Hey @theatlantic.com thanks for at least hyperlinking mine and @gnrosenberg.bsky.social piece that says the exact same thing from 3 years ago. Oh, wait, you didn't.

There is no scientific evidence for any meaningful climate benefits of "grass-fed" beef, as many people, including myself and @gnrosenberg.bsky.social, have long been saying. This news study in PNAS further strengthens this point. newrepublic.com/article/1637...

I'm just a humble food policy scholar, but I submit to you the idea that a robust regulatory state is far better for population health than fries cooked in beef tallow.

Proud to have signed this with a whole lot of other historians! "Letter on the National Park Service Modifications to the National Stonewall Monument Web" Pageshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1qHqQix_XkmiXVb6dclAPQNMSElDuIMsqV3gUN_Byxxo/edit?tab=t.0

Letter on the National Park Service Modifications to the Stonewall National Monument Web Pages, signed by LGBTQ+ historians and authors, including Jonathan Ned Katz, John D'Emilio, Jack Halberstam, Marc Stein and Hugh Ryan.

I signed this along with 351 other scholars in response to the NPS erasing Queer and Trans folx from the Stonewall Monument Webpage. Full letter can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

300+ leading historians and scholars of gender and sexuality respond to Trump admin's removal of references to transgender people from the National Stonewall Monument. This action " is unfounded in historical fact and distorts the legacy" of Stonewall. shorturl.at/ljOYW

There are no good-faith anti-trans arguments. If your pride or legitimacy rests on a denial of the realities of history, it's time to find new sources of pride and legitimacy.

I signed because indeed, removing references to trans people at Stonewall "is unfounded in historical fact and distorts the legacy" of Stonewall.

Such an honor to lend my name to this letter alongside so many folks I admire and respect. Many thanks to @gnrosenberg.bsky.social, Margot Canaday, Kevin Mumford, Emily Hobson, and Marc Stein for writing such a powerful letter. 🗃

Feed the People! manuscript revised and sent back to press. Should now exist in physical form at some point in the next 10-12 months with Basic Books. @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social and I wrote a book and it's a tour de force, must read, game-changer.

Just completed Dune: Prophecy, and observing that, contra claims of "woke" media, popular narratives are now often conservative in their messages, it's notable that HBO is single-handedly trying to restore the deeply reactionary ancient trope of the poisonous bastard.

oh hell yes

I got my eye on you

"If the Rich Fool had a wealth of resources but little knowledge and less wisdom, the Race Scientist had an abundance of credentials and...a ruthless obsession with biology as the basis for human inequalities...both believed it was their inborn destiny to be great men."

You can go back a century and read letters between a rich fool like WED Stokes and an educated (but sinister) race scientist like Charles Davenport and Davenport says similar about danger of selecting for single trait that misshapes total organism. bearistotle.substack.com/p/the-rich-f...

wait how do you tell how many people have blocked you lol??

*The AI Detector* Professor: I read your essay. Student: And? P: Bad! It was written by a robot! S: How do you know? P: Someone told me. S: Who? [P mutters unintelligibly] S: ??? P: A robot told me. [Student shakes head and walks away, prof melts into goo and catches fire, emitting a stench]

Twitter was such a cute lil way to workshop fun jokes with new friends until it accidentally melted into a thanatopolitical Muskian deathcult that drove everyone using it insane

Growing up in Indianapolis, local papers always had an inferiority complex about the city's image so I'm imagining headlines rn like “One of the Insurance Industry's Hottest CEOs was Just Assassinated in NYC. Here are 10 of Indy's CEOs who Haven’t Even Been Targeted!”

I’m sorry but Eric Adams : the shooter’s name :: george rr Martin : the winds of winter

It will probably surprise people who only know me for my writings about animal agriculture, but I find most consequentialist philosophy intellectually trivial. I’m not a Kantian either (sorry!) but at least I respect the game.

The content of this Douthat column aside, this is trash writing. “The Musk America needs…” construction makes it sound like an entity called “The Musk America” needs something. Make it “America needs Musk to be…” Was this shit even edited?

Judi Dench says her pet parrot calls her a “slut.”

I would just like to say that this website has a severe deficiency of shitposters

Using trivial language slip-ups to reinforce social hierarchy? What an absurd idea! Yet that's the *best* critique of "wokeness" coming from Ahmari's camp, that it's essentially moralized manners used to shield incumbents! Alas Ahmari is too stupid to see he's ridiculing his own best argument.

I dunno, Scottie, fantasizing about grabbing titles with a sweaty, fit young Musk may be a bit sus Accidentally creating homoerotic art by trying to shamelessly flatter irl gross powerful dudes is part of the Western tradition! Why do you think all the statues of Roman emperors made them look buff?

Again: The problem is Biden is not going far enough! Self pardon. Pardon Trump. Pardon Don Jr. Pardon Menendez. Pardon Gaetz. Pardon Musk. Pardon Drake. Blanket pardons for all Americans for all crimes for the past 30 years. No questions asked. Get weird and keep it rolling!

Maybe Biden is trying to troll the country into eliminating the pardon power? If so, I think he should go hog-wild and pardon himself and Trump. Get loose! Get weird! It would put Trump in hilariously awkward position of trying to both criticize and defend Biden's obvious abuse of pardon power.

The old world (Twitter) is dying, and the new world (Bluesky) struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters (my posts have terrible engagement on both platforms).

egads

money lol

After only three months of dedicated training I have pushed my 5k time down to 20:25, only a hair’s breadth from end-of-the-year goal of getting back under 20:00. Time to celebrate with Emmy’s Squared like the filthy animal (bear) that I am.

posting from my phone cuz I typed in "louis prima che la luna techno remix" in spotify on my laptop and it caught on fire for some reason

actually murder is the most intimate act you can physically do with somebody

proud of noah smith for finally coming out as a trotskyite socialist (with a twist of georgism!)

The thing about Trump is that he makes explicit and visible all the corruption that his followers believe (only sometimes correctly) is implicit and invisible. They love this because it confirms how they think the world works, even though the world didn't used to work this way.

unpopular opinion: louis prima's che la luna is a hell of a bop

No. This has never happened. I only emit a soft purring sound whensoever my hip-joints move, something like a moon bear's whisper, that is accompanied by the scent of lilac and a salty tang in the air.

I should have -500 followers.

I’m getting intel that there was serious lib “banana art” discourse at Thanksgivings this year even without Twitter. Outrage! Shock! Nature is healing.

currently my only good bsky content, begging for the repost 🥹🙏 the people must know I've still got THE (turkey) JUICE

The thing I find odd about this bit of the discourse is that Yglesias has explicitly written that social media/tech firms that harvest consumer attention are the equivalent of working for other vice-peddling companies and that tech workers should do other, less malignant things for jobs.
