This place has gotten exponentially more toxic and more crazy recently. I’ve been on Twitter since 2009 but will be joining the X-odus to Threads. See you there where I’m JRinKingston

Is this a malaprop for “fits and starts”or is it another common expression?I’ve never heard of “spits and starts”. From today’s @nytimes

Congratulations, Michael!

Where things stand: 1. Top Dems who believed even a week ago Biden would stay now believe he’ll go. 2. House and Senate Dems have lost faith in his ability to win and there’s no way to win them back. His calls and interviews have hurt him badly. Confirmed debate wasn't a one-off. 3. Donors are also gone. Biden may well not have the money to run a real campaign against Trump if he stays in. Money will go downballot. 4. Biden is thinking things over in a way he wasn’t before and the view is he needs time to process and consider. 5. If Biden digs in after the weekend, public pressure from Dems will increase. Ugly in a way no one wants. But a lot of grim determination. Also a growing sense that if Biden stays in, this will come to be seen as the kind of political catastrophe you don't want to later be seen as silent in. 6. The moment Biden bows out, he will be treated as a hero among Democrats — a statesman who made the kind of country and party-first decision that Trump never would. People get that this is hard. He's being asked to do something very few leaders do. 7. Uniting around Kamala Harris feels a lot likelier than an open convention, much as I’ve supported the latter. This is grueling enough. Few Democrats have the stomach for another hard thing. And time is very short now. 8. Many thought RNC would help Biden by changing the subject. Instead, seeing a united Republican Party has focused Dems. They've realized they can't rely on Trump just to lose this. 9. Democratic Party is acting like an…actual party? Quite a thing to watch.

@irgarner Nicely written and congrats on the new position!

I explain for the Globe & Mail why Russia can claim to be saving children by killing them. The short version? It’s cultural genocide. And it won’t stop. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

@MKBHD @The_EVGuy It’s skeuomorphism.

@The_EVGuy Just because you don't want it doesn't mean there aren't people who will 😅

Someday this car will have a chapter in history books. It's FULLY electric, but has a mode that fully imitates a gas car: - Adds engine sound - Simulates the Elantra N transmission - Paddle shifts through gears - Briefly clips power to FEEL "gear shifts" - Can "redline" - Literally goes slower because of all of this - Is fun as hell anyway Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=Cae2ha…

I swear when airplane mode is finally turned off after a long flight, my phone feels like me when I take a breath after swimming under water. Instead of gasping for air, it’s an exhale of messages and notifications it’s been struggling to hold on to.

@EricMerkley Congrats! Can’t wait to read it.

After almost five years, that's a wrap! 🎉🥳

🥂Congratulations @yolandebouka of @QueensuPOLS (& team!) on receiving this significant multi-year research grant from 🇨🇦 @NationalDefence to fund the work of the Women, Peace & Security research network! 👏🏽👏🏽

🥂 Congratulations to @QueensuPOLS Prof Colin Farrelly on his forthcoming book 📚 from @HackettPub, "Classics of Political Thought for Today", dedicated to the 3000+ students who have taken POLS 250 & 350 with Farrelly over the past 15 years @queensu! hackettpublishing.com/new-forthcomin…

@timabray Always a treat to have an engaging, bright student who asks big questions. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. Looking forward to the next chapter …. literally 😉

It’s been a .long time coming. But it was so great to celebrate graduation today with colleagues, some former students, and my long suffering supervisor, @JonathanRose. It’s been a trip.

Le congrès annuel de l’Association canadienne de science politique commence avec une excellente présentation de Keith Banting sans PowerPoint. !

@loleen_berdahl What’s not to love, except sometimes I do without the tone!

@AlexJMarland @AcadiaU I think I have a new nickname for you Alex!

"A useful person to ask about this sort of thing is Alex Marland. He’s the Jarislowsky Chair in Trust and Political Leadership @AcadiaU, and basically the Jane Goodall of explaining politicians." 👨‍🏫😇😄

Such a well deserved honour. You continue to make @QueensuPOLS a better place. Congratulations, @svhlatky!

I am not unhappy that the Sunday @nytimes devoted so much space and attention to the winner of the Scripps spelling bee
