Texas A&M helped me thrive as a transgender person. Now, it's complicated. A mostly good college experience is hard to square with the school that exists now.

Such a good piece by @kissphoria.bsky.social www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Fair and I mostly agree about today. But we’ve all seen what Solanke is capable of, for example. He was a key part of our play last season and today he basically vanished. I just tend to think issues like this lie somewhere other than “shit players”.

Plenty of us complain about Dragusin and Palhinha. If the intent is to criticize other players too, let’s be specific about who’s underperforming and why. I for one cannot muster something like “everyone is shit” because that’s just not true.

Has anyone counted how many times Richy scored our only goal in a defeat? I feel like the number is high.

imagine not rating Mathys Tel

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

I mean why not, really

completely normal stuff in this email sent to all students

That scoreline looks terrible mostly because of Gray and Palhinha playing out of position. Obviously it hurts but I don’t see reasons to be very mad at anyone in particular.

whatever this is, sign me up!

Luka Modric, no story needed

I mean, some courses are meant to be taught by new hires that will start in the Fall semester. Gonna get really imaginative to comply 😂

Unconfirmed rumor has it that my university will require us to submit Fall syllabi for review before the Spring break, which is the 2nd week of March…

Journal Article Grounded under a Blue Sky: tools for disrupting the peer review process as we know it Purchased by Meredith D Clark Communication, Culture and Critique, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025, Pages 290–291, https://doi.org/10.1093/ccc/tcaf051 Published: 26 December 2025 Abstract This article provides an introduction to a scholarly forum on intersectional approaches to challenging the peer-review process. Developed out of a Blue Sky session at the International Communication Association’s annual conference in 2025, the article and the forum discuss ways to build out of the strength of differences with practical insights that can be adopted throughout the publication process to advance critical scholarship.

Check out our latest forum, "Dismantling the Master's House" featuring essays exploring new directions for peer review of intersectional scholarship.

It kicks off with an introductory essay from Meredith D. Clark, "Grounded Under a Blue Sky." A must read!

Very excited to see this out at @bjpols.bsky.social! In this article, I show that contemporary political news coverage makes it challenging for readers to learn information that is helpful for democratic accountability, even for very politically engaged audiences.

A brief summary:

My question, as ever, is why this should apply to TikTok and China specifically (even without systematic evidence of influence ops) while nothing of this sort is advocated for, you know, any other platforms where we have solid proof of algorithmic manipulation.

Long but detailed thread first about violations of law and then inhumane treatment of immigrants. Ends with how you can support.

yet another anniversary skeet becomes relevant again 🤦‍♂️

Surely this is AI

Let me start: Ange IN

Way too many times in recent history that a Spurs manager would throw other people or the club under the bus, when they are under pressure.

Ange and Poch feel like exceptions now (tho one could say Nuno was likable too).

just wanted to repeat this for no particular reason 🤷‍♂️

I only saw the last 20 and just watched the replay of the Romero red. Not buying it.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I’m intrigued. Let me try this tomorrow

Spurs and Puskas goals, name a better duo
