I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Finally googled this latest batch of meme culture neologisms & now unfortunately know what looksmaxxing is. I’m sorry, brain, I will try to be kinder to you …

oh man I’d forgotten about this. Nice

oh this is very good. Will be especially useful for grading papers

The exact thing that antizionist/non-Zionist Jews have been warning would happen, is happening — thanks to the Israeli government's insistence that Israel, by definition, speaks for world Jewry and that any criticism of Israeli's policies is antisemitism.

This inevitably LEADS to antisemitism.

I have been having the same conversations. Even with comp sci colleagues. I’m here for it

"... pointed guns at ..."

Had a dream I was driving with the fam, made a U-turn & saw a line of cop cars coming toward us so I pulled over. Then they surrounded us, pointed at our heads & verified our IDs. They claimed that I acted scared when I saw them so they had to investigate. So that's where we're at

I love that their "Taking my marbles and going home" move was Kid Rock. It's just, yup ...

White eggs or brown eggs?

What will be appropriate punitive repercussions for his actions, when we are finally able to mete them out?

I thought getting rid of immigrants was supposed to save us money

Comin in with the sugar cuts!

So Zohran endorses Hochul. Totally predictable, still disappointing. Obviously a strategic move. But after also throwing Chi Ossé under the bus, how should we understand his approach? Move up & close the door behind, or ruthless realpolitik? Certainly not prefigurative. Hope the tactics succeed

Yes and … I’ve found there’s as much solidarity as mistrust. In Feb 2017 when Yemeni deli owners shutdown their stores to protest Trump 1.0’s Muslim travel ban, we put up a sign in Crown Heights & got dozens of signatures of support from folks in the neighborhood. (Pic from still early in the day.)

The manifold layers of horror & trauma …

I visited the George Floyd memorial last week & just learned about the shop worker at the Palestinian-owned store who called the cops on him for a counterfeit $20, and had to process their guilt, regret & contrition for that.

Congrats to @akstuhl.bsky.social! It’s been a pleasure watching this develop from a distance. Grateful for all our chances to work together

What!! Amazing. Congrats, Andy!!!

Epstein dump has so many horrors. But one bit of levity is Elon being exposed over & again as the pathetic nebbishy dweeb that he is. Repeatedly begging to get invited to the rape party & getting dissed. Disgusting

I always thought it was considered very insulting

Jose Huerta Chuma is a man in hiding — and he's also a man in distress. He's been replaying the fatal shooting of Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti over and over again in his mind, wondering if he could have done something differently and if there's something that "would have saved that life." The 41-year-old immigrant from Ecuador, who said he has been in the U.S. for over two decades, described witnessing the shooting after hiding inside a local business. The Department of Homeland Security has described Huerta Chuma as a criminal living in the U.S. illegally who was the target of the Border Patrol operation that led to the encounter with Pretti on Saturday, Jan. 24. "I think, maybe if I hadn't gone to that place, or I don't know, a little later or a little earlier, I mean, that never would have happened," Huerta Chuma told CBS News during a phone interview conducted in Spanish.

Just back from a visit to the Twin Cities. All the best & worst of humanity pushing up against each other in one place. So many abstract things became concrete for me, driving past abandoned cars in the street, visiting the memorials. A situation I never imagined seeing in this country.

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place. Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it." With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.

Seems related but apparently misleading

And they didn’t even need an elaborate secret code language about cheese pizza and toppings to talk about it

Sounds like they relocated buses with the ads to lower traffic areas (or just parked them). No mention of routes, so they probably ran other buses on those lines. But I have no inside knowledge here beyond the article ✌🏻
