a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Oh hey, that's my old post office, ain't she cute?

Stop. Stop, stop, STOP. Make it stop.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

That is wholly unfair to every Asian woman in the Economics program. He needs to step back from teaching as well. No one is trying to ban him from public life. He can still write books. Give guest lectures. Appear on panels. But he should not be in a position of authority over these women.

However bad you think this is gonna be it's not even close to how bad it actually is.

Teachers are living in their cars and there's currently a run on food banks

Forgive me for posting Axios on main

I had a great conversation about this phenomenon with some sociologists at ASA once. A colleague took me to task for failing to see how they KNOW the reference. They aren’t misreading literary references — they are wielding them to demonstrate their power to shape our ethics.

A party that couldn't endorse Mamdani. . . has room for Marjorie Taylor Greene The party can burn in hell

We never acknowledge how masterfully white supremacist billionaires managed to destroy social media as an organizer tool and completely atomized us. Twitter & tiktok had to be sold. Meta already belonged to them and this app here is a poor man's Twitter but coded to prevent educating and organizing

I am sorry, but the first party to take up the banner of anti-corruption and accountability is going to have a hell of an easy time making its case and I honestly don't know why an opposition party isn't doing that already from every streetcorner they can.

Is there a term for when you spend an abnormally long time cooking a meal only to be like, nah, by the time all components are ready

Falling down these stairs would be pretty funny

Holy shit reverse MeToo is wild

“This may be the first publicly documented case of a state [Israel] attempting to shape discourse through generative AI systems such as ChatGPT and Claude - affecting how they frame issues related to Israel.” 11/9/25 www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Funniest thing I have ever read on here. If I ever get arrested by those Brownshirts I promise you I will have this memorized as they drag me off to jail.

This piece makes it sound totally normal that the police gets to decide whether or not to "work with" Mamdani as mayor, and it continues, as nearly all the paper's coverage, to wield normative terms like "moderate" and left" in a prejudicial way. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/n...

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo

ok I only saw the one dumb take but it turns out that was only a warmup

I have never seen anyone so wholly unaware of the world outside of themselves as Tom Nichols. Fortunate to rarely see his takes but each time it brings a shock to see how guys like him ease through this world.

If these people are ever thrown out of power, I hope we all understand there is no reformist pathway for institutions like this as much as Dems might desperately wish and claim there is.

imagine being hit on by gross old Larry Summers when you just wanted professional advice and then finding out he was getting advice on how to hit on you from Jeffrey fucking Epstein one of the grossest things I’ve ever read

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

It seems I accidentally closed my mother window - the keeper of every tab I had open to read since I bought this computer. A little part of me is dead.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

We all know that the Joe camel smirk triple labubu cryptobro will be involved in some capacity in a gory high profile murder but no one knows whether he will be the murderer or the victim

"Dasha got dropped by Gersh," I say to the elerly woman sitting next to me on the bus. "Can you believe that?" She empties an entire can of mace directly into my face instantly.

imagine going through a rough patch financially and u have to cancel your subscription to your mum

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

If Kapoor actually sues over this it will be the first likeable thing he's ever done his entire career.

okay that is kinda funny

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

[mechanic voice] That right there's your problem

the sooner people internalize this about the dems, stop projecting their fantasies on the party, and start demanding more, the better off we’ll all be.

What the fuck - for at least three different reasons - is this?

Article from 2000, but no reason to believe this has changed

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

I was having a hard time focusing on something I was reading in a digital textbook so I tried to turn the volume up on my laptop???

Going by the number of Caplyta commercials Im being served, my data footprints screams severely depressed?
