@RandalHendrick9 These are, to tell you the truth, pre-owned.

@marksjo1 Big ones or small ones?

Souls: going cheap!

I, too. just spoke to President Trump for thirty seconds. He said, "tell everyone that I am great and that my enemies are bad." I'm on it. I break news.

Extremist settlers attacked Palestinians in some 20 locations across the West Bank on Saturday night, a security source told The Times of Israel, with assailants torching homes, vehicles and other property. Earlier on Saturday, Yehuda Sherman, an 18-year-old settler, was killed when a Palestinian-owned pickup truck hit the ATV he and his brother were traveling in close to the illegal settlement outpost where they lived. No casualties were immediately reported from the fires, but the Palestinian Red Crescent said three people were injured in beatings by settlers in the village of Jalud, and six others were injured in beatings in villages in the Jenin area. A statement from the IDF spokesperson said reports were received of “Israeli citizens who burned buildings and property, and disturbed the peace in the area.” The statement said troops were working to restore order, and added that Israel’s security forces “condemn violence of any kind and will continue working to protect residents’ security and order in the area.” There were, however, no reports of arrests, which are highly rare in instances of settler violence. Attacks by extremist settlers have been taking place on a near-daily basis in recent weeks. Continue reading on The Times of Israel: timesofisrael.com/dozens-of-extr…

Trump's response to confronting the reality of his failing presidency is to stoke civil war.

Few months ago blusky philosophers discovered that @craigwarmke and I are the sons of feminist philosopher Georgia Warnke, so I'm lying when I talk about not knowing any academics growing up. Which would be an amazing discovery if we shared her last name or were related to her.

@RandalHendrick9 If you want people to hear what you're saying during these meetings, stop making your truffle fried wontons so crisp and otherwise distracting.

@marksjo1 Come on, man. You can’t do my things. This is what I meant at Men’s Loneliness Club by “developing a social style and shield-self to hide the hurt.” You can’t copy me, though.

Have started addressing my intellectual and moral betters as “dude” and sometimes “buddy.” Pretty sure this is making me look good.

In fairness, this is wholly new. If there had been any previous hints that Trump was a person of uncommonly, consistently poor character, perhaps Sohrab Ahmari would have provisionally turned even earlier.

This is unprofessional. In my department, we accidentally add Jeffrey Goldberg to our Signal chat and wait

@RandalHendrick9 If I didn’t save the humanities, why did they sing “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow”? Which part of “Which Nobody Can Deny” do you need spelled out for you? You’re just jealous because $15 buys a lot at Cracker Barrel.

This is so sad. I convinced his colleagues to give him a fake little “you saved the humanities” award. They gave him a $15 Cracker Barrel gift card that I furnished. I told them that would convince him of the ceremony’s legitimacy. I was right.

Things would be much worse if I hadn’t saved the humanities singlehandedly last October.

@RandalHendrick9 The Yazuka thing could have been his XLP, which stands for “experiential learning project.” We partner with many high prestige employers. Did he just skip the advising meetings?

My son’s recent trajectory. Go to college, take course on Plato and Machiavelli and such from @marksjo1, leave college to join Philly Yakuza and be marked by them.

If I commit wire fraud, it will be via telegraph, which is the old school and best way.

Really? But Trump seemed so nice at dinner!

I’ve been posted outside a local Cracker Barrel for 3 days b/c I fear they will use the war distraction to go woke. Saw a man who looked like Soros walk in. Investigated. Was a Trump voter named Phil. I have not been sleeping. Vigilance is the price of freedom.

She crowed yesterday that Trump had gotten the Europeans in line, but she forgot to coordinate with the boss's messaging; so, adjustments. This flexibility in transmitting the messages of a Dear Leader is a mark of good journalism.
