I think what's more mind bogging is how many people believe AI is superior to themselves and their actual peers.

I IMMEDIATELY went to Google!!

This is so true! I have two best friends who are both ~15 years younger than me and I have close friends who are at least 25 years older than me. It’s amazing.

Imagine turning women‘s big air off for the Super Bowl

A genuine question for those with experience: what’s of more significant value in the upcoming election, working polls or observing polls?

I think this article broke me.

Are We 'Overinvested' in Our Kids? | KQED Sociologist Nina Bandejl argues that the data shows that how we’re doing child-rearing in this country has led to worsening outcomes for parents, kids, and society at large.

Listen: @ninabandelj.bsky.social speaks with @alexis-madrigal.bsky.social for @kqedforum.bsky.social about her new book Overinvested and intensive parenting:

Blame the Intern: On (Not) Breaking into the Creative Economy by Alexandre Frenette Vanderbilt sociology professor Frenette debuts with a clear-eyed examination of how internships can be problematic introductions...

@publisherswkly.bsky.social calls Alexandre Frenette's Blame the Intern "a clear-eyed examination of how internships can be problematic introductions to professional life." Read the full review here:

Congratulations! Such welcome news!

My god. I hope this is true.

You do not critique your father for having a heart

Just imagine how different our lives would be if Democrats reversed violent policies instead of focusing on making them more respectable.

Dems just profoundly unequipped for this moment. It’s maddening beyond measure to see the most ordinary people exhibit incomprehensible bravery and Dems be like “okay but body cams plz, then we’ll be all good.”

I’m currently in day three of drafting and redrafting an email I’m terrified to send. If I tinker long enough it’ll be good, right, right, right?

It's publication day! A different cover, a (slightly) different title, a brand new preface! Happy (second) birthday to The Last Human Job

You’ll feel less confused if you admit to yourself that some people don’t care about the suffering of others, and some people like it.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Bordering on Indifference How a largely Latino/a workforce of immigration agents reconciles the moral ambiguities of its work

Irene Vega wrote a new book called Bordering on Indifference that’s an ethnography of ICE and CBP agents!

You know, "the most widely accepted definition of working class voters" 🫠

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

I’ve largely stayed offline today after ending up in tears a few times yesterday and opening this to see that baby, I can‘t even describe my rage.

The cat, huh?

Just cried on a Zoom call with someone in Minneapolis. My mental health is so good.

Oh, well that couldn't be any more beautifully put. Thank you!

This cancer is stubborn, but new drug regimen shows promise An immunotherapy kept multiple myeloma at bay for over 80 percent of patients in a three-year clinical trial, and the FDA offered an accelerated approval path.

It’s the strangest feeling, reading about breakthroughs that could have cured a loved one who has died of a disease. It’s hard to describe the painful joy I feel thinking about those who won’t know the heartache we almost could have missed.

We only buy appliances now from Dell’s, the Pocatello shop. Things are usually cheaper or comparable — and definitely higher quality. With humans who remember selling you the appliances when you call.
