when I go back to look at stuff it exists within a directory that mirrors the archive. I sometimes put box and folder number in the file name.

My husband has joked that he should decorate his office to look like Mr Belding’s principal’s office at Bayside from saved by the bell, which is not nearly as nice but also I would really love it

Ghost writer and Doogie Howser tricked us into thinking computers were cool but they aren’t

"Who the hell cares if I'm a racist if the facts in the book are right?" he said and enough people nodded along, as though racism was a bad personality trait or tone and not a system of knowledge and power

Don’t forget sexy nongendered island

The myth that mass deportations target those deserving while preserving immigrant labor and allowing the “good people” to stay is load-bearing for support of a project that sweeps away neighbors and destroys rights

I’ve been rereading coverage of Peter Brimelow from 1995 and it is shockingly racist (and he was pulling from the same camp of the saints playbook)—and he too frequently got a pass, which tells us something about the invisibility of antiblackness to largely white institutions

Notably nice here too! A sense of peace

I’m not a lawyer but I wouldn’t be so sure
