That's amazing. Does anyone have an archive link for the tweet instead of a screenshot?

I archived it, but I don't know how to search for it.

if you still have the link you can try to archive it again and it will tell you that another snapshot exists already.

I have no idea what is going on here. Someone who is familiar with the situation posted, assuming everyone else is familiar with the situation too. Dunning-Krueger Effect in action.

It's the professor this article talks about: https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/06/25/white-lives-matter-man-fired-white-lives-dont-matter-prof-promoted/

Dunning-Krueger is something completely different.

Dunning-Krueger is commonly understood to mean that incompetent people are too incompetent to realize they are incompetent. But its lesser-known corollary is that competent people assume everyone else is just as competent as they are, and thus they don't have to explain anything. They can just start talking in the middle and use jargon, insider, slang, etc. Just like here, poster assumes everyone knows who "Cambridge Prof" is.

Not applicable here. Trivia is not knowledge and DK doesn't apply to trivia.

If you look at the previous and subsequent tweets in the thread, you can see that she is quoting an email she received.
