Joining the exodus. If you need me I'll be over on the other site.

@DailyZeitgeist @jack_obrien @milesofgray @BlakeWexler Word on the latest episode is Miles is handing out Discord invites. As Twitter and democracy crumble around us, I would love to engage with Zeitgang somewhere that's not here!

I get that journalism is important (even if WaPo is rapidly losing credibility), but pointing out hypocrisy like this doesn't matter anymore. It's pretty clear that when conservatives say they're concerned about "immigrants" what they actually mean is "non-white people"

@jemelehill "Everything that affects you is 'identity' and therefore frivolous, but everything that (I'm convinced) affects me is 'policy' and therefore very important."

@dieworkwear Have you ever written anything on the Zoot Suit Riots in 1943? I'm a high school history teacher, and we touch on it every year, but I lack the expertise to know why that type of suit was so popular among Latino youth. Seems like the exact kind of intersection you're referencing

Some days you comport yourself with educational professionalism. Other days you get blindsided wearing a floral shirt, socks w/ sandals, and a Batman apron because it's homecoming week and someone forgot to tell you about the very serious and formal meeting you needed to be at.

Should've stopped after "I'm no expert," because this is beyond wrong.

Let's take a little walk thru history to see how big of a lie this is - oft-repeated hasbara by those committed to rewriting history & erasing Palestine & Palestinians to justify slaughter & ethnic cleansing.

Conflicted to report that "Higher" by Creed still slaps, and that @ryankerch, sensing from afar a disturbance in the Creed-force, texted me immediately after I finished listening to it.

"Back when I was in college, I was a cool, virile twenty-two-year-old with washboard abs and a large group of friends. Students today would struggle to say the same, since I’m sixty-two, my kids hate me, and my doctor says I’m prediabetic."

Because @ryankerch is too humble to post his own work, I shall share his trivia team name photoshop with the world, for it is beautiful.

@JoshLipnik You had "In the hall of the Rust Belt King" sitting right there!

You dream of riches or a world without suffering, I dream of a pastrami sandwich so delectable that God himself would leave his heaven to raid my refrigerator... We are not the same.

There’s a whole Type Of Guy who never thought twice about Liz Taylor playing Cleopatra but if a black woman gets the part launches a 100+ long tweet thread about the genetic distribution of the post-Alexandrian Mediterranean and how this the casting is historically inaccurate 🤔

Since rfk is dropping out I’d like to thank him for giving me the opportunity to make one of my best jokes I’ve ever come up with
