@katy_mathers @BSC2024Strath @EmeraldFairSoc I'd like "Punishment, probation and parole" edited by Maier, Ricciardelli, McNeill, because I research the justice system in Germany and sometimes the only way to convince policymakers to make positive changes is with international comparison.

@CaseyNewton This must be a fake account, since the real Elon Musk said he was stepping down a few months ago. Always important to confirm your sources!

My dissertation is now a book that you COULD buy, but that would be ridiculous for several reasons. It is free here: https://t.co/ksZRoOIAjU Also it is about German community-policing officers who mostly started their careers in the DDR, and it is symbolic interactionism also.

Though it will go unnoticed by most Americans, October will be the 90th anniversary of what is widely considered the most unethical medical experiment in American history—the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. https://t.co/SBDu6iaVlz

@TheRealEHorton @ByMikeBaker I believe the town cops are the future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty that they have inside. Because the greatest love of all is protecting cops at the expense of a bunch of elementary school kids.

[aary barry @aaroninsociety]

@PostOpinions Because WP keeps publishing op-eds by NRA shills who are just intentionally muddying the waters and trying to "both sides" this when one side clearly doesn't care about dead children.

@AbernathyGary Things the founding fathers didn't do a great job of predicting: national elections, slavery, modern religion, a standing army, environmental protection, that a ban on "excessive bail" would somehow be interpreted as not preventing a lack of bail, much more.

[aary barry @aaroninsociety]

@AbernathyGary How does a guy like this get a column in a national newspaper? This is definitely a "see me" in a high school media studies class.

@FoldableHuman I saw the best minds of my generation zoom out and learn to love their slightly differentiated digital apes.

@DerekEdwards023 @jananiu are you sure that a sample of 120 university students in an entry level course who received course credit for their participation isn't representative to the entire population of humans who ever existed?

[aary barry @aaroninsociety]

@MaraWilson So I'm leaning towards this being a more pronounced US thing and as an American living in Europe I know I'm definitely right.

[aary barry @aaroninsociety]

@MaraWilson I found this to be a problem for (some?) Germans taking US-made language exams. You're expected to prove your ability by having strong opinions about topics that have just been presented to you, and because they don't have knowledge of the topic they just don't say much and fail.

[aary barry @aaroninsociety]

@Dieter75 @ElishevaMarcus @MichaelaHirsh @OfficialBBrooks Oh sorry, you're a troll.

[aary barry @aaroninsociety]

@Dieter75 @ElishevaMarcus @MichaelaHirsh @OfficialBBrooks Umm no it's not, it's like the core part of the history curriculum in schools.

@DavidAstinWalsh Don't forget "band of brothers," a friend of mine (at 29!) specifically joined the marines because of that and ww2 nostalgia media generally

@JohnDiesattheEn If you think writing is so easy why don't you give it a shot! It's not as easy as it sounds, especially if you give away who dies in the end right in the beginning!

[Vincent Bevins @Vinncent]

I find that my generation (US A millennials, especially those in the professional class) is far too optimistic about "mask off" moments. Traditionally what happens when a murderer's mask falls off is that he continues to kill you
