Whoever wins today, we're gonna have to fight hard against the rise of fascism. In the street that's one kind of battle, but in the home it's different. That's why I wrote this book, How to Talk to Your Son about Fascism, coming out next spring.

@Forbes please stop softball pitching fascist politicians

Are any Democrats looking into how to possibly stop shoveling mountains of public cash at MAGA billionaire Elon Musk thru government contracts and subsidies

53% of people in Argentina are now suffering in poverty, under libertarian President Javier Milei.

Annual inflation is c 240%. 136,000 jobs have been lost.

Just 40% of Argentines have a positive view of Milei.

This is actually existing libertarianism.

publishing a headline about "tradwives" without mentioning misogyny isn't just bad journalism -- it's right-wing propaganda

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

“Traditional” housewives, or #tradwives, have been going viral. The trend belongs to a long history of idealising domesticity https://t.co/nSQEQuSPUp 👇

@molochofficial sounds like you only talk to modernists

Duke in the 2000s was full of profs who’d make undergrads apply for the honor to take their seminars (then reject most). When I was a senior I went to Fredric Jameson’s office hours and asked to take his grad seminar (Theories of Temporality). He was like yea, of course, why not?

“In my opinion, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss…”

One of the most powerful nationalist leaders in the world threatening to blame Jews if he loses the election.

But hey- campuses! Look over there instead!

haven't heard enough about how Twitter's AI bot is called "grok" -- a sci-fi word that means "to consume/encompass/take hold of/become in its entirety"

the name *literally* references the human-made content it steals to generate what it spits out

This is crazy. Biden lost non-college educated voters by 4 percent, which was a big sign of class dealignment. Now Harris is set to lose them by 17 percent.

She might win in 2024 with an anti-Trump professional base but what’s going to happen in 2028 and 2032?
