We were on a podcast! Huge thanks to Gillian and Zalfa for having us on to talk about settler colonialism and borders.

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

So Americans, can interest you in this new, fascinating idea called “anarchism”?

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

Being an academic means experiencing the heartbreak of being rejected by your true love repeated in new and interesting ways for several decades.

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

Good morning! I am currently on the job market - academic or otherwise - and am grateful for either news of hires, or interest in training and development by myself and Emma Lowman.

We will be in Canada from this week until the spring. Get in touch if you’d like to work with us!

@LikeChrisss @DrAllyLouks I wish for these problems daily.

[Chrismy is going to the World Cup. @LikeChrisss]

@DrAllyLouks Suffering from the success of your PhD thesis is next-level academia. Imagine your biggest problem being too many people wanting to read it. This is the academic version of going platinum.

@DRD_Tim NOW DO SEED OILS!

@realjessknight @esjesjesj That’s completely nuts.

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

@esjesjesj @MarcusCVance Excession is the best but you can’t read it cold or it makes no sense. Consider Phlebus is the weakest overall but one of the few (along with Use of Weapons 😱😭🤮) that stands alone.

Honest prediction: Canada will win world junior gold before the Maple Leafs make round two of the playoffs.

“Have loved [player name]’s game recently but that’s an unacceptable [any kind of error].”

This is what happens when you have a team built on the assumption that, if we make zero mistakes and the other team makes many, we might win by one.

Look at the power plays.

Have loved Dewar’s game lately but that’s an unacceptable turnover

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

@leafguy403 Team is not good. Coaching is not good.
Results over time don’t lie.

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

Ovi is right. This team still sucks.

[Terry Koshan 🇺🇦 @koshtorontosun]

What stands out about the #Leafs now compared to previous years? Ovechkin: "Same team. Different coach."

[Kevin Papetti @KPapetti]

The Leafs need more out of Matthew Knies

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

@Steve_Dangle In before anyone says I’m over-reacting: they’ve lost 3 of 4, they can’t score on the power play, Holmberg is inexplicably their 2nd line centre, anything less than all-world goaltending is an automatic loss, and Knies has looked useless since his injury. This team is in trouble.

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

@Steve_Dangle Why are they so bad, Steve?

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

I wish I had done research that fake-pissed-off right wingers so I could have a contrarian career. Instead I did research that legit scared right wingers, so I’m unemployed.

He also wants workers who, if they try to unionize to demand proper pay, he can easily deport by terminating their contracts.

Listen kids, it's not that Elon can't find American workers to do high tech jobs, it's that he can't find American workers to do high tech jobs for pennies on the dollar.

[Matchsticks & Gasoline @MatchsticksCGY]

To be fair, Hockey Canada probably didn’t expect any negative repercussions for choosing a suboptimal team as they’re not used to there being any consequences for their actions.

[Adam Barker @AdamOutside]

There’s an academic I know who spends their time, even over holidays, posting about how bad they are at their job, they’d rather do just about anything else, the university environment just feels so hostile, their students don’t respect them, and mate please quit I need a job.
