The most annoying academics on twitter
-
I think it's weird, but who knows. I wouldn't want to hire someone who constantly whines and humble brags on Twitter. Do people think this makes you more likely to be hired? It's obnoxious. In this case I have to believe he keeps doing it because he thinks it will signal something?
What's worse, the humble brags (it's important to normalize failure, so I wanted to let you all know I only received four of the five grants I applied for) or the banal platitudes (don't forget to practice self-care today)?

that sob “teaches” one course every spring at hopkins and probably gets paid twice what tt faculty do. what a joke.
Yes, but if that's the case, the joke is certainly not on him!
The joke is on the institution of higher education that purports to be educating its students.

A tiny few academics on Twitter post interesting studies, job and funding ads, etc. The vast majority live streamthe minutiae of their lives, their “hot takes” no one asked for, their grievances (hoo boy is this one annoying), and their general pettiness. In short, to be an academic on Twitter is to be an awful person. My personal favorites are the virtue signals who are borderline sociopaths in real life. There are many.

A collection of JH's greatest hits:
"Am I the only one who does [ordinary thing that everyone does]?"
"You know what academia needs? [Thing that academia absolutely does not need.]"
"Ugh, I can't believe my paper got rejected for [justifiable reason]."
[10 minutes later]
"I'm sharing this because it's important to normalize failure.""Wow! New working paper shows [thing liberals like is good]."
"Gosh, I just can't believe that my overwhelmingly conservative church is overwhelmingly conservative."
