it's already starting . . . these Never X* types who say they oppose fascism must be shut down immediately and absolutely
* it's "Never Newsom" now, but the object of their righteous fury will change over time

Hasan Piker says he'll vote for a third party candidate if the Democratic nominee is Gavin Newsom. Reminder that Piker is not a Democrat, but a millionaire who makes money by fomenting political discord. newsweek.com/hasan-piker-de…

@blforinash @Darinstrauss I'm sure Eugenides is a nice guy and all, but sheesh this is a bad take
English
@ProfMattBell @Darinstrauss I mean, that's a creative way of saying he's irrelevant. Jeffrey Eugenides is the most contemporary author I can think of who is highly influenced by Henry James.
English
It's kind of surreal that people who supposedly like books are more likely to aggressively defend rereading Henry James than, you know, reading contemporary literature. Didn't know rereading Henry James was somehow the hill people will die on.
English
@Darinstrauss @blforinash the problem with reading James: afterward, everything pales in comparison. I haven't read a novel published in the last 50 years that compares
English
@blforinash It's not a binary. We do need to read contemporary stuff. Still, to dismiss not just James, but w/him Kafka, Joyce et al is to put oneself at huge disadvantage. It's like any other art. Even, say, rock guitar: "I don't know Hendrix, Beck,Page, Berry, VH..." you'd be missing lots

@ATPChallenger @Liambroady @the_LTA The crushed fh down the line is a great sign for LB. Good guy, fun game to watch. Hope he keeps winning.

@ddiamond @juliettekayyem @ShawnMcCreesh These same people would not be upset or sympathetic if the images were of, say, Paul Pelosi. I’m just not buying the humanizing thrust of this piece.
English
The NYT’s @ShawnMcCreesh, who has a knack for finding a path into the biggest stories, says he went to South Dakota yesterday, hoping to convince Kristi Noem’s husband to talk.
Then today’s Daily Mail photos happened.
Another classic McCreesh piece.

@archivedilfs This doesn’t remind me of any other pics circulating on Twitter today. Nope. Not one.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'
English
@BenjaminPDixon @selfstyledsiren Sounds like you’re laying the groundwork to performatively refuse to vote for the D presidential candidate in 2028 🤷♂️
English
It says a lot that the most coordinated online political action we've seen from Democrats since Donald Trump's re-election has been to go after Hasan Piker and his left-leaning media,
But not to go after a single policy of Trumps.
Really, ask yourself: when have you seen Dems be this coordinated?
English
*The term "sabbatical" is often misused. A sabbatical requires a proposal to conduct new research, the fulfillment of that proposal, and a report after the sabbatical leave has ended. Leaving your job after amassing enough money to be unemployed for a year is not a sabbatical.

A professor's life is a cakewalk, obviously. All you have to do to have that life is go through 5 years of graduate school, pass oral comprehensive exams, write a book-length work of original scholarship to earn a Ph.D.,

In America you can become a professor by offering these middle schooler who just smoked a blunt for the first time insights

@tomcolicchio I feel like there was that one time you were on TV?

@rickzeiser @iShowTunes @BettyBuckley @OfficialALW same . . . saw it by myself in the front row with a last-minute ticket purchase (cancellation line, November 1995), and loved it so much I brought a couple of friends to see it a second time. transcendent

@iShowTunes @BettyBuckley @OfficialALW Seeing Betty in Sunset Blvd. Was one of the best moments I have ever experienced on Broadway…..ever!!!!

An attempt by @mschlapp to hype up the CPAC crowd goes horribly wrong —
"How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?"
[cheers]
"That was the wrong answer..."

Seen here: Lindsey Graham has reopened the Strait of Hormuz with a tap number called Strait to Broadway!

@jon_wertheim @Martina Martina, to my disappointment and her discredit, has over time veered from an arguably principled stance to gratuitous, mean-spirited, transphobic public statements. Trans women are the most vulnerable people, and Martina has failed to distinguish herself from their oppressors.
English
Agree or disagree, Coventry’s statement - literally word-for-word - echoes
what @Martina has been saying for a decade or so….

A giant leap forward for women’s sport. They’ve done the right thing with a strong, clear policy. No equivocation, no tap-dancing, no pretence of “balancing priorities.” Plus, a means to test for eligibility. Those responsible (this time) deserve real congratulations. More later
