I once again implore academics: do not put an email autoreply on when you are on sabbatical. Either your email doesn't matter or it does. People who write you don't need to know where you fall on that divide.

I think NIL is the right thing because exploitation is worse than opportunism. As a college football fan, I loved the structure that made amateurism part of the game that is now destroyed. Maybe I just need to go to high school games now and celebrate the contradictions of capital.

As a Texas fan and a doomsayer, I will say yes. After the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, Texas was not an adept offensive team. Thank the defensive coordinators and players for stopping us from being destroyed.

My sister came up with a banger: "Mansplaining should be an Olympic sport. Then we would know why they train so hard."

I am not any kind of political operative, but what if we just run on the nation state was a failed experiment? Time to dissolve all three branches and let some city states flourish

Americans: oh, look, a systemic issue. I will solve it individually

Getting a birthday message from your mortgage broker is a reminder that they both have all your data and you owe a bank three times the amount you paid for your home. Truly the Americanist dream.

I just received the advance copies of my first book. It is surreal and amazing. Getting to see my own thoughts in print is an overwhelming experience.

Yesterday I got into a totally absurd argument about the fact the literal war technologies are sometimes used ceremoniously in football. American football, being famous for it overt promotion of the U.S. military. Sports, a famous outlet for warrior culture. Social media is useless for me.

Um you can? Me expresseing a contrary opinion is not stopping you from having an opinion.

‘Until this simulation of war has no references to violence, I will have objections’ is an interesting position to uphold The canon is not a reference to anti indigenous violence or anti black violence. You are just viscerally reacting which is fine but meaningless

‘I, who have no reference for Texas football, find a tradition disturbing.’ You are allowed your reaction but please try and recognize that a tradition is also for the people who have been participating for decades. Your reference points are not our reference points.

personally I’ll die thinking George Bush is a war criminal that deserves a jail cell but I guess my hatred is just more pure

is it bad to wish democrats lose in the midterms? Two years of everything going to shit is one thing, but like worldwide cataclysm is guranteed to work for maybe 60 years. I mean Germany only got Nazis back today whereas US quasiNazis come back like the flu.

Sorry I hate to be this person but there is a woman abused at the heart of this. A woman who is desperately navigating family court and abuse and being an unwitting public figure. Her daughter is a victim but she is the heart of this and to erase her is unconscionable
