Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

This is really fucking creepy.
a Republican witness in the GOP's "Somali Scammers" hearing details how he drives by childcare centers and looks at how many footprints in the snow there are to determine how many kids are there. Psycho stuff.

Here is a better angle of this sign. I originally received this from a friend, but it came from the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The people ICE murdered were peaceful. This is empty. Just like her soul.

The folks at Harvard who work in and with Yiddish are good people and you can feel good about where your support goes with this.
Meanwhile, across the pond, Yiddish at Harvard is in dire straits. You can read about a campaign to support Yiddish at Harvard and instructors facing time caps here. 4/4

USHMM has so many incredible scholars working there who understand the nuances of genocide, the true meaning of never again, and the mandate for Holocaust education. The recent statements from the museum undermine their incredible work.

A horrible person had a really bad day and is somewhere being mad about it and we are allowed to enjoy it. More bad days for worse people still to look forward to.

He can also blame other world leaders for “forcing” his tiny hands. He’s the bank robber telling the teller, “Give me what I want and no one will get hurt.”
Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

I haven’t (and most likely won’t) watch the recently released video but I swear I can hear that “fucking bitch” in my head clear as day. The snarling hate and disgust. Every woman has heard it.

We committed a crime today in Venezuela. On top of the other crimes we’ve committed in attacking boats. When the general public came around to the fact that Iraq did not have WMDs, the discourse shifted to needing to remove Saddam from power because he was a dictator. This is that. Whether or not

L.A. Confidential and Carol are my Christmas 1952 double feature.
Films I always watch this time of year:

- Star Wars
- Die Hard
- Gremlins
- Batman (any and all)

What are yours?

UNC should maintain these centers because it is the right thing to do, but historians will also note that these centers across the US were founded for national security reasons in order to produce scholars, officers, and policymakers knowledgeable about the world. They weakened a country today.
This is absolutely catastrophic for research in the humanities and social sciences. Not only are these centers crucial sources of the limited research funding we have as grad students, but they have been interdisciplinary intellectual homes for so many of us at UNC. dailytarheel.com/article/a4ee...
