The coming months I will be mainly taking care of my teaching and my mental health. I will not do interviews or lectures for a while. Please reach out to my many excellent colleagues instead.

Maybe he can ask JD to guest lecture for him? Is a Yale Boy!

Or you can actually read the post you felt the need to respond to so judgingly. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Sorry Chuck, I must have missed that. And I didn’t know you had this burner account.

IF the U.S. had an opposition party, these types of voters could be mobilized in the short term and won over for the long term.

if there is anything that will stop Trump and the white supeemacist GOP, it is guys like this.

If you can piss off these voters, you loose your soft base!

Tuurlijk! Geven we niet meer weg!

Nu 3 punten minder...

Absoluut genante vertoning van zo ongeveer iedereen bij PSV, maar ik verlies liever tegen Telstar en Volendam dan tegen Feyenoord en ajax.

Tuurlijk, we missen alle spitsen en de eerste twee keepers, almede Saibari en Van Bommel. Maar we spelen ook weer gewoon naad.

Eindeloos balbezit en amper echt uitgespeelde kansen creeeren. Doen we heel veel dit seizoen. En zonder echt spits is het dan moeilijk scoren.

Ja.... aleen viert helemaal niemand in deze selectie carnaval.

Let's be clear, there is NOTHING surprising about the Volendam lead. This cannot be a more typical PSV game.

Ok, I know this is going to be really hard to digest, so better sit down... are you sitting?

Not everything is about Russia!

This looks really cool, but is exactly in the period that I will be traveling a lot in Europe… maybe a guest lecture?

I am not so interested in which "think tanks" will get MAGA money. I am more interested in which colleagues will happily take that money by giving talks there....

Yes, I remember watching that one at Studio Sport. Even as an ajax-hater I was impressed.

He does get those laurels in Italy and the Netherlands though...

Exactly! Completely ahistorical framing. Leaving aside that you can simply look at today’s EU and see different levels of integration between member states.
