From her website:

As a Black Political Scientist, African centered, grounded in the theory of Afrocentricity, and Linguistic Imperialist researcher, I am in a disruption process.

I went to high school with a guy with a first name of King.

Same thing.

Ms. Sekai, change your name.

STEM PhDs, which by any account signal way more ability and social value than whatever this idiot’s PhD signals, make up a large part of the bottom rung of my company’s workforce. Nobody walking around getting called doctor, I can tell you that.

[Mik]

My neighbor was like that. Got his doctorate in...counseling. He expected to be called Dr. Hooker.

Yet this clown could not even meet face to face. When they were going to make a modification in their yard that would route a lot more stormwater through my yard, he sent his wife out to talk to me about it.

Physician, heal thyself.

[George K]

Guess what?

I AM a doctor. The kind that treats patients.

Never, ever, asked anyone to call me that. If they did, in a non-professional environment, I would just insist on "George."

[Horace]

I liked the Twitter comment “a person’s insistence on being called doctor is inversely proportional to their value to society”. Too bad that doctor probably doesn’t know what inversely proportional means.

@Horace ROFL. And agree on the Twitter thing.

I wonder if Ms. Dr. Thang lays that tripe on blacks as well.

Yeah, probably. They might even get the expanded version for their sins.

[Mik]

I love that the first responding tweet is by Harambe.

That's it, I've had it. Time to give voice to my idea I've held in secret for way too long.

Time to relinquish my condemnation of censorship in all its forms and sadly concede that the time has come when the glorious freedom of uncensorship has left the barn.

We must mandate -- YES, BY LAW! -- that all socials appoint a Stupidity Moderator. Every post that is submitted must pass muster with the S.M. before it sees the light of day. S/He gets to say, "Pass. Pass. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Pass. Pass -- No, on second thought, Fail." And so on.

Gawd, think of the relief.

You can curate your own feed, though. I never see this kind of stuff unless it's posted here.

Right, but if you're on the platform, you have a responsibility to understand how it works. But, they make it easy because they want people to use it.

You of course also have the option not to be on the platform. Which is completely understandable.

But calling all of Twitter/Facebook/Insta/TikTok/whatever a cesspool when all you know about it is the most ridiculous shit that's shared around would be ignorant.

My sister-in-law lent me her National Trust card once so that I could get free parking at some stately home or other.

I have to say, it felt pretty good to be Doctor for a day.

You're a doctor every day...
