Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Museuk Insights could certainly use the help!

Close up photo I took of my hand holding a honeycrisp apple slice with a triangle of cabot cheddar cheese on top looking very vaguely like a nigiri (sushi piece on top of rice). The background is a cluttered dining table with a plate with more apple cheese slices, a mostly empty pot of macaroni and cheese and a Cottrell's brewing pint glass half filled with water

Takes me back 60 years.

Nice boat!

nthe late 1980s, the to Service translocated 140 sea otters San Nicolas Island, off Southern California. The intent was to create asecond population that could providesea otters to replenish the mainland rangein the event of a catastrophic oil spill.

The San Nicolas Island sea otters are, I shit you not, our strategic sea otter reserve. www.fws.gov/story/2022-0...

Today I learned that the US has a strategic otter reserve

This is why they invented libraries!

Seems like yesterday.

Today at the swimming pool Vivian (2) told me she was a buoy and said I could only go on one side of her

years 18 to 30 should be spent on a seafaring vessel

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is looking at something on his phone as Green lays on the floor, looking annoyed. Green: I'm booooooored. While Blue is still on his phone, Green sticks his tongue out in response to Blue's suggestion. Blue: Do you want to go on a bike ride? Green: Pleh. As Blue continues browsin his phone, Green blinks at his next suggestion, now alert and interested. Blue: Do you want to see this boat they have on display 13 km from here? A moment later, both foxes are riding their bicycles onward with great speed and excitement. Green: Adventure!

Easy to maintain, too.

Hey speaking as a boat guy it is insanely bad for NOAA to be compromised

Might be a 93. They made the rear window s lightly bigger in that year and also may have improved the rustproofing, resulting in more of them surviving.

Uncertainty has increased more than ever, per FT:
