On its own website and in its written appeals, USC contends that its faculty are “managerial” and therefore disallowed under federal labor law from unionizing, even though more than a quarter of all higher-ed faculty in the U.S. are in unions. capitalandmain.com/usc-faculty-...

As a professor, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself constantly make references that none of your students understand.

🚥 I am once again asking for stories about MTA bus fare verification in NYC, except now I'm also asking if anyone in California has also experienced this phenomenon. HMU!! [email protected] and Signal at wwimbish.07 🚥

I wrote about how meaty, salty, fatty hot dogs became the food we're all supposed to eat on the hottest days of the year. This one is free for all @weareravenous.com subscribers, just give us your email! www.weareravenous.com/hot-dogs-jul...

It’s not the Mets, but when I’m not watching my team, one of my greatest joys is going to see two okay baseball teams play the in the closest seats to the field I can possibly manage.

VidCon is great because at least five adult men have called me "Prof" or "Teacher" (I didn't teach a class here).

Because people keep assuming that I’m at AAJA, here’s a reminder that I’m actually at VidCon this week in luxurious (lol) Anaheim.

I won't be at this year's AAJA convention because I'll be at VidCon, but here are some cool events for the AAJA programs I co-run. And I'm supporting Frank Bi for President! I'll miss all my AAJA friends, but I'll see you next year.

Spent the day with Team @thelalocalorg.bsky.social and our youth journalists covering the South Korea vs. Mexico watch party in LA’s Seoul International Park!

I, for one, think it's very exciting that every culture-based website is owned by the same conglomerate, definitely not a recipe for disaster.

the only news I care about today: we’re getting Knicks voting stickers on Thursday from today’s newsletter via @clauirizarry.bsky.social: www.thecityreporter.nyc/newsletter/b...

Insane, unhinged thing for the world’s first trillionaire to say “journalists are people I would’ve killed already if I killed people.” Musk gutted USAID & its medical programs last year, leading to estimated 750,000 preventable deaths, per an Oxfam interview: www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/issu...

My apologies to the Reductress, I wasn’t familiar with your game.

Life has been more peaceful since I began treating the week like a 7 game series. I just gotta have 4 good days. You can lose a few games and still win the series yunno.

12 year old me is crying

I'm crying again. NEW YORK KNICKS, NBA CHAMPIONS!! Thinking about my mom and my late grandfather, both long-suffering Knicks fans who last saw them win over 50 years ago. And little me, who cried after the ‘94 and ‘99 NBA Finals losses. Feels good to cry tonight, though. 🥲

lol Mariska literally sprinted from her second show to the Garden www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

My mayor, Muslim My bagel, Jewish My hope, alive Knicks in five

I. Am. Screaming #NBAFinals

I don’t think Knicks fans used enough sage on MSG #NBAFinals

Saging MSG is not an overreaction. That man ruined this. I’m telling you. He brought a dark cloud to the whole damn thing. Hopefully it works

Trump better not be the Knicks' 2026 White Bronco. (See: 1994, www.youtube.com/shorts/m0VRY...)

The streak is over 😭. I blame Trump. But now I can post about and watch the Knicks again. I explain below. Come on, boys, you can do it. 🏀🔵

You are only a real New Yorker if you grew up in the sewers under the city with your Italian-named brothers and were raised by a mutant Japanese rat and trained in the martial arts.

like i said, men in media defending this shit: your women colleagues see what you’re doing and won’t forget.

to be a woman is to want to constantly scream and cry at the same time

USC part-time, adjunct and full-time non-tenure-track faculty have vote to unionize -- forming one of the largest private campus faculty unions in the U.S. But USC is challenging the result, asking the National Labor Relations Board to review the vote. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Oh BY THE WAY: United Faculty-UAW, the union of us non-tenure-track faculty at USC, WON our election last night in a landslide. More details to come, but USC admin is crying to Trump asking his labor board to overturn democracy. It's a scandal. You should be pissed, especially if you're a teacher.

Highly recommend going to see an evening screening of I LOVE BOOSTERS in a theater, then checking social media after to see that USC's non-tenture track faculty union, @unitedfaculty-uaw.bsky.social, won its election. A great feeling. ✊✌️

calirornia voters boldly asked “could we get a governor worse than gavin newsom” and they discovered yes, easily

Me watching the CA and LA election returns tonight

this is the type of shit that was kinda cute back in 2012 but absolutely does not fly anymore. stop treating the fascists like they’re your besties!

“We’ve said it every voter guide: there are no good cops and even fewer good sheriffs”

Over the weekend, I helped celebrate the graduates of the @thelalocalorg.bsky.social Youth Journalism cohorts and got to be a small part of the ceremony. I was a mentor for the Koreatown cohort this academic year and I'm so proud of the community stories they wrote.

I tried to make sense of CA’s 61-candidate governor race the only way I know how www.coyotemedia.org/california-g...

Summer break goal: get away from screens. A lot. Great decision so far, highly recommend!

How is MUNA's "Eastside Girls" not on this list?

OK. Thanks, Google.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

We are so back!! It took three years of persistent emails, but the @aajaofficial.bsky.social Radio & Podcasting affinity group is finally revived and rebooted with me & @elichen.bsky.social as co-directors! Please follow us on IG and stay tuned for more: www.instagram.com/aaja_radio/

Checking in on New York

@nycsanitation.bsky.social I’d like to report a sweep

I've held off on posting about the Knicks because I'm extremely superstitious. Blame my '90s Knicks playoff PTSD. But on Mother's Day, my mom told me all she wanted was the Knicks to win and I said, "Sure, Mom, we'll see." Anyway, now here we are!!!

Every nonpartisan observer: "This game is so over." Every longtime Knicks fan: "Umm...."

New Yorkers, they get the job done.

Everyone else watching OFF CAMPUS: Fake dating! The chemistry! The "hockey" (lol), etc. Me: Wow, the philosophy professor's use of a spinning wheel to randomize students' final oral presentation topics seems a fun clever way to guard against AI use.

You know i was always confused by that scene in return of the jedi where the robots are getting tortured in Jabba’s palace like why would you torture a robot but now that ive experienced a world with ai, yeah, yeah, i would like to put Chatgpt and Claude on The Rack
