"Opinions are my own" in Twitter bios without an institutional affiliation is as sure a sign as any that an interlocutor does not understand the first thing about discourse.

@stacycay "I don't even need to have met you" is shorthand for "I have never made an argument in good faith and have only ever worked backward from the hateful conclusions I cribbed from more influential transphobic bobbleheads."

@_ZoeTwoDots What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen Swellow?

The Internet was a mistake.

Got my first death threat.

I mean this sincerely. This is my personal account. I look at what people say (regarding my line of work), but this is not an official line of communication for Niantic. If you want me to see your feedback, please be constructive. Threats are not.

@s_riyaad_a I'm not here to kink-shame, but I once stumbled on the subreddit for this kind of horseshit and I've never closed an app faster in my entire life.

@sacha_coward It's a perverse joy but: the shift in perspective from realizing a bumbling cis-het dude owes what small power he has to his unearned confidence. That's always a thrill for me.

@RevDaniel I don't know you all that well but I feel like posting out-of-context graphs isn't really catching the spirit of your brand.

@amahnke I mean, I'd listen to that episode if it turned out *Dr. Stejskal was a ghost all along.*

@drmistercody Regressive BS aside, he's also blithely eliding well-established notions of social psychology. If his scholarship were worth a damn, he wouldn't say stereotypes are "just categories." That's like saying a prison cell is just a room. It's not germane.

@NoraReed Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life." Or "Maps of Meaning." Any of his books, really.

Eat your heart out, protestant work ethic.

@sacha_coward In a way. My mother wanted to call me Jasmin but my father thought it sounded gay. I still wound up gay, just with the same first name as two to three other students per class growing up. 🤷‍♂️

*at a job interview*
“Can you perform under pressure?”
Me: “I’m not sure I know all the lyrics but here goes nothing.”

@NoahChasin @jm_beatty It's a good word, except the provided examples are not evidence of disfluency (not in speech-language pathology, at any rate). And if the speaker was disfluent, calling attention to it would be uncouth practically to the point of obscenity.

@amahnke @chadlawson I'm not sure there's anything more classless than tagging artists in bad reviews.

Once again, the correct Peterson.

@YoungMrDuffy @elessar42 I disaffiliated from a fan community when one of its prominent members served me an expletive-laced diatribe to the effect that any focus on Leia would be a betrayal of Star Wars' working-class roots. The kind of unhinged discourse fandom unleashes is deeply disturbing at times.
