Free Speech and the marketplace of ideas has a significant Gresham's Law problem.

Just a note that @ForBeginners has not paid my royalty checks in years. I did get two letters that said they contained royalty checks, but did not. I have not been able to contact them to resolve this. Any fellow For Beginners authors on here?

@michaelharriot Whatever you might say of Hamas's larger intentions, you could not say they are carrying out a genocide.

@MatthewJFranck Rock the Cat's Bar, rock the Cat's Bar.

@DisabilityStor1 @dorothyk98 Any faculty that supports literacy has to explain the other side?

@nominalthoughts Um, if there are 100 cats in a van with Haitians, my money is on the cats. They aren't going quietly, I can't imagine 100 cats in a van, but you could not pay me to get into said van.

@speechboy71 Have been wondering the same myself.
Pennsylvania is a big state, much of it rural.

@lastpositivist But was it love, actually?

@nytimes Maggie looks like she's been crying here, streaks down her face. I think it's just the lack of makeup. I'm anti-makeup generally but clearly on camera it's needed.

@Srirachachau The one with the best politics was assassinated while running for president. Do people not know that?

[Lydia Fillingham @FillinghamLydia]

@lastpositivist She has to prove she's competent, ffs.

@AMAZlNGNATURE I'm not 100% sure that the cow can get out of there. The side where the other cows are is clearly too steep.

@lastpositivist How about the derivation of patriarchal power (family and political) from sons pissing on fire and thus symbolically killing their fathers.

@RosenthalHealth @TheAtlantic @KFFHealthNews To me pain is an impediment to function. What can't I do because of pain. Sometimes it's anything. Sometimes it's eat what I want to. But that doesn't mean give me a million forms with functions listed and one to ten how able I am to do them. It means talk to me.

@dieworkwear I will say, as a fat person, I could definitely use this feature. I do in fact have jackets that fit as long as I don't move my arms forward.

@economeager Do Shakespeare tragedies, that way we get used to seeing them die.
But really the very Muppet solution is, they die, and then get back up to explain that the character died, Kermit didn't.
Which, doesn't that happen with the players in Hamlet or maybe Bottom et al in MSND?

[Lydia Fillingham @FillinghamLydia]

@silentpenitent @segfaultvicta Yes I agree with you. I said this was the wrong way to go about it. I should have been more specific.

[Lydia Fillingham @FillinghamLydia]

@machineiv @MattLavPoems This is a Chinese (Hong Kong) charge.

[Lydia Fillingham @FillinghamLydia]

@silentpenitent @segfaultvicta I agree that courses on Palestinians, and thinking about incorporating Palestinian views into other courses, if they're not there already. But this is NOT the way to do it.
The demand at the end about the Board of Governors means this is going nowhere, except maybe the trash.

@philosophybites I had a box of detergent and sweater.

@lrozen Sullivan saying more than once "terrorists coming up from the rubble," translates to Israel is creating the terrorists. There are many reasons Isreal can't get rid of Hamas, but a real one is they're creating more Hamas members. And that's the only goal Isreal has articulated.
