A sure sign that everything is going GREAT. 👍🏻 #sureJan

I wasn’t there, but I’m hearing that the Plato’s cave version of the halftime show was predictably underwhelming and cringe. Glad I decided on the philosopher’s path instead. #superbowl #halftime #allAmericanBunny

I’m having a hard time deciding which outcome I’d rather see at this point.

It’s absolutely bananas that Thune didn’t go for this. Schumer just handed him a lifeline but he refused it because—what, it would’ve saved Republicans from themselves? Now he’s gonna be back to fielding angry calls at all hours from the 🟠 about abolishing the filibuster. 🤦🏼‍♀️

The audacity! 🙄

I just barfed in my mouth a little.

At least a vending machine will dispense a Snickers bar or something… 🤷🏼‍♀️

The headline says it all. They are more than willing to send money to bail out authoritarian leaders in other countries, but must be dragged kicking and screaming to feed kids at home. It’s just gross. #thecrueltyisthepoint #SNAP. apple.news/ASOJuVFWaRYe...

I’m with you on this one: they *are* absolute freaks! 😂

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo^♾️

Yeah. It’s not great over here for sure. #takemewithyou

Is there anything he doesn’t have a material interest in at this point? #nomorebillionaires

Correction: the little blob or black has been incorrectly identified as a pocket square and pocket lining. Fact check: sources confirm this is the black sludge at the core of his soul attempting an escape.

Agreed. The biggest gift they could give him on this one is to save him from himself. Then he can go on blaming them for whatever fresh hell he visits on the US economy but be protected from the worst effects of his idiotic ideas.

🤦🏼‍♀️

omg and to think we could’ve had Mandela Barnes…

wait what am I looking at rn and why 🤦🏼‍♀️

Quick question for the political scientists out there:

What’s your favorite example of a piece of political science literature being terribly misconstrued in subsequent work?

I’m looking for some examples for my research design course. Thanks in advance! #PoliSky #Academia #litreviews

This is so normal. And it totally sucks. This is the worst part of the process, in my opinion. But you can only do what you can do. Hopefully, your advisor will help you identify any must-fix things. The rest will have to wait until when/if you decide to revisit them in the future. Good luck! :)

...to make the defense/revisions process as smooth and quick as possible. But it often makes the last few weeks somewhat miserable for students. I think showing up with the low-hanging fruit already handled will show your good faith and then your advisor can help trim down your remaining tasks!

...Hopefully, your advisor will help identify the key adjustments you should make and the others can just go on an "if I have time" list. But I often find that this part is the hardest for students. As an advisor, I try to anticipate what other committee members might have complaints about...

...then you might be able to fix the easy stuff and ask your advisor for some help prioritizing the harder to fix stuff. Sometimes we get into the "zone" and just jot down what we're thinking in the margins, but it doesn't always mean it ALL needs to be done before we'll sign off...

This part is so hard. But it can be a good sign. It can mean that your advisor cares enough to help you make your writing the best it can be. It might help to look through the feedback and rate it: maybe green for "super easy to fix," yellow for "doable to address," etc...

He doesn’t care as much about election denial when it isn’t *HIS* election. I think his election denial is in large part a way to protect his fragile narcissist’s ego. If members of Congress lose, it isn’t actually *him* losing so he can protect his ego without, you know, storming the capitol.

You can use it. He’s probably 80lbs or so and his nose comes up to my waist. Here he is standing on his hind legs in the shallow end of the pool for reference (you can use this one, too):

A goofy Doberman with gigantic ears.

Here’s my derpy Doberman, Moose.

@timmiller.bsky.social I loved the debut of True Crime Tim™ on the Next Level today. Now do the Trump Models saga. I guess I hadn’t realized how recently that was still happening. It puts the Diddy pardon talk in a whole new light. It’s all so gross and SO shady.
