Since I’m here now, an intro:

Insufferable nerd with a BA in Underwater Basketweaving and a PhD in Underwater Basket Literature.

I love: tv, dramatic arts, crosswords, Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac, mid-10s SVU, Tick Tick Boom, your dogs, the Mets, and stress cooking.

Folks, two things can true at the same time.

These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.
National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

Thanksgiving came early for hatemongers, nativists, and bigots who will use this to be anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim but never have a word to say when shooters and terrorists are white men.

"It's hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.

But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.
How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

A guy makes ONE tiny mistake (has a years-long friendship with the world's worst sex trafficker; brags about sexually harassing colleagues; is racist; says women are stupid) and his whole LIFE is blown up (does slightly fewer speaking engagements; keeps teaching at #1 university)??!?!?!?!?!
So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.

Here's the email for Sunday Morning. I just sent one, and I hope you will, too. And if anyone can connect me with fellow IU alum Jane Pauley, I'd appreciate it. And so will all the other women in sports he's terrorized for the last 10 years.

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.

It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.

And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

I'm Jewish, I was born in New York City. My grandparents were immigrants from Europe. My grandfather opened a kosher dairy restaurant in lower Manhattan. Jonathan Greenblatt from the ADL is a bigot who doesn't speak for me. Congratulations, Mayor Mamdani!
