You understand Michael every time Kevin & I go on a trip something random happens. We were in Walker Minnesota, less than 1000 people live there, & we were asked to witness a wedding for grad students who just decided that day to finally get married after being together for like a decade.

But as usual, libertarians will be tagged as responsible for the deranged craziness of anyone who also identifies as libertarian, no matter how actually not-libertarian they clearly are or how relevant they are, a standard that somehow only our ideology is supposed to uphold.

My old boss has asked me to give his new book a social media bump, because he has wisely chosen never to set up his own account! So I’m happy to announce that ‘Britain’s Slave Traders: A Hidden History’ is available today in all good bookshops! www.penguin.co.uk/books/460026...

I’d highly recommend that nobody download this app. At best, it’s unfiltered propaganda. At worst, it’s spyware.

I pay $160 for general faculty space parking that overflows by the time 9 o’clock hits every day and on Monday, Wednesday Fridays my first class doesn’t start till 12. A guaranteed specific parking spot in the pavilion is more than $600 a semester.

Covid update: I am functional today and not bedridden. I slept around 13 hours yesterday once I got home. My body no longer has the painful joint aches, nor do I have a fever, and the shakes are gone. Fingers crossed I’m good to return to work Monday.

However, if one more person says to me “Franklin doesn’t seem like a good guy” or “seems like an asshole” one more time because he wasn’t a great husband I am going to crash out. Jackson was devoted to his wife but committed genocide & Adams came very close to fucking up relations with France ffs.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

🔥 Russia’s “deep rear” logistics just got absolutely smoked by Ukrainian long-range strikes — Moscow & Tambov regions, drone component factories, and an oil facility turned into parking lots. Sea of Azov & Crimea got the mid-range special too. Ukraine’s drone warriors don’t miss. Cry harder, Putin.

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵
