Tried @NavanEdge and it was worthless. Provided inaccurate prices, didn’t follow my stated preferences, couldn’t complete tasks, and overall was a big waste of time. Deleting.

Tobias, like all of us, may have had his flaws, but at least he understood what it meant to be a university trustee as opposed to a MAGA entertainer.

I’m happy @sagesteele is taking advantage of the free speech protected by the #ChicagoPrinciples at @IndianaUniv, where she is a trustee. I assume she will stand in robust defense of anyone who wishes similar pain and suffering on her friends on the political right.

2/2 The relevant First Amendment test is whether this stunt affects her competence to teach a narrow and specific subject (food & drug law) as a remote adjunct. It doesn't, and fake outrage from political blowhards shouldn't change that.

1/2 This woman is an idiot & an example of the worst toxic "influencers." I would never want her as a colleague. But she teaches part-time at a public U that has adopted the #ChicagoPrinciples, and her expressive activity is likely protected against retaliation.

Says the guy who looks like the child molester in a Hitler youth camp.
"They're all deformed in some way," says Stephen Miller, about the appearance of antifa protesters. The projection is strong in this one.

2/2 Unfortunately it’s little more than a narcissistic personal anthem by someone who checks all the mandatory niche boxes (pronouns “he/she/they” … of course), not a serious response to the larger political and cultural arguments made in the NYT piece. advocate.com/opinion/queer-n…

1/2 The NYT “gay not queer” essay, which got so much hysterical queer hate, was built on a serious argument about the political and cultural consequences of the queerification of LGBT identity. This essay, apparently, is the official queer response. advocate.com/opinion/queer-n…

"Practical originalism." "New conservative legal vision." What a joke. A WSJ journalist can dress it up however he wants, but Alito is a result-driven, right-wing partisan hack, nothing more. Always has been, always will be. wsj.com/us-news/law/samuel-a… via @WSJ

Randy Barnett, whom I once admired, has fully made the descent from provocateur to curmudgeonly asshole to Trump flack to unbalanced lunatic.

Two weeks after my @ouraring 1 year warranty expired, the thing has become worthless. Won’t sync, gives wildly inconsistent battery readings. Don’t buy this.

.@ishapiro spoke at my law school 2 yrs ago and wasn’t canceled. I went, listened, and concluded *he* has lived in echo chambers and has no ability to speak to anyone who isn’t predisposed to applaud sweeping overstatements and cherry-picked facts. open.substack.com/pub/ilyash…

It’s still reliably an overflowing MAGA toilet, so I don’t know what the problem might be.
My apologies for frustrations with the 𝕏 algorithm. We are working hard to fix the problem.
