You ever write something and there are so many parts you hope people engage with that you can't figure out which ones to quote?
I'll do a wee thread on the 3rd, and final, essay from my Red Scares series

Ahhh that’s right, you were the culprit!! Happy to chat with your students if they have any questions!
I recently had a lovely time talking to @llassabe.bsky.social and the American Campus Podcast about Catholicism, radical traditionalists, and Triumph magazine. Listen here: americancampuspodcast.buzzsprout.com/2396665/epis...
Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

Presenting Spotify's star, absurdly highly paid podcaster, Joe Rogan.
The millions they pay him would, in a just world, be paid instead to the musicians whose work Spotify makes a fortune off, NOT to promote Nazi-style demonization of minorities.
Your Spotify subscription supports fascism.
Maybe doing some outreach to foreign press would be a good thing for the new communications guy to do 🤷🏻♀️

In retrospect, it was probably futile, but I do at least hope some people who have clicked “history” as one of their likes on Facebook got a thrill by being confronted with an article about a medieval depiction of trans Jesus.
In her review of Piketty, McCloskey points out that the Latin root of data is "things given," but that the documentation Piketty is working with, primarily tax records, is more accurately a reflection of "things seized." That is, not data, but capta. I want to détourné McCloskey's point to argue that capta is the appropriate title for the currencies of technofeudalism.? It is an economy which is growing increasingly inefficient, coercive, and authoritarian because the economic process it glorifies is not one of mutual consent to market exchange, but of non-consensual seizure of attention, identity, and future potential.
I’ve been trying to use capta consistently, where appropriate, and have been pleased to find, for many, no explanation is needed. It is very intuitive, as disciplinary jargon should be.
Crafting a version of reality in which right-wing college students are being persecuted for their strongly held beliefs not only legitimizes the firing of so-called liberal professors, but makes these actions necessary to save students from systemic harassment at the hands of a powerful institution.
ASTRONAUT 1: Wait, is “the campus left” just a fantasy object the center right can displace their cognitive dissonance on?
ASTRONAUT 2 [cocks his gun]: Always has been.
I’m still not done thinking about Chomsky and Epstein. Dibs on his obituary.
I promise to stop reposting SUNY P soon but a) I’m obsessed with this cover art, b) it’s about representing the (ahem) lumpenproletariat, and c) it’s available open access thanks to funding from Emory U, the author’s uni. Heavy on the Greimas and Jameson (complimentary).
[1] When bio-ethics are taught in Univ, the use of a woman’s cancer cells, in 1951 without agreement, is a significant example of unethical behaviour. Henrietta Lack’s cell line has been used for decades. A little justice is served & it’s something I worried about for years. We do…
It’s been two days and he has still not rinsed out the purple shampoo
Okay yall twisted my arm I’ll do it
Does anyone want an academics in the Epstein files episode with @andyhines.bsky.social

Mumford banjos are the opposite of xanax???
Want to know more about the sweeping trend of state mandated taxpayer financed and hyper empowered civics centers, and the political project they embody, as in Ohio? See this excellent @theguardian.com article @osuaaup.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Sorry this @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social episode is so late, but we went *deep* on this one! In "Once Upon A Time at Bard College" Moira walks me through one college president's relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, and what it says about sexual violence on campus. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...
They did not fully wash the purple shampoo out of this man’s hair
Students that have a red or a blue color wash over them mingle around a campus plaza.

If you give Einstein your credentials to log in, then it can access ALL of your campus portals: your financial accounts, transcripts, email, health records, &c. because all of that is under one umbrella. Literally the only way to your LLM is through your campus login. The security risk is massive.
Like, this was not pay. This is reimbursement of my own money that has already been taxed. Don’t make me sound like a TEA Party freak
what even is the fucking point
