@realJeremyCarl @firasmodad This is an opinion from the justice department. If there is a change in administration can’t the justice department just write a different opinion. Will this bit of paper change how a human resource department does its work?

@DavidBe31099196 Can I add a book to your reading list? Total Information State by @Jacob__Siegel . Although it focuses on how the American Democratic Party used “misinformation” as a political tool, it also explores how we try to organize the world & use power through “information”

@FischerKing64 The anti 1619 movement united critics from the 4th socialist movement (aka the Trotskyites) and the paleo conservatives from the American Conservative magazine (aka the Buchanan right) If Christopher Hitchens was still alive he would have jumped right in too.

@Musa_alGharbi @GutkinLen @chronicle This is a good essay but it needs even one quote or interview with a student who cheats or a faculty who excuses. I’m outside the university so I don’t know how much excuse making happens. Is FDB describing a well known social dynamic or a strawman? 🤷‍♀️

@lefineder @paulg Was silver getting stripped from the western Rhine legions to pay for Eastern fortresses in Armenia? Oh for an Excel spreadsheet. These were also the decades when Britain was abandoned & the Rhine legions lost some supplies from SE England. Rosemary Fleming writes about this

[ebr @ebr]

@lefineder @paulg By 395 the empire used a dual currency system (hard silver coins & an inflationary copper coins) This was also the age of great fortifications on the eastern frontier vs Persia whereas the Rhine legions was more a payment in kind budget. 2/3

@Amina_io To be fair, the middle class altogether is decaying in CA. the state very much has a “mansions & favellas” political economy

@pensandpoison I read war & peace in high school as my elective book. At the time I mostly felt bad for Pierre who never quite got his shit together & had to trudge all over Russia. Was that pretension or just adolescence?

Nowadays kids’ books have messages like “believe in yourself” and “you can do anything” but when I was a kid the messages were things like “a lady who has a candy house wants to cook and eat you” and “sometimes wolves can disguise themselves as old women”

@AuronMacintyre Link to book title? I would like to read it

It’s very odd that despite all the abundance of this century, it still lacks an aesthetic, no major non political and purely artistic movement, no "new avant garde," despite all the complains about individualism, conformity and "community" have never been so overwhelmingly present, weird. Maybe some movements are taking shape and I don’t see them yet.

everybody loves memoir duck, who nearly starved to death after his evil husband imprisoned him in an underground dungeon! *5 seconds later* we regret to inform you the dungeon was actually a Chuck E. Cheese and the duck had unlimited pizza coupons
