Good to know TSA trusts their full-body scanners so much so that even with an “all-clear” reading they still feel compelled to pat down my hair #SecurityTheatre
Also, it’s my backpack and I want to put it in a tray because your garbage carousel attacks bag straps #SecurityTheatre
LAX renovated, but like why tf is it so hard to find room temp bottled water?
Two things that make no sense at LAX rn: 1. Wintertime Minions inflatable at this Southwest gate (srsly y tho?) 2. People at the bar at 8:55AM (srsly y tho?)
Some guy is walking around with a non-mechanical pencil behind his ear, but it’s not a Ticonderoga so like y tho?
These “don’t accept packages from unknown persons” announcements are so weird. Are there really ppl walking around like “hey, can you hold this bag for two flights?”
If LAX were just a room full of people’s dogs, I’d be okay with that
To the lady prancing about the terminal: North Face backpacks > Osprey backpacks
No one denies this
Boarded my flight an hour late, but it’s fine cause one of the flight attendants lowkey looks like Santa
I take that back. Lowkey Santa flight attendant wouldn’t let me use the restroom, he iz Grinchly
1/ Many disconcerting things here: 1. That third-party/media reporting may be more effective and trustworthy than university HR or TIX offices; 2. That cautionary whisper networks may have some degree of selection bias on who is or is not informed about whom to avoid;
2/ 3. The use of “x told y person within z amount of time” as proof of the veracity or plausibility of harassment claims (not all cases have this, but those cases are still equally valid); 4. That double-digit victim numbers seems to be critical mass for “university response;”
3/ Dominguez’ repulsive behavior went on for nearly FOUR DECADES (1979-2015)? That’s far too long for those at the top to have been oblivious

2/ I presented this paper by @msalganik, @peterdodds, @duncanjwatts (2006) in a doctoral-level methods course on network analysis at UCLA. Authors are highly respected, paper has over a thousand citations:
3/ It would’ve been a disservice to Salganik et al (2006) if slide titles weren’t used for punny references to pop song titles or the music biz:

1/ I rarely comment on the gun control debate. I support reasonable, effective gun control. Yet, some liberals seem all too happy to dogpile on tribalistic virtue-signalling via backhanded insults to law-abiding gun owners:
2/ Many of these gun owners (my rural family included) also support gun law reform. Lobbing petty insults betrays: (a) dearth of knowledge on guns/current gun law; (b) refusal to see gun ownership as part of a valid cultural identity; (c) rabid desire to dehumanize “those people”
3/ All of these are equally problematic and divisive. So as a Mossberg 500-loving, blue state-residing, liberal Southerner who wants to see legislative reform of gun control, I say to other liberals – stop it
