I increasingly think yelling at each other is actually a thing a non-negligible portion of people on social media actually want to do 😬 the things people get worked up about are wild!

There’s a reason we all fucking love watching sports together. It’s a fucking respite from yelling at each other about the horrors. Why not encourage more of that? We can still keep yelling at each other about the horrors. We can also have more variety in the respites.

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

It's right to be outraged. Just as it's right to be outraged when ICE guns someone down. But I also want us to remember all of the people dying due to deplorable conditions in prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers, bc they are also being murdered by the state.

No, Tyler. Im angry because I know you know that the lack of public trust in US universities is the result of DECADES of media and political efforts--of which your whole grift is part. Quite the gall to be part of destroying public trust and then turn around and point to the lack of public trust.

Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper · 5h What’s striking about the academics who are hysterically opposed to more ideological diversity in academia is that they have no plan for regaining public trust and don’t even seem to think they need it. Their only strategy is complaining that the media and right are mean to them. Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper · 5h I think increasing the representation of non-progressive ideas in academia is a necessary (though not sufficient) condition for regaining public trust. If you disagree, fine. But most of the people melting down have no alternative theory about how to regain public confidence. Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper In fact, the bulk of angry responses seem to tacitly turn on the idea that public trust isn’t something academics should have to lower themselves to care about. The public owes the Ivory Tower trust and money, but that same public should also have no say in what goes on there.
