Jeff Lazarus
Political scientist at Georgia State University. Congress & elections. My feed is mostly politics but you’ll get some sports takes and terrible dad jokes along the way.
- Hate to break it but this isn’t even the largest act of personal self-enrichment by an American public official this month. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
- JD Vance holds NCAA trophy, it breaks. JD Vance visits the Pope, he dies JD Vance visits India, a war breaks out. JD Vance endorses his brother, brother gets creamed. I'm sensing a pattern.
- A blue whale calf averages around 25 feet in length and weighs 5,000-6,000 pounds at birth, and it's still only the second biggest baby on earth after this guy.
- 🚨Jefferson Griffin has FINALLY conceded to Justice Allison Riggs following his defeat in federal court on Monday. Griffin spent six months attempting to overturn his 734-vote loss in November: www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...
- Increasing automation in the classroom always makes me think of the old Soviet joke "We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us" because sometimes I fear we're headed toward a future where we pretend to teach and they pretend to learn.
- Reposted by Jeff LazarusThis is a really bad metaphor. Houses serve a purpose, but math homework doesn't NEED to be solved. I like Ted Chaing's metaphor: using AI for homework is like using a forklift to move weights in a gym. No one needs weights in a gym to be moved. The desired change is /within/ you.
- Reposted by Jeff Lazarustrying to imagine the reaction to two planes falling off an aircraft carrier with kamala harris as president
- Man those fighter jets are REALLY fighting to get away from Hegseth.
- Reposted by Jeff Lazarusidk man, maybe the secretary of defense should focus a little less on warfighter lethality and more on mandatory compliance and safety training
- Reposted by Jeff Lazarusjust so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful
