I grew up loving the NYTimes. I was so happy and excited and proud when my first article appeared in it years ago.

To watch it devolve into whatever it is today is just surreal.

today I remembered that I saw Morgan Spector in the terrific Gregory Mosher-directed revival of A View From the Bridge in 2010 and learned that he’s married to Rebecca Hall.

Scholars of literature and/or popular culture:

Trying to find some reading on post-19th century representations of race and sentimentalism in literature and popular culture

Anything good come across your purview?

an incredible and game-changing scene from In the Heat of the Night [d. Jewison, 1967]

Trump desperately wants reporters to stop talking about Epstein and instead pivot to things like Coke with real cane sugar. With that in mind, here is our Times taste test of Coke with real cane sugar.

Never gets old

😂✊🏾

Correct.

I’ve heard of that. Thanks!

Hivemind:

I need to do some quick research on US railroad history—mainly on the actual building of it and, as a corollary, the racial dynamics of that building (in terms of construction actors and geography, specifically.)

Good books or articles you know of?

Thanks!

First of all, Brooks helped make 45/47

Second, please stop with the “pseudo-“

Thank you!

Can anyone tell me what tweet 47 did that in response to? Thanks.

Okay brotha, so what’s the plan? Is there one?

There are no WHITE Dem Stephen Millers.
If y’all would listen to Black activists, we’d get somewhere

I’m sure the guy who cheated at golf, marriage, business, taxes, insurance claims, and elections will provide us with 100% accurate jobs’ numbers after handpicking a new crony.

We are officially living in the dumbest timeline, where the Emperor has no clothes, but if you tell him, you're fired.

Just got through week 1 and the HoH vote for week 2. I’ll try! haha

Just starting BB27 after bingeing seasons 21, 23, 24, and 26 for this research (and rekindling my fandom in the process), I’m not sure I can sit through weeks of Ashley hate. After Taylor and Kemi, I’m not sure I can stand it. #BB27 #bbsky

Wow. From what little I could make out from this mush mouth, it’s only going to get worse.

President Donald Trump continued his Profit-Off-The-Presidency World Tour this week with a stop in Scotland, where he opened a new private golf course.

You, dear taxpayer, footed the bill for most of the trip.

Quite often.

I updated the app a little while after posting and it looks like it works now? Try that?

For some reason since Thursday, I get notifications that aren’t there when I go to check them. Friday it happened 5 times. Yesterday, 4. This morning, 8.

Anyone experience that? Should I message someone?

Thanks.

If you’re a former cop or prosecutor & your allegiance to Trump has you buying into this recasting of Maxwell, a prolific trafficker & rapist, into a victim, you have some soul searching to do about your political choices.

The DNC is launching a digital ad campaign pressuring the GOP to release the Epstein files — targeting vulnerable Republicans in their home districts.

Whether it’s a MAGA supporter assassinating a Minnesota state senator or a MAGA supporter attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, political violence has come—if not technically, at least in a broad sense—from both sides. The weary American public asks Democrats to tone down their angry rhetoric.

Yo man when I get back to Ann Arbor I wanna buy you lunch or coffee and pick your brain haha
