I am very much on team Humanities are Good.

I would simply use a swarm of agentic AIs to restore legitimacy to our democracy

Harvard is embarking on a new and exciting experiment to determine whether one truly needs to have a university that does university things in order to maintain an endowment the size of a small nation’s GDP.

I’m not falling for that

One of the deep ironies about claims that we should support Israel as the region's only democracy is that both Israel and the U.S. have been instrumental in propping up despotic regimes, and helping to crush democratic movements, in Jordan and elsewhere in the Middle East.

i was thinking earlier today about why transphobia is so deranging. I missed that it is also much more *mediated by the online environment* than other forms of bigotry. because trans people are such a tiny portion of the population, anti-trans people really only encounter them as twitter combatants.

folks online aren't *debating* abolition, they are making statements based on their feelings.

My heart goes out to everyone who tried to take the Washington bar exam. You spend years in law school, months preparing, thousands of dollars on courses, and countless hours putting your life on hold for a single exam. No matter how this ultimately gets resolved, these examinees deserved better.

I dropped just that photo in chat this morning and woo, boy.

‘Socialism is when government’ - no it’s not.

Hold on now. Let's not blame the factory when deregulation is clearly the problem.

I would simply not listen to someone who opposes my cause about how to advance it.

People hyperventilating over the idea of abolishing prisons while Trump is trying to build camps everywhere.

dems: ICE is bad, cops are good! cops will protect us from ICE. cops: Seattle Police Officers Guild President Mike Solan said of Wilson’s plan that “The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen.”

I see what Westerners are trying to invoke when they compare Trump to third world leaders but surely there's something in their canon for that purpose. It gives me the ick (racism).

My core group of friends and I have started a last Friday of the month happy hour. The only thing that changes is location so it's more convenient for a variety of people. We have a standing invite list of all of our friends who we don't get to see enough or would like to introduce to each other.

They could at least Both Sides it!
