💫New research out now!💫

Hutson and colleagues demonstrate that men get hired as faculty in archaeology PhD programs more often than women, putting strain on women PhD mentors. And they have some suggestions about what to do about it, too.

Relieved that my colleagues at MIT are not under further threat from the person who killed Nuno Loureiro but I think I’m still in shock about all of it

For folks curious re the news re gender affirming care for trans youth I wrote a quick summary in the BDNH newsletter

It’s NOT a national ban.

it creates no new civil or criminal penalties, it is a proposal to wield the power of the purse to discriminatorily deny care

So the Trump FBI has let a serial killer get away
December 18, 2025 at 11:45 PM
This article stenographically reports that Trump could delay the implementation of law simply by writing an executive order

That’s illegal actually, even if it’s been the practice

Just remember that the case that ended quotas and began the end of affirmative action, UC v Bakke (1978), started with a white NASA engineer who felt he was entitled to a spot in medical school 🧪
This is from 1989, Claremont McKenna sociologist Fredrick Lynch’s “Invisible Victims: White Males and the Crisis of Affirmative Action”

Same grift almost 40 years old

We would've all forgot about you if you didn't have a huge feature in the biggest newspaper in the country, honey.
At a Coldplay concert in July, Kristin Cabot appeared on the Jumbotron in the arms of her boss. Cabot retreated, trying to make things right with the people who mattered most. Now, for first time since that viral moment, Cabot is sharing her side of the story. trib.al/I8tWdU4

Did people not get jobs because they are white or are deans pinche cowards who lied to candidates about why they didn’t get a job

Well the numbers say white people continue to get jobs at the same comparative rate so I’m gonna have to go with the deans are fucking liars
You’ll never guess who else experienced ‘racism’ on the job market despite their unimpeachable academic credentials.

After I finish writing *The Cosmos is a Black Aesthetic*, maybe I should take a break from giving myself extremely difficult writing projects with a myriad of unsolved discursive challenges in literally every single chapter. Or win the lottery, so I can do this in my favorite hotel.

Nothing like utterly shameless people to make me feel empathy deficient because I cannot understand them at all
U.S. Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) falsely claims that not a single person has gotten cheaper health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

"Find one American that says that their health care is now cheaper today than it was when they passed this disastrous bill. You won't."

I don’t know how it works at the New York Times, but my editors at The Guardian would never let me publish this if they knew that I was one of the elites who spent time with Epstein. And if I published it without telling them, I would be out of a job.

Rep. Beatty is on the Kennedy Center’s board and says she was not allowed to speak out against renaming it.

Also, coincidentally, she has over 67,000 followers on X, yet almost no views on any of her posts.
