Well, Isaac, I bitterly resent discovering that in addition to being a sex pest and a mysoginst you were also a homophobe. Luckily, I had already written you off for the former, but the latter is a real cherry on top of your legacy!

but of course they do. They canât not! The New York Times has a clear from-the-top agenda of demonizing all treatment for trans people, and trans people themselves. The questions THEY KEEP ASKING JUST ASKING QUESTIONS are answerable, but they arenât interested in hearing them.
In one of the strangest calls for bipartisan â or maybe transpartisan? â unity weâve ever seen, the New York Times (gift link) yesterday offered an op-ed by Jon Shields, a history prof at the very very conservative Claremont McKenna College, arguing that if liberals in academe would like to help save America, then liberal professors should ârescue the GOPâ â by becoming mentors to bright young conservative students and by teaching courses on conservative thought. This, Shields argues, would be good not only for the students and for conservatism, but also for universities and American politics.
Liberal profs: âWe sent you two boats and a helicopter.â
At this point I recommend we send them a naval battle group, for their unconditional surrender.
I get a feeling that if they did teach actual conservative thought, they wouldnât recognize it.
âWhen do we get to the part about rounding up our enemies and people who make us uncomfortable and putting them into camps?â
âWrong class - thatâs the history of fascism next term. In this class weâre talking about sticking to policies that worked a century ago like they are brand new ideas.â
Course title âHow to be on the wrong side of history every fucking time and still not feel bad about it.â
Iâm available to teach the New York Times about transphobia.
you wouldnât want the young conservatives imprinting on a liberal prof who might infect them with postmodernism
⌠in a kind of second Southern Strategy, the Republicans have co-opted postmodernism
The Dems are ready to go back to the New Deal
This is my rule for when people talk about political and non-political, and it works every time. I wish it didnât.
Political is changing things and âpeopleâ donât like change (Shut up, you donât count!)
Non-political is the status quo. Nice, quiet and peaceful for everyone (Quiet! I told you to shut up! Stop being political!)
well fuck
and sent them a warning memo.
if i were a reporter, thatâs the kind of thing iâd frame and display proudly at my desk
