I mean, he usually was!

Come on! "Silent death" is straight out of the Sermon on the Mount!

Pete sometimes gets to dress up and say big boy things. Give him a break! He gets extra dessert if he does a good job.

Bye bye Kristi--Pam, you're next!

When your mom is too strung out to remember which name she likes better and smashes the top two together...

Maybe it's just me, but the chief of a major news operation probably shouldn't be shitposting at major political figures. Right...?

He should not be given the privilege of being called an "emeritus professor."

I really feel he added his own imaginative touches to the girl who was stabbed. Like he was totally visualizing it.

He has described a lot of murders in vivid detail.

I couldn't rewind, so I missed SO many much bigger eyerolls I couldn't capture. They hated this! Right?

I believe that. I didn't have the stomach to do that myself. Fuck these transphobes for eternity in proctologist hell for abusing these kids.

Also, way to describe a tragic murder with delicious glee.

Sage somehow doesn't seem as thrilled to be there as their parents. Wonder why?

She also slept with a member of her security team.

Not anymore, on either count.

You should be spending 100% of your time, if you actually care, investigating why "liberals" and "progressives" hate trans people. Your article tells us nothing we don't already know, and does nothing to address the problem.

I wish you'd given this to someone with a much smaller chip on his shoulder and a lot more experience. The guy quit before even getting tenure. If you haven't been a multiple PI on grants, refereeing, campus selections, etc., you just don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Tyler Austin Harper is an Assistant Professor of slight accomplishment at a tiny liberal arts college. Yet he has carved out a lucrative niche as a contrarian humanist. One wishes that he had some actual experience to inform the sweeping judgements he makes.

Also, the Atlantic is a fucking rag.

Ouch.

How about you publish what you wrote without a paywall? Grift, grift, grift.

JB, take a pause before you promote some garbage list that TIME MAGAZINE (aka, a name owned by a hedge fund) says about anything. UIUC is NOT the "235th" ranked university, and UIC is absolutely, incontrovertibly not the "151st." I'll let you try to figure out what is wrong with that picture.

Yeah, these rankings are pure bullshit. Nobody in the world believes that.

On what planet is UIUC ranked BELOW UIC? 🤔

People are the absolute fucking worst.

They shoulda just said they were flashing them the "ok, fash" gesture in solidarity! 👌

Agent: "Just so you know, they were pulling out handguns to threaten us."

Bystander: "You mean, like actual handguns?"

Agent: "Well, like this" [makes gun fingers with hand]

Bystander: "Oh, you mean like gun SYMBOLS?"

Agent: [nods awkwardly]

Good for you on this! Brockman is a scumbag, and all of his clients are tainted.

A Brockman agent tried to sign me last year. I told him to get stuffed. Not only is Brockman an Epstein bro, his client list reads like a who's-who in bad scientific actors. No fucking thanks.

Why?

Will he disclose his relationship with Epstein? Or are you guys just late-stage Weimar collaborators?

Worth noting that Kash Patel's girlfriend gets SWAT protection when she travels.
