They are KILLING IT with these campaign ads.

NESN needs to secure Lou Merloni as color analyst. He’s great. He’s ours. He gets it and us. He even manages to make O’Brien more tolerable. A great part of this turn-it-around season. Framingham Kid FTW! Red Sox postseason, here we go!

My bran autocorrected it to Poland. I thought the troops must be about Ukraine? Bc how could the president be sending his department of war to Portland. My brain couldn’t even let me read it that way. Every single thing is more dumb and terrible and hateful than the last.

There are very real things wrong w the worlds but watching a game w playoff implications as natl broadcast is annoying enough. But Apple has no score box on the screen? The count? The score? Pitch count?! But rbi probability?!?! Losing my mind.

Sat and so here for this all women production team tonight for the @redsox.com on NESN. Announcers, photographers, directors. Women in front of and behind the camera! In art and sports!

In response to White House staffer Stephen Miller’s comments, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said: “If we wanted a white supremacist’s opinion, we’d ask. But we don’t. So we won’t. Also, Minneapolis is great.”

The delight in the hatred, racism, anti-blackness is staggering. Not only not hiding it, actively delighting in it.

Thinking about what it is to work with and for younger generations. This is the work and fight of the latter half of my life and career.

I think everyone I’m connected to up here in this blue sky eats this opinion for breakfast lunch and dinner BUT, yes! More discussion forever on college majors being the subject or field through which we learn.

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

Not the point of this important post, but just another of the ongoing moments I’m so fucking glad to no longer work for an institution with buildings named after Ben Tillman and Strom Thurmond.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

few things go down as smoothly as hating on anything Yankees. Your strikeout sound is an ad jingle? You HAVE a strikeout sound? Why is there a loud groaning whale?

Coming for higher ed, academic freedom, critical thinking, all of us. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/22/m...

Why are we calling their hateful bill beautiful. It’s not the worst part of it I know but using the language they use which is about controlling thought and the narrative regardless of efficacy makes me nuts. At the very least don’t call it that.

Straight steal of home! Even on tv it is crazy thrilling. Saturday, I feel ALIVE!!! Let’s do some laundry.

Freaky Tales and mock duck bulgolgi take out from local vegan place. Die Nazi scum is the vibe.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

For class discussion.

Disappeared for thoughts expressed in an OpEd. In the school paper. We need to openly talk w our colleagues about plans to protect all of our students.

Uzo forever. Oh she’s so great. And the ever delightful Randall Park! Imagine HOW delightful this must be to make thinking about the White House right now pleasurable. With my favorite moral of any story: shut up and listen to smart black women.

Have I Already Watched This British Murder Show Or Is It Just Starring Nicola Walker: the title of my sabbatical.

I know the Kennedy Center fight seems a sideshow. But the performing arts are one of the most unionized sectors of the US economy. This is a front in the regime's war on labor.

Colman Domingo is a magic person. I will watch him work in anything. But Sing Sing. Sing Sing.

Libraries, the arts, universities. A free press. Thought as radical political act. Critical, free thinking. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/18/m...

We resist through our own passions for the world we choose. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Janelle Monae makes my tongue swell. Holy what. Electric.

It's a lot. So find your people and find your inner Tank Girl.

“nuestra sangre tiene los resistentes negros convertidos en esclavos por ustedes.”

This goes hard

I ordered from Ezri! I’m so taken by trans kids knowing strangers showed up to support them, even for cookies. I hope they all feel any small amount of support.

It really is sad how true and evergreen this is.

I am not seeing enough Dave Parker sledgehammer coverage. He swung a SLEDGEHAMMER in the on deck circle. Seared into my memory. I gotta have a sledgehammer in cooperstown. #mlb

Insomnia and my dog is downstairs. Torture reigns this night.

One of the best things ever written about how the Super Bowl has long been used to reinforce the U.S. war machine abcnews.go.com/Sports/whitn...

Winter Glossary. Acedia: a melancholic sluggishness of mind/body Clinomania: a desire to stay in bed Apricity: the warmth of the sun on a cold day Latibulize: to retire into a den, or hole, & lie dormant for the winter Abibliophobia: the fear of running out of reading material

I find Colman Domingo so mesmerizing I almost didn’t hate Mister. Of COURSE I hated Mister. But almost.

Choreography leads the aesthetic in The Color Purple. The way it crafts the silhouette, the shape of the tone of the storytelling! Thinking about scope of music video to full length musical… & I lovelovelove Marcus Gardley as playwright. Would love to hear/read about the writing of the screenplay.

Waiting for my flight to Boston. I love tiny terminal 2 at msp. LOVE. However, there is NARY A DECORATION to be seen! I want garland on pillars! Trees! Wreaths! I want Home for the Holidays piped in on repeat! I miss very few things about the South. But the poinsettia tree at CLT was a delight!

The ACKNOWLEDGMENTS? Congressional inquiry? For a…cliche? Did she say “done is better than good” too? And by uttering it she stole unoriginal thought? How black women suffer any of us for any single moment I have no damn idea.
