Barbara Kopple’s films Harlan County USA and American Dream captured labor struggle as it was happening: on picket lines, inside unions, and under pressure. Decades later, both remain some of the finest labor documentaries ever made.

Moment of silence before the Lynx game for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Some Fuck Ice yells after.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

lol, they gave Artemis II astronaut (and Philadelphia sports fan) Christina Koch an astronaut Gritty

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

Hello everybody, I want to believe just as much as anybody else does but I really need to tell you that in my 10+ years of experience as a disinformation expert, the only reason UFO shit gets put out by the government is to distract you from other really bad things

Lynx held a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and Renee Good ahead of the season opener at Target Center:

Lalochezia [lal-uh-KEE-zee-uh] (n.) - The use of vulgar or foul language to relieve stress or pain. Used in a sentence: “Like a linguistic lightning bolt, Lulubelle LaRue let loose lewd lines of lalochezia to lighten the load of life's lingering lamentations.”

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

Her husband wrote an entire book telling people not to go to college like him.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

I would be ok if some of @anneapplebaum.bsky.social’s great books could please become of “merely” historical interest The stories of collaboration and resistance are utterly compelling www.audible.com/pd/B009POL8N...

DID YOU KNOW? The states currently gerrymandering to remove Black political representation are also states that do not have bans on segregation in public accommodations? Once they finally overturn the Civil Rights Act of 1964 they’ll be free to fully live out their racial segregationist fantasies…

IMO a key skill of a good scientist is moving comfortably between the specific & general e.g., relentless in understand the nerdy details of the data (including its coding) WHILE holding onto the big picture of the hypotheses being tested with the data

Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) asks filmmaker David Borenstein if Trump is following Putin’s playbook to try and take over what Americans watch, his answer will stun you. Borenstein says Trump’s takeover is happening faster than what Putin did. Pay attention folks!!

Trump promised his ballroom wouldn’t cost you a penny. Now, Senate Republicans are asking taxpayers to foot a $1 BILLION bill for it.

The approach described by McNutt in these slides IS partisan and political. It‘s changing behavior based not on science—but on how the political parties act. Scientists and scientific institutions should stand up for facts and good science. But this is rejecting those for political reasons.

This is Bhattacharya’s two-step: break everything we have; say it’s in order to replace it with something theoretically better, and shift the conversation to a “reasonable” technocratic discussion on that basis; never actually make the new thing, so all we have is loss and a series of lies about it.

He said repeatedly that NIH-funded grants should seek to influence clinical decisions by providers or patients, and nothing else. An incredible stance from a health economist who spent time in the population health world, and an absolute repudiation of the hopes that he is reachable on that basis.

Um what

How it’s going How it’s going to go

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian dog figurine, a very good boy for some 3,400 years! 🐾🐕❤️ This lovely leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest. The Met 📷 by me #Archaeology

Today I learned that “perpetratorhood” is a word 🧐

He argued to Congress: “Millions of our citizens do not now have a full measure of opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health. Millions do not now have protection or security against the economic effects of sickness.”

A+ no notes

Today is a good day to pitch your local outlet something about the canvas hack. Put TIMELY in the subject line. Describe yourself as an educator in a few lines (two sentence!). Then make an argument.

Time for Dan to drop a new book: “Teaching Effectively Without Canvas”

i was not prepared tbh

There are two higher ed Bluskies right now:

This is a big decision! Mass termination of National Endowment for the Humanities grants (remember DOGE doing this?) "unlawful, unconstitutional... and without legal effect." Terminations violate 1st Amendment & equal protection component of 5th Amendment, "and without statutory authority."

As a Democrat I think its unironically great that the guy Trump put in charge of the FBI is an irresponsible drunk who just wants to be a celebrity and doesn't actually give a fuck about persecuting enemies. That's been great for us, actually

Never thought I’d be delighted that my schools have always been in the blackboard ecosystem ⬇️ but that means I have to continue grading

Took about 20 years. And I never thought a book about enslavers using deputization to give themselves policing power would be relevant to our times. But we are where we are. My book, White Power: Policing American Slavery, is now available for preorder. a.co/d/29c7EIP

Wait I thought this was a canvas post for a sec

The fact that the Republican Party always has legislation to make it harder to vote or to disenfranchise Black people ready to go whenever the Supreme Court takes another whack at the Voting Rights Act tells you...a lot.

A convenient aspect of the Aegean is that you are basically always in sight of land

Have I mentioned that I do not teach this semester 😳

Harvard students lost access to Canvas this afternoon after the cybercriminal group ShinyHunters listed Harvard among thousands of schools allegedly affected by a breach of Canvas’ parent company. Sebastian B. Connolly and Summer E. Rose report. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

A sizeable group of voters simply want an asshole as President. There is no point in trying to cater to them, you can either ignore them or discourage them from voting. Every effort to get their vote by adopting asshole-ish policies is a waste, they want the real thing.

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.

i post this every year because men soaking in toxic masculinity are all “why can’t we get women” and Tom Holland dances in drag and lands one of the hottest women on the planet, maybe there’s a lesson here guys

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

7th Ward Pope is the fuckin best

“HANDS OFF MEMPHIS!” Protestors & Democratic legislators leave the scene of the crime arm in arm, after Tennessee Republicans broke the law to strip Memphis of representation with a racist 9-0 map, drowning out the majority Black city with white power. @GovBillLee
