@hencough Why should one person speak for a community of scholars who have diverse views on most every question? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hencough For example, if a university takes no position on what the right answer is in a dispute among scholars on a given question, its faculty and students will feel no institutional pressure to conform to either view — PolitiTweet.org

@GlennMorin10 Yes, some. Odd that you can't imagine any way to structure an organization other than in the manner of a profit-seeking corporation with a CEO. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@GlennMorin10 On the contrary, the different standards I hold universities to is a result of my high regard for the academic mission and my recognition of the unique and vital role they play in society — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hencough In official communications on behalf of the university, they would be exempt because the university should take no position on many things to better allow its members to seek truth — PolitiTweet.org

@TeachAllAmerica @wmweibel @TheRealHoarse @ebruenig What do you mean, "non-liberal"? I am in fact a liberal. Perhaps you mean "non-leftist" or "non-progressive"? That fits David and I but not Liz, who is on the left. Moving on, I don't know what "a commitment from you and your peers to direct action" means. What's an example? — PolitiTweet.org

I'd love to read a PhD thesis on when media outlets cover a subject straightforwardly vs when they adopt a "countering myths" framing — PolitiTweet.org

@JPober @katiedimartin That is benign, it's just dis-analogous to Gawker's treatment of Thomas or anyone else on its list. I don't know that it's possible to have a list of animus-driven shit posting targets and then to have your actual posts add up to benign. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JPober @katiedimartin Like Katie he couldn't see the ways the attacks he celebrated were not benign because his judgment was clouded by his politics — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@katiedimartin Setting aside this very Rush Limbaugh attitude toward people you disagree with, curious to know what makes Thomas an IDW person — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@TeachAllAmerica @wmweibel @TheRealHoarse @ebruenig In this case your disagreement is rooted in a factual error. I am not a Republican. Neither is Liz. And David has repeatedly lobbied Republicans about such changes. It seems like you have mistaken impressions about all three of us on the first example you gave. — PolitiTweet.org

@PwnySlaystation I think they're just interesting enough to have one of the several film critics I follow drawing on them — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@TeachAllAmerica @wmweibel @TheRealHoarse @ebruenig Hi Matt. I'm glad you enjoy my excellent colleagues. For the record, you can love or hate my articles, but they are zero percent cynical. I earnestly believe all of what I write. And I think Liz, who I'm proud to have as a colleague, comports herself similarly. — PolitiTweet.org

In a better timeline, instead of doing political videos for The Daily Wire, Jordan Peterson would have a short-form movie analysis vlog that analyzed everything from Hollywood blockbusters to "Le temps des secrets" through the lens of archetypes and myths. — PolitiTweet.org

@AnneCW @rasmansa @ijbailey No that's a straw man — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey Administrators speaking as heads of institutions, rather than as individuals, are different than students and faculty. That's the distinction. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @AnneCW @ijbailey Is it your position that no speech is illiberal speech or authoritarian speech? — PolitiTweet.org

If I were JetBlue I'd read the fine print on this one very closely! — PolitiTweet.org

College presidents should stop presuming to take political positions on behalf of institutions. Instead, they should leave talking politics to myriad faculty and students expressing their diverse viewpoints. Maybe presidents can use the extra time to cut administrative bloat. — PolitiTweet.org
The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle
When it comes to talking about national politics, 83 percent of college presidents said they censor themselves. Dur… https://t.co/zZbGgAsCcg

@adamdavidson Seems way better than Hillary Clinton from this summary. Does he have any history of supporting multiple dubious wars of choice? Or ethically suspect buckraking? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hiltzikm @katrosenfield I'm gonna go with centuries of Western philosophy over that hot take. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hiltzikm @katrosenfield I cited these cases. If you reject them all, and also cannot articulate what would constitute left illiberalism, then I am left with the conclusion that you're unable to see any fault with the ideology you identify with. https://t.co/VNlnRzQ2Xq — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hiltzikm @katrosenfield Seems like you need to specify what sorts of reasons you would find concerning for anyone to cite an example of whatever that is. — PolitiTweet.org

The quality of acting in Euphoria is fantastic. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hiltzikm @katrosenfield When localities in Red America ban books from a school library or the 1619 Project from a curriculum the material is nevertheless widely available. The only cases where the material isn't widely available are the *not ever published* cases that you're least worried about — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hiltzikm @katrosenfield Michael, I'd urge you to ask publishing industry insiders off the record if they believe what Kat has written about is going on. If your experience is like mine you'll get an earful. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hiltzikm @katrosenfield Put another way, if the Toni Morrison estate decided they would no longer allow her novels to be sold, and started buying up old copies and destroying them, no rights would be violated... But wouldn't that be a bad thing? And why is that? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hiltzikm @katrosenfield If a school library removed those books you could still buy them elsewhere. This removal means you can no longer buy new copies at all. Doesn't that have a bigger effect on the ability of people to consume the art and ideas they want even though no rights were violated? — PolitiTweet.org
