Indeed, UNC-CH Sociology is hiring again! Check it out and please share. :)

Saturday night is the final one of these ⬇️ and I promise you it is significantly more interesting and engaging than watching Tony Mansolino manage a baseball game 😬

Jen and Siobhan and their 3 awesome kids are some of the kindest, best people ever, and they're moving out of the US as the country gets more and more unsafe for trans people. If you have the means to support their move and help give them a safe landing pad, please do

‼️Right now, +30 orgs are joined by elected officials & fed up NYers to protest ICE’s inhumane actions against our immigrant communities. ICE has unlawfully abducted NYers, as they simply show up to their immigration court hearings. We demand an immediate stop to ICE’s abuses! #ICEOutOfNY

Good news

My representative, @delauro.house.gov , I would like to see you on this list soon. Please and thank you. Signed, A Constituent

Même pas le premier parmi les cons, quel dommage.

The fanfic you didn't know you needed. (Who are we kidding? You know you needed it.)

(1/2) On Wednesday, the biweekly ICE deportation flight to Venezuela diverted while en route from El Paso, TX to Aruba and returned to the U.S., landing near the Everglades detention center.

I'd settle for Ross "Not Just Bad But Possibly The Worst Faith" Doughat not pretending that someone his own paper has called out as Stephen Miller's bestie (www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/u...) is just a folks we should listen to on this topic.

We're not supposed* to be interested in who blocks us on here, but I am and it was validated a while back Got blocked by someone I respect, looked at the person's TL to see if they said something about it; there was a comment that mentioned something I have thought about in my behavior on here.

At least three more immigration judges were terminated today, incl a longtime judge at headquarters who previously served as Air Force JAG for 20+ years. Meanwhile, the gov is asking retired judges to come back as “part-time and intermittent reemployed annuitants.” www.justice.gov/legal-career...

What’s super funny to me about the Hyundai fiasco ? You know what systemic oversight prevents racists from weaponizing their personal grudges into large money destroying catastrophes DEI. Know what theory helped shaped that SPECIFICALLY APPLIED TO LAW Critical Race Theory

A story that the Post both loves and hates to print

Not the same choreo as Footloose. Actually Kenny Ortega, whose earlier work includes directing and choreography for music videos from niche artists like Olivia Newton-John, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, and Madonna. But he also directed the career-killing Billy Squier video for "Rock Me Tonite" 😂

Can I get a COVID booster in New York City, and where? Answers here:

1. Molly Ringwald really had the bored/WTF look down — solid. 2. Toward the end there's a box designed to get your attention marked K-Tel. rofl 3. Cryer's moves look like he was working with the same choreographer as Kevin Bacon in Footloose.

The most telling statistic I have ever hear is that poverty decreased during the pandemic heights because we were just doing direct payments. We basically had a national UBI pilot and ditched it because Biden wanted to restore status quo ante instead of leading a 21st century New Deal transformation

(Not the point, but she was brown-haired when she was obnoxious and portrayed white working class people, but you have to be ash blonde to be her kind of far-right victim. h/t @tressiemcphd.bsky.social for the blondness lesson way back)

Want to signal boost this- this place makes a huge difference, We use all the food and it goes to good use and donations are way down so if you know any local church groups or anyone who can help- even just lunch meat and cheese, we can assemble them. Thank you for helping feed Bmore ❤️❤️

There's a US military themed bot campaign targeted at Blacksky's PDS. If you see these accounts please report them to @blackskyweb.xyz I am proactively monitoring signups for suspicious accounts but some have slipped through. Thank you to the folks who've already reported them We'll suspend ASAP

Ok, we “saved” Jimmy Kimmel. Now can we bring that same energy to migrants, trans people, BIPOC and women? Or are we just reserving that for rich white guys?

10/ Instead of centering men who missed the boat (and still don't seem to get it), let's lift up the work of Paulina Borsook, who saw it all very clearly and tried to warn us 25 years ago. Someone should do a profile of her very interesting life. And hey, let's drop some cash into her GoFundme!

If I lived in his district, I would vote for Chris Rabb. Maybe you live there? Then you could volunteer, donate, and/or vote for him!

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

The best comment agrees about less sexy time and ends with "like what you see in foreign films". Friend, there was a time when they were brought to the US of A in large part to show bourgeois white folks about les oiseaux et les abeilles.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

The prime minister of Denmark has formally apologised for a Danish health programme of forced contraception which for decades systematically implanted coils into young women in Greenland. Read @georgvh.com's article: www.channel4.com/news/denmark...

The world is run by narcissistic egomaniacs because people have higher standards when they choose a gardener than when they choose political representatives. There is no scenario in life where "evil, but less evil" is an acceptable concept except politics. Imagine choosing a less evil babysitter.

Please note that all the outlets now correcting their narrative re: ICE killing Silverio Villegas González since FPPD body cams have been released initially published the DHS statement now proven to be mostly false. There's never any understanding/admission of harm done. They'll just do it again.
