Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Afrika Bambaataa died. May the people he abused heal.

This is disturbing. They talk as if “wokeness” were about words and that MAGA is upset because they can’t say certain things without offending leftist snowflakes. No, bitch. Your exclusionary worldview—your intent behind those words—offends me. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/o...

Maybe I’ve been single this long because I have a father, thank you very much.

Given internet video culture’s fondness for challenges, you know the next frontier in wagering is going to be OnlyFanDuel, right?

The President isn’t crazy, he’s stupid. Those around him aren’t devious, they’re corrupt—and stupid.

Roll 1d4

There’s no way the Easter Bunny’s chocolate is ethically sourced.

But only every other weekend and some holidays

“Daily Wire action film” will forever live rent free in my brain.

Funny, I thought they liked economists.

We learned during quarantine that wypipo don’t always wash their legs in the shower. Did they remember to wash their feet yesterday?

H/t @thebuhler.bsky.social for finding this gem of foreign policy.

With those crow’s feet? 👀

RefWorks can match partial citations to its database in moments. (It can't do things like "format your bibliography properly" but never mind.) The vulnerability to fake cits is one almost completely caused by unwillingness to pay for staff for the journals.

Do not taunt Happy Funball

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the unholy scourge that is "CEO said a thing!" journalism:

Pour one out for another legend www.billboard.com/music/music-...

Productive like coughs

Biologists have known biological sex isn’t as simple as two categories since the 1950s. There are millions of people who don’t fit into those boxes. They are not weird. They are not insignificant. They are not anomalies.

And why should sociology be GenEd? Because it’s our job to make social patterns visible to students. Things are happening in ways that influence all of our lives, whether people see them or not.

It's okay to hate Meta and wish for its collapse and failure. But the two jury verdicts this week are not the vehicle for that. They're going to have widespread impact across the internet, and will do real damage to every other internet service.

Side bar: The hot honey agenda has to be stopped

"For the love of God, Montresor!"

Always been.

Do you think we could stop Joe Rogan by having Khandi Alexander flirt with him?

People get mad when I say fandom/consumption isn’t a personality but I am staring at a bunch of Deathly Hallows tattoos at the store.

Dude, that’s your sister.

Wait a second. You went to one of Parsons’s fiercest critics and said you wanted to revive him—long after functionalism had been discredited for being unable to account for human complexity—and THAT was your villain origin story? You, sir, are a moron. ln.run/Hum2H

My god, this makes so much sense now. Not about Habermas but about Karp - cosmically evil technology wizard and *failed social theorist.* I'm going to have to come back to this and savor it.

Chuck Norris didn’t die, the rest of us lived too long. apnews.com/article/chuc...

Doing systemic racism to eliminate research on systemic racism to make systemic racism easier to hide and deny.

Yup, spot on.

Incels and looksmaxxing are pretty clear pieces of evidence that it was the male gaze that turned upon men, not the female gaze.

In honor of International Women’s Day, this will be my last post today in the hope that women’s voices will have a greater impact upon social media.

Unless somebody’s already gone out of their way to tell them that it’s wrong, weird, or disgusting, kids aren’t going to ask about it. It’ll almost always start with “But you/a trusted adult/someone at school said…”

Wait, do people think the e-ink \price tag\ is how stores are going to charge us more?

I don’t understand how Sen. Sheehy can look anybody in the eye and hasn’t been arrested after what happened.

Periodic reminder that, if I ever give you a Samsung tablet for Christmas, you have wronged me something awful. If I give one to your kid, I may have already blocked you.

Right? I hate vacuuming!

The owner of OnlyFans is the largest donor to AIPAC. We need a digital Lysistrata.

The final season of Severance should be about Gemma, and Mark should be played by Tig Notaro.

Is it smooth or is it a bear? Pick one.

My favorite chapter of The Art of War is “Plans?? who are you, death cab for cutie??”
