In today's marketplace of ideas, there's too many ideas. Only #universitypresses can stem the flow of ideas by subjecting them to the laborious peer review process, which is highly deflationary

In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks https://t.co/lAzsE0YBcA

@noahfrickalofs I was happier with the heron on the other sleeve, but overall this was a very liberating arts and crafts project, and I encourage all the people who just got into birds to consider also getting into outsider embroidery

As the information on this website becomes harder and harder to access, it's time to lay out some hard truths.

"USS Cerritos" is top-tier joke, brutally incisive about the limits of utopian vision, yet warmly relatable in its pathos

Wild how this iconography that's supposed to connect this guy to a rich unbroken tradition of violent racists is totally inscrutable to me about eighteen months after I stopped attempting to keep on top of This Bullshit.

Is the V supposed to be a synchretistic cross/hammer?

This weekend, the @nypost published two hit pieces against me, including one about how my district office is never staffed, which is a shameless lie.

Normally when they pull this nonsense, I just ignore them, but this time they insulted my staff, and that’s going too far. 🧵

Technically there's no constitutional separation of powers between the judiciary and NewsCorp

SCOOP: A Bronx judge—who has caught tabloid and law enforcement ire for her bail decisions and for discrediting NYPD testimony—is about to be yanked away from criminal cases, courthouse sources confirm:

I'm really bugged by my brain's continued reflex to treat blue check marks as authoritative

@AndrewSshi My vantage point is that Linnaeus made reptiles go with amphibians because of how they usually appear in allegories, but in any rational system birds go with reptiles and amphibians are wild, just wild man. Yet I find frequent recourse to refer to my herpetology background 🤷

#OnThisDay #OTD April 14, 1996, Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers, when "22 Short Films About Springfield" first aired on Fox. @thatbilloakley @Joshstrangehill #TheSimpsons #SteamedHams

People out here like "ACTUALLY the real problem is the PRECEDENT this will set" in a world where we still can't rename Samuel Dickstein Plaza

[Will Cerbone @professionill]

@edburmila Limbaugh-and-them-all's intellectual project kind of hinged on getting everyone's brain to reflexively sub out the question "what is real?" for "what can you prove in court?" in every context to make communication impossible

[Council Member Tiffany Cabán (D22) @CabanD22]

This is what $36M means to libraries.

For context, it amounts to less than one-third of one-percent of the NYPD’s $11B budget.

To say we can’t afford it insults NYers’ intelligence, in addition to threatening our communities.

We absolutely cannot pass these cuts.

[Tiffany Cabán @tiffany_caban]

🧵 NYPD “addressing” overtime now. Saying if they had more officers they would use less overtime. FALSE. We have the largest PD in the country. Gonna use my years long experience as a public defender to debunk this…

I'll just come out and say it: The AI term papers read like George F. Will columns

[Tiffany Cabán @tiffany_caban]

🧵 This is deeply problematic. I’ve visited trained, dedicated professional mental health first responders across the US. They consistently point out a couple of truths. Often the wrong responder & response is what creates a deadly situation, not the mental health crisis itself.

[Will Cerbone @professionill]

Say what you will about that fabric, but it's striking how insensitive the whole system is to overt dumbitude

[Will Cerbone @professionill]

Lol this is the grade of dumb shit it took to derail the wealthiest polity in the history of the world. The grade of dumb your media can be while retaining the power to shred a cultural fabric woven by hundreds of millions is "incredibly"
