this was the best answer I could find (source: web.archive.org/web/20180429...)

I mean, there's an obvious answer, but I would like to know for real.

How did Georgia end up with "John Brown's Body" as the tune of its fight song?

Ugh.

Prolific Nashville folk singer-songwriter Todd Snider has died at age 59.

The rot-fueled sinkhole at the center of white evangelicalism continues to grow wider. Putting Olasky in charge of Christianity Today is real nasty work, and entirely consistent with evangelicalism’s 30-year trajectory

A beautiful reflection on All Saints' Day by @karenswallowprior.bsky.social.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Overall, younger generations are much more liberal in their racial policy attitudes than older generations. If at least a significant portion of this is a cohort and not an age effect, the public overall may continue to liberalize on these matters.

there’s a verse near the very end of the Bible that says anyone who adds new words to it will have an equal amount of torments added to their time in hell.

We're grateful that the court intervened to stop the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful attempt at political extortion and trampling of the First Amendment. In America, there is no king, and we're always happy to give the president an emphatic reminder of what democracy looks like.

This seems to be a common misconception. *There is nowhere to go* for most faculty & staff. The academic labor market is incredibly inflexible even in good times, we haven't been in good times for decades, and we're now in a *contracting* phase, not expanding. For most people, there's nowhere to go.

YES.

I refuse to link to something like this, but the Olivia Nuzzi glam blonde puffery posing as journalism on the display page of the nation's leading newspaper is a self-indictment.

New malaria drug GanLum cured more than 99% of malaria cases in a late-stage study. It may also be able to prevent the spread of drug resistance, a growing threat in sub-Saharan Africa.

It's increasingly clear that these people portray immigrants, LGBT folks, and trans people as creepy predators who prey on women and children because they themselves are creepy predators who prety on women and children.

Mock the Junior League all you want, but those ladies know how to run a meeting. They taught me how to get it done, on time, and shut down distractions in real time. One of my most valuable skills.

I attended a meeting yesterday and it reminded me that every single organizer needs to get training on how to facilitate meetings. Truly. You lose more people through terrible meeting facilitation than I can express.

lol of course they're losing the gerrmander wars via election/legislatures and now they have to go to SCOTUS for help.

I was part of a Baylor alumni group that worked really hard to get Ken Starr & other Baylor leaders removed from positions of power in 2015-16. We succeeded, even as many of our classmates & families said we were overreacting. Never felt so vindicated.

hey this happened to me and @jessicawluther.com too! here’s kenneth starr complaining about our reporting on baylor in an excerpt from his book that he sent to jeffrey epstein for some reason

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Whenever Ken Starr returns to the news, it's fun to remember that one deputy investigating Bill Clinton (and Vice Foster) was ... Brett Kavanaugh! Extra fun to remember that GWBush FL Recount team in 2000 included Brett K, J Roberts, AC Barrett. Plus help from FL gov Jeb Bush. Good times!

I would be utterly thrilled to rid the Democratic Party of everyone who was pals with Jeffrey fucking Epstein why exactly would I want a child abuser to make government policy

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.
