If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000. Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts. Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age. Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts. Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations. The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

I know there’s been a lot of nostalgia for the 90s but I don’t think the part people were desperate to go back to was the Clinton blowjob jokes

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Black and white photograph of six-year-old Ruby Bridges, wearing a dark dress and white cardigan and carrying a School bag, accompanied by three FBI agents in dark suits.

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

That makes perfect sense to me. French strategy in 1939 was greatly informed by their shortage of fighting-age men; Vietnam was not that much later, and Algeria would have been fought by the grandsons of those men who died in the chalk or clay of northeastern France.

Upon reflection, I appreciate the Pats’ uniforms, but I don’t like them; they’re just too dull. They need to be more - I mean, it’s football - they need to be more aggressive. They’re just gray.

So, uhh, we’re pro-proliferation now, eh

Part of what makes multi-member districts so interesting is that we’d only need to get a law passed to make them happen

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

NYT had details of Trump's engagement with Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking and *hid it for him*, at the same time it was crucifying Clinton as untrustworthy due to her document retention & security.

Jesus, famously never putting his time or effort into helping sinners and the fallen.

UPDATE — Here are the at least 10 congressional Democrats, 5 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Ohhh no here it comes

I’ve got to say, I’m not enjoying A Field in England. I thought psychedelic psychological horror would be my thing, but the only way the subtext could be more made text is if it was printed on the screen in gold Futura.

Feels a lot better to have just traded away Jahmyr Gibbs, figuring I could make it the rest of the way with Josh Jacobs and Kyren Williams, now that we saw that TD.

Either the Democrat party is responsible for the shutdown, and therefore can basically take nothing to reopen - in which case every Democrat Senator should resign; or they’ve let history’s most powerless and dumb Quislings run the show - in which case every Democrat Senator should resign.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Nooo stop liking/retweeting this, @musingsofaraven.bsky.social is right

I should know better, unfortunately (in this limited situation) you’re right

“Recall Elections for Democratic Senators” in the style of a Mamdani sign

Why wait?

Ahh, so the House Democrats are my friend!

I will give my time and money to any recall campaign for any Democrat who votes to reopen, regardless of it passes the House.
