It’s not going to be possible to erase this from Chomsky’s legacy and people shouldn’t sacrifice their own reputations trying.

This wasn’t even true when I graduated college in 2009

[Kent State U Press @KentStateUPress]

Excited to hear Kent State University Press’s director, Clara Totten, on the American Campus Podcast, where she talks with @llassabe about the meaning and value of university-press publishing. https://t.co/09LreY848V

📣 liberals only understand aesthetics

[aaron from queens 🇵🇸 @aaronnarraph]

For @thenation, I wrote about the trend of young Democratic candidates attempting to duplicate the aesthetics of the Zohran campaign, without the ideological foundation, economic populism, or authenticity that made it successful.

Does the entertainment industry know that it’s next after media and education?

[Lauren Lassabe Shepherd @llassabe]

@DavidAstinWalsh I think this set the pace for that

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years. And it's gonna be a beauty. It'll be an absolutely magnificent structure.

[Lauren Lassabe Shepherd @llassabe]

Ask to see the campus yearbook from 1890 or something. What was going on. Something that will blow your mind I bet. Come back and tell us about it.

[Lauren Lassabe Shepherd @llassabe]

Every time I come across some fascinating research on college history the author is affiliated with a conservative think tank lmao

[Lauren Lassabe Shepherd @llassabe]

There is A GIGANTIC CHASM of leftist scholarship on the academy itself outside of the 1960s and like, our current moment

Wondering if anyone has thoughts about how this statistic intersects with the inherent value of human life and the unconditional unacceptability of violence

Trump on Charlie Kirk: "Oh, when I heard it? I was in the midst of building a great -- for 150 years they've wanted a ballroom at the White House, right? They have to use tents for President Xi when he comes over. If it rains, it's a wipeout. And so I was with the architects ... "

aesthetics are more important to liberals than material reality because they are not materially harmed by our reality but offended by its aesthetics

[dylan saba @shaabiranks]

Seeing sections of that Ezra Klein piece has me feeling completely insane. I genuinely cannot comprehend, not even a little bit, what liberals think is going on

[Sophia @skmadeleine]

the liberal writer impulse to empathize with the least empathetic party in any situation has long ceased to be an exercise in compassion or humility, it is almost always a way for people to indulge in fantasies of being the most level-headed + benevolent person in the room

[Paul Renfro @paulmrenfro]

The 1980s and 1990s were actually quite turbulent—Hinckley’s assassination attempt on Reagan, the height of the war on drugs, mass incarceration, the LA uprising, Waco, and a resurgent white power movement (Joseph Paul Franklin, The Order, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City, etc.).
