niche complaint about some of the coverage of this teenage track star. Framing his result as a "failure" even though he PR'd twice in the biggest races of his life and set U18 records and might still make the relay team.

i almost forgot to re-share this 2021 piece: Sha’Carri Richardson is finally going to the Olympics, but the fact that America's marijuana policy, with all its racist history, is what stopped her remains an injustice www.msnbc.com/opinion/sha-...

Opinion | Weed shouldn't keep Sha'Carri Richardson from the Olympicswww.msnbc.com The Tokyo Olympics would be lessened without Richardson's presence on the track.

It’s absolutely thrilling to get back to your place just a few minutes before it starts POURING rain. And then you get to open the windows and listen to the soothing sounds of people panicking on the street.

they taught it to say "can you unpack that question?"

New version of chatbot reaches level of function where it responds to all queries by making a little twisty-wrist gesture with pinched fingers and saying “But isn’t it more *complicated* than that?”

to add a little more here, it is not that economic anxiety is fake, it is that it cannot be neatly disentangled from racial anxieties. for instance, if you are doing well but see black people doing better, you may feel anxious on account of your internalized idea of what the racial order should be.

i have largely stopped arguing about this on social media because it isn’t fruitful, but this finding gets to why you should be skeptical of theories that try to sideline or excise race from an explanation of the white rural turn toward reactionary politics news.cornell.edu/stories/2024...

Growing rural-urban divide exists only among white Americans | Cornell Chroniclenews.cornell.edu Researchers have found that when it comes to politics, Black and Latino residents of rural America differ far less, if at all, from their urban counterparts than do non-Hispanic white residents.

Everybody should watch this video for a reminder of how deeply engrained racism was in US society within living memory. We have made progress, but you cannot pretend that the scars of this aren't still here. I'd say it should be shown in schools, but I believe a number of states have outlawed that.

Watch Reggie Jackson speak absolute unfiltered truth tonight - I watched it twice. He isn't romanticizing shit - just jaw dropping.

this is very "where were you when livejournal sank?" 😂

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.

finally sent a big email I've spent way too long mulling over. response is going to be something like "sure." or "nah." 😭

imagine this amount of fellowship coming out of dissing you. 😬

Advice to (junior) academics: please keep some web presence updated (website, Google Scholar, etc.). At several points throughout the year, there are opportunities to nominate you for things, and it is helpful in those nomination processes to be able to point to evidence of your awesomeness.
