Working in #highered I have the thought "isn't all academia dark academia" a lot, but now it feels like that's going to be way less of a joke.

Happy misery day!
If you are voting for Harris-Walz because you think it's the best way to avoid worst-case-scenarios, I respect that. Having Harris as president could do a lot of good things domestically, and the one thing Dems do consistently well is SC choices. And public education.

If you are voting 3rd party (leftward) because Harris's take on Palestine/Israel is beyond the pale or you simply cannot support the party anymore, I respect that. The Dems have held us hostage with "what else are you gonna do, idiot?" for too long, and it's hard to think of any way of getting through to them beyond withholding votes.

If you're voting Libertarian, that's hilarious.

If you're voting for Trump, you are cruel and I do not respect it.

Playing TV news in a hospital waiting room is cruel. I mean everything in the American healthcare system is obviously cruel and this is a minute point, but people are going through enough, you don't have to also put them through that.

The thing where contemporary bad/annoying things make you miss old bad/annoying things: Nothing makes me miss dumb Buzzfeed listicles like Insta reels/TikToks that are just a list of things posted over a person staring at camera and nothing else.

I had had in my head for years the idea of writing a song that was sort of about emotions but strictly about the works of Richie Kayne and I have now started in earnest on it and it’s actually pretty great. #syntax #linguistics

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/admissions/traditional-age/2024/09/19/colleges-brace-lawsuits-enforcing-affirmative-action-ban Not that it wasn't ever 100% clear, but the fact that anti-DEI/affirmative action/diversity groups are suing colleges simply for not showing declines in minority student admissions fully unmasks the movement as not wanting "fair" admissions but wanting specifically for there to be fewer non-white students.

I'm sure there's thing I listen to from when I was young that are mostly bad, but I can recognize for the most part when it's nostalgia and I'm not gonna act like some band like the Verve Pipe has been unfairly neglected by time and memory.

I will really and truly never comprehend Limp Bizkit revisionism. There doesn't seem to be irony there, and it seems to have moved beyond what originally seemed like conscious contrarianism to real belief that the music is clearly good.

It's not! Limp Bizkit sucks and always has! Most numetal is in fact bad but Limp Bizkit is wretched! This is not debatable!

One thing about watching the Olympics is I can't help feeling that American fans are uniquely cringe.

It's considerably more true for Israel than it is for Hamas.
