If you want to know whether Biden understands that the rot in today's Republican Party is a threat to democracy, and whether he's going to take action to stop it, just ask him. He's nothing if not consistent. https://t.co/cuO3pJLWxy
Joe Biden, 2019: It would be bad for America if voters abandoned the GOP and became Democrats in the wake of Trump.
Joe Biden, 1973: The same, but for Watergate. https://t.co/R58FUlngNJ

I don’t usually buy things on Black Friday BUT two leftist book sellers (Verso Books and Haymarket Books) are having 50% off sales and Palgrave MacMillan is selling all it’s super expensive $100+ academic theory texts for $9.99. So I guess I’m blowing my 2020 book budget today?
With #Frozen2, Disney has inspired a new animated dimorphism measure: The eyeball-neck gender ratio disparity (or, the ENGenderRD). Our team is still working, but early results show Elsa approaching a record-breaking score of >1, while reindeer dude is well below .5
