Are you talking about K’s identity (woman, Black)? She emphatically disclaims that as one of the key reasons to elect her, which are: 1) She is a smart, sane, competent person who will hire the same. 2) She is not the unhinged head of a movement deeply dangerous to America.
Last provocative tweet for today: However this turns out, I hope the Dems will have learned a lesson: Don't prioritize identity over merit. If the republicans had chosen a human being as their candidate I don't know if this would even be close.

I don’t care how much eggs cost. I’m not voting for a man who admires Hitler.

Watching a cheesy movie where the hot young neighbour gifts Jennifer Lopez a first edition of her favourite book...The Iliad. A first edition. Of The Iliad. He found it in a garage sale.

Ghastly Stroke of Genius of the Day: a company that (somehow) recycles veal, which is more ethical and affordable. And here's the kicker. It's called: re-Veal

I'm super excited about this class. @WarrenZanes is a brilliant writer, rock musician, and educator—and his book about Nebraska will soon be a biopic with Jeremy Allen White as the Boss!
Discover the story behind Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska—a raw, haunting album recorded on a cassette in his bedroom. In this 3-part course, @WarrenZanes explores its unique place in Springsteen's career. Register now: bit.ly/3Amk2zz #Springsteen

The opacity of academic prose arises from the epistemological imperative to operationalize disciplinary jargon, facilitating intra-specialized discourse while obfuscating heterogenous interpretive accessibility and perpetuating a recursive dialectic of erudition and exclusion.
Why is academic writing so awful?

1) Your stance is not typical, even of many (like my folks) who typically vote Republican. Many are energized by her candidacy. 2) Of course Trump could win again. No responsible pundit thinks otherwise.
I know pundits now think Kamala will win, but I would at best reluctantly vote for her. And I voted dem all previous times. Sigh. If typical, then I think Trump could win, in spite of his lunacy & the miserable job he did before, something the public seems to have forgotten.

Quite probably not nearly as many as are tired of @IvankaTrump

My question is whether @elonmusk knows he’s creating propaganda (Chaotic Evil) or whether he’s so confused that he thinks he’s spreading truth (Lawful Evil). Either way, he’s lost

The umbrella is both the most underrated and the most overrated invention ever. Totally awkward and impractical, yet no one has yet come up with a better solution. Kinda like capitalism

Kamala should 100% agree to a debate on Fox. Crush him on friendly territory. Silence this nonsense about the ABC moderators.
