If you don’t have to stop and google a word/name/place/event every once in a while, you’re reading below your level.

@RTMannJr If Trump can’t block a private citizen on Twitter, then LSP surely can’t block a member of the press. It is, what Justice Kennedy called, “the modern public square.”

Dear rest of the world,
When all of this is over, please remember that Louisiana is not just New Orleans.

“This will be one of the strongest hurricanes to hit anywhere in Louisiana since at least the 1850s,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said as Hurricane Ida targets the state. https://t.co/BsIiL89Kak

@RTMannJr I bet he’s fun at parties.

50 years ago today, Nixon declared a war on drugs, calling drug abuse "public enemy No. 1" in a speech at the White House. "In order to fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new all-out offensive," he said.

Reading South of Broad by Pat Conroy is the only acceptable way to celebrate Bloomsday.

@FinesandFeesJC @GovSisolak @witchywomanlv @MonicaAult While it’s true that Louisiana doesn’t categorize traffic tickets as misdemeanors, unpaid tickets absolutely do result in bench warrants for the arrest of the driver.

I love how Loki incorporates the real world, like when the Gulf Coast is destroyed in 2050.

@ChristiansonLab @PennChemistry So, would you say you’re looking for graduates to assist you? Like a graduate assistant?

@1090_ZEBRA @fretlessfever @MaryM49 @MuellerSheWrote @steve_vladeck Where? I’ve read the whole thing and can’t find it.

@ass_deans Don’t tempt me. If I knew someone would box my stuff up for me…. that changes the calculation.

[Lindsay Ellis @lindsayaellis]

A thread: I can’t stop thinking about Nikole Hannah-Jones’s tenure denial. It appears to show the natural endpoint of politicized college governance at public universities, a topic @jackstripling @danbauman77 and I dug into for @chronicle here: https://t.co/9QZeqE0kfv

If you’re watching the flooding that’s happening in Louisiana, a reminder that disaster porn is bad, actually, and the Gulf Coast should not be treated as a sacrificial climate buffer zone.

[Someone robs you at gunpoint]

@chronicle: “What’s the state of property law if someone can just take your purse on a Tuesday afternoon?

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

What's the state of tenure if a full professor can, without any hearing or warning, be fired on a Tuesday afternoon? https://t.co/Tnyvkf1MJR

If guaranteed housing, free healthcare, a job guarantee and free education are so bad and Anti-American...why are those the main selling points military recruiters use to get you to join?

[Brandon Wall @Walldo]

I am begging journalists to follow to follow the advice from an obscure organization called the AP and stop saying "officer-involved shooting” https://t.co/9HH4b6opx8

[John FitzGerald @TheTweetOfJohn]

A Columbus police officer shot and killed a 15-year-old girl on Tuesday afternoon just as a guilty verdict was being handed down in a police brutality case that had held the attention of an entire nation. https://t.co/ujwsOBe2rJ

[Chris Vanderveen (yep…me) @chrisvanderveen]

We found more than 100 cases... similar to George Floyd's

Very few received little more than local news coverage.

[Chris Vanderveen (yep…me) @chrisvanderveen]

Reminder to all journalists...

This is how Minneapolis initially reported the death of #GeorgeFloyd
