Dad is alive, but was a terrible dad, and I haven’t spoken to since I was 14. I am a dad as well, trying to be better at it than he was. They are both older than 14, and both still talk to (and live with) me.

PSA to fellow white folks: stop doing a “not all white people” in Black folks mentions. That is re-centering. You do not need to do it. It derails. It takes up energy and creates bad vibes. This is not the time for a Racial Absolution Tour. Ring Theory: your SUPPORT goes in to those affected.

Pretzels in ice cream. In central PA this was just a normal thing, any sundae you’d buy came with two pretzels sticks jammed in the side. When I moved away, I realized no one outside the area knew about it - and often reacted with horror, for some reason.

historically, what proportion of world cup group stage games end in draws? asking because I'm sure someone out there knows.

This finally makes sense:

Look I get we all hate the corrupt people in power. Stop calling them "insane", "psychotic", and "psychopaths". They are not and this is incredibly stigmatizing of those that do experience these things. We can hate on terrible people without being ableist and saneist as fuck. It's not that hard.

Yoshonobu Yamamoto is back out for the ninth going for a no-hitter.

A friend made a mix CD of R&B Ladies when my daughter was born - and since it was a burned copy I had no idea who I was listening to for years, but this was a huge favorite from that: music.apple.com/us/album/i-c...

I was delighted to learn, when researching for my new article in @thenation.com, that Black Philadelphians were talkin their shit as early as 1848 (decades before the Constitution explicitly guaranteed birthright citizenship, mind you) and they were right to do so www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This is the article to share. Not that WIRED tripe. Gist: mice injected with long COVID patient antibodies get long COVID. It is an observable biophysical effect.

Both of my children are in year 4 of Long COVID-induced M.E. I would argue the “good chance of recovery” quote. There are no approved treatments, the science is all over the map. It’s a chronic, debilitating condition that may be their entire lives. Wear a mask, you don’t want this life.

Thrasher Mag reminding me what a PITA is was to even try to skate MUNI in late 90’s. Video is really well done, enjoy: youtu.be/pifV4m_70RE?...

Congrats to Felix Rosenqvist for winning the Indy 500! He’s been steadily improving the past few months, and his team pulled a great alternate pit strategy that set him up for a win. The closest win ever in Indy 500 history, 0.023 seconds difference. Just insane!
