Disavowed. I used to teach the debate but not sure there’s even much pedagogical value in that anymore

At least we have a good excuse for being unprepared

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your TA is most likely a grad student with thoughts, feelings, and even quite possibly, a name

Yes, I totally get it and would really be interested in reading it, but I'm not ready to make that commitment.

Rusty, how’s it going with the slides for tomorrow’s lecture?

Wtf. Is that an outlier? Guess it’s too soon to tell if the Navatek scandal will hurt her

Guess that strategy of moving further right to tap into AFD support didn’t exactly pay off. Who could have seen that coming

Paul Lerner @plerner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

At least there haven’t been any consequences

A Dutch grad student recommended I watch "The Boys" which I of course understood as him suggesting I read W.E.B. Du Bois (which actually made sense in the context.)

Got it, thanks! Fingers crossed.

I'm surprised Natalie let him see bad polls

Not saying this is actually going to happen, but we've known this nightmare would end in a spectacular fashion, just didn't think it would take this bloody long.
