Update: That monkey is a menace (complimentary)

Pregame show at Monkey King, SF Opera

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Me: NOOOOOO THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS Also me: Dinklage as Columbo? ... OK I'm not dismissing it out of hand

Criminal. Also: Why didn't any other news orgs do this

Not that anyone has any free brain space to focus on the future of the Republic this morning. But I put together this short piece on how to figure out which Senators should be purged from Congress. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-s...

good God yes

The world is back to being trash but at least dinner (mapo tofu and garlic pea shoots) came out ok last night

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Explains many things

Also pouring one out for Rosalind Franklin

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This is gonna be the Velvet Underground of future American journalism

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse

Early vote numbers in NYC paint a picture of an electorate I don’t think anyone could have predicted.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

There's a lot of discussion about how tech has changed math and math ed, but the most revolutionary tech always gets shortchanged: YouTube, Wikipedia, MathOverflow, and now vertical video

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

It must be so difficult to write for The Onion these days

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

TRUTH

16, though without the Joint Meetings it would be 9

an amazing triple bank shot of a joke

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Nice to see some good news for a change

LOL this is why tenure exists

well this kicks ass www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Updating my LEGO White House

I'm so angry. I'm angry at everyone who voted for this. I'm angry at Marc Benioff running his mouth. I'm angry that this beautiful, diverse, incredible place that I live is seen as something scary or threatening.

I knew about this but I am Old (in college at the time) Non-humble brag: my upstairs dorm neighbor was friends with him so I got to meet him back when he was playing (large) clubs, nice guy, kinda shy/nerdy

No Kings really did something! thehill.com/homenews/sen... (I shouldn't be surprised that centrists were going to cave, but there it is. No wonder Trump refuses to negotiate....)

christ almighty what is this guy doing www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just another normal morning in higher ed with Canvas and AWS down (was going to post a gif here but Tenor is down, so imagine the Simpsons "Fire! Fire! Fire!" gif)

Morning after update: I was not *nearly* as excited as everyone around me, the screaming was like seeing-the-Beatles loud

Waiting for the Crazy Ex Girlfriend reunion show to start I'M JUST A LITTLE EXCITED

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

As @billmckibben.bsky.social pointed out on @maddow.msnbc.com last night, our old hometown of Lexington, Massachusetts was the site of the very FIRST No Kings protest—in 1775. 🤨

[Exit King.]

I don’t know how to sum up this moment in time in America, but here goes: I hung out with a frog protesting the brutal, fascist ICE facility in my community while listening to Public Enemy

This is such a thoughtful thread from Brittany Packnett Cunningham about No Kings. (I'm not tagging her on purpose—some of y'all don't act right.) www.threads.com/@mspackyetti...
