"55 percent of Democratic [students] said opposite political views would make them less likely to befriend another student, compared to 21 percent of Independents and 12 percent of Republicans."
Ideological tolerance looks pretty thin at Dartmouth.
AOC on increased NYC crime: "Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent & are scared to pay their rent & so they go out & they need to feed their child & they don't have money so... they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry."
This is the platonic ideal of a Vox take. You might not like it, but explaining how the new Animal Crackers box art is problematic because it doesn’t dismantle capitalism is what peak performance looks like.
So far this weekend, one NYT journalist has lied about a respected entrepreneur using a bad word in an attempt to get him punished; another has published the personal phone number of a journalist in an effort to shame him; 1/
When my friend Adam Rubenstein was berated publicly on here and elsewhere and thrown under the bus by his feckless colleagues for doing his job, you said absolutely nothing to his defense. Eat a gallon of shit.
New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay's comments on MSNBC have been irresponsibly taken out of context. Her argument was that Trump and many of his supporters have politicized the American flag. The attacks on her today are ill-informed and grounded in bad-faith.
(Twitter deleting that awful, awful tweet about the queen from the unpleasant professor is not great and seems like a new rule standard they just made up?)
This diminutive clown writes a book about another network then claims that it’s not his place to speak about the publicly obvious issues with his own network

about recent ethics concerns with Jeff Zucker and Jake Tapper, and if it was acceptable for Chris Cuomo to have a "re-occurring prime time comic routine with his brother" instead of asking about his order sending COVID patients in nursing homes
“The United States had two months or more to learn from China’s experience with this coronavirus,” writes Yi Rao. “It could have done much more to lower infection rates and fatalities.”
Saying that violent video games lead to more mass shootings has about as much statistical evidence as saying that playing Madden leads to more CTE and playing FIFA to more tax evasion.
Jonathan Swan is very good at his job. We are lucky to have him. Why he seems to be the only one across similar American outlets and positions who asks necessary, blunt questions, and concomitant follow-ups, is another question altogether.

@jonathanvswan
presses Rep. Tlaib on backing a bill to end federal prisons: To what extent have you wrestled w/ potential downsides?
Tlaib: I think everyone's like, oh my god, we're going to just release everybody.
Swan: But the act you endorsed actually says release everyone
Who would dare accept a nomination to the Supreme Court after the president fulfilled their constitutional duty by choosing them to fill an open seat?? How ghastly
THREAD: For the next time bad-faith critics say that free-speech types never stand up for non-conservative academics, here's a list of prominent right-wing writers defending Fresno State University professor and execrable troll Ronda Jarrar.
NEW: Nancy Pelosi just urged U.S. Olympic athletes not to speak out against the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights abuses while they are in Beijing, saying the athletes shouldn’t risk “incurring the anger” of the “ruthless” Chinese government.
Your societal position exists because of a governmentally subsidized monopoly, not your own intelligence or merit. But yet these academics pretend they hate “the myth of meritocracy”
Lol hack
BREAKING: Left-Wing Fox News Anchor Shepard Smith Resigns Effective Immediately: Left-wing Fox News anchor Shepard Smith resigned effective immediately on Friday afternoon from his role as Chief News Anchor and Managing Editor of Fox News’ breaking news…
Please pray for my family, if you’re the type. We’ve been going through it the past few months, and recent news makes pretty clear we’re about to go through it again.
$10 million more to support the work of a man who believes there is no such thing as objectivity, rhetorical suasion is "suicidal," and that opposing any number of discrete policies, from universal healthcare to the Green New Deal, makes you racist. Excellent
$10M to Dr. Ibram Kendi and the Center for Antiracist Research at BU. This research will inform and fuel much needed and overdue policy change. I appreciate you Dr. Kendi, and I’m grateful for your work!

@brianstelter
’s entire job is to watch Fox News and then whine about it but yet he can’t seem to take the time to check their coverage to see if a historic church is on fire before implying another journalist is a liar
If Trump doesn’t get kicked off Twitter, Youngkin probably doesn’t win in Virginia. Not being forced to answer daily questions about whatever thing Trump went off on that day is going to be such an electoral boon to GOP candidates in the midterms.
The New York Times has been stealth editing portions of the 1619 project, and HNJ has been happy to lie through her teeth about what she said many times before.

My original tweet is mainly addressed at grad students and PhDs but it works for all levels. The difference is undergrads are usually suckered into believing they have to have a college degree for acceptable remuneration. In fact, that’s not often true. And almost never should be
