alt-right internet types keyed in on coverage of coded white supremacist language, and started promoting various innocuous things as being white supremacist symbols. The OK gesture is one of those. Note this is difficult to generally evaluate with certainty; because of the faux-ironic trolling reality-attacking approach these people use with everything, it's likely that a bunch of them, knowingly or not, do use these fake signifiers as actual white supremacist indicators.

Yeah, it started as a "trick", except other Neo-Nazis and the like started using it in complete seriousness. Once that started happening, people reported on it, then the *channers claimed victory for the success of their "trick" in getting people to think Nazis used it as a white power signal (which is exactly what was happening).

They basically gave the OK hand sign the Pepe treatment; it's now another thing Neo-Nazis and such are doing entirely unironically.

Edit: In case you're wondering how the OK hand sign could be a white power signal, the idea is that the three extended fingers are a W, and the finger circle + arm make a P. WP, "White Power".
These posts reminded me:



That carnation on Pepe's jacket is yet another one of these loving it-is-but-it-isn't-but-it-is co-opted signifiers.

To be fair, penis cutting has been used to signify membership in ethnic groups, so it's not that far fetched.

Can we get them hotboxing nitrogen?

See, air is like 78% nitrogen and then you've got 22% of troublesome minorities, like carbon dioxide. Cause a lot of problems. It'd be better if air was really pure, just 100% of the nitrogen master race. Breathing that pure air devoid of minority molecules is what a strong Aryan Übermensch would do. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote a memo laying the groundwork for the firing of FBI Director Comey. He says Comey was unaccountable. Here’s a version of Rosenstein’s memo published in The Atlantic.

But Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe writes in the The Washington Post that Trump obstructed justice when he fired Comey. He thinks Trump should be impeached.

Meanwhile, Senat minority leader Chuck Schumer is demanding a special prosecutor to investigate any possible Trump/Russian caper.

Gerald Seib calls this a “troubling undercurrent for Trump.” He quotes a WSJ/NBC poll saying, “The survey found a strong desire, cutting across political affiliations, for an independent commission or a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of Russia’s role in the 2016 election.”

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

To be fair to Tinsley, that's actually a properly-constructed joke.

That's a really excellent summary of both sides of the "faculty vs. the administration" dynamic that plagues the whole sector. It's become an "us vs. them" thing, and it gets in the way of solving any actual problems, which is frequently red tape administrivia or an inadequate distribution of resources based on faulty metrics, but is also frequently recalcitrant senior faculty refusing to adapt (and taking it out on people at the adjunct/non-titled/Assistant Professor levels).

I was at SUNY Albany during the period where private sector fucko George Philip was president and decided it was totally a good idea to eliminate five whole departments in the humanities (French, Italian, Classics, Theater, Russian) because hey, enrollments were down and we gotta run this thing like a business, right?
