I'm writing an intro & sourcebook on late ancient Gazan literature for Dar al-Kalima University Press. The press and I plan to produce an Arabic translation to make Gazan literature more accessible to Palestinians. Help me compensate the Gazan translator!

Ok, let's say you accidentally got a nazi tat. Would you not break the speed limit driving to the shop to get it covered up the second you found out

everything else apart, if you're too dumb to get your nazi tattoo covered up before you run for Senate, you're too stupid to be in public office

If people affiliated with the campaign have to fall back on stuff like this in October in the year prior to the election, you're toast, pack it in.

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.

Just insane thing for a NYT editor to say publicly:

New 📕🚨! I haven't had a chance to read the Pictish argument at all, but the vol. itself is beautifully produced & looks useful, w/a whole section on early medieval Gospel books generally, detailed studies of each Gospel in Kells, an "afterlives" chapter, and more. Can't wait to dig in! #medievalsky

Thiel: I believe the antichrist is a literal person.
Me: Okay.
Thiel: In fact I think they may be walking around now.
Me: It’s certainly possible. I can think of a few candidates like-
Thiel: It’s Greta Thunberg!
Me: What?
Thiel: or Eliezer Yudkowsky?
Me: Who’s that?
Thiel: He hates AI & I hate him.
