Never in a million years could you have convinced 12 year old Catholic me that one day the president would be calling the Pope and the Church too radically left wing

Sorry but the KATSEYE girlies whispering “the only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing” after the line “I kinda know nothing just like Socrates” in their new single is peak camp I don’t care that it’s 2:11 of brain rot beats and lyrics

- these kids haven’t given up, and they are still proud to be Americans, despite what the opposition would have one believe. these are people who still believe in an America for all people, and a country whose immigrants and diversity make it stronger. Truly warms my cynical heart.

There are hundreds of school kids and teenagers at the busiest intersection in Palo Alto today with signs and music and cheers protesting the current situation in Minnesota and more broadly. While there’s much to comment on, perhaps most striking is the number of American flags

Just so I’m clear on our current foreign policy… we’re threatening Norway with invasion of Greenland (which he keeps calling Iceland), a Danish constituency, because the opposition of the now-deposed Venezuelan leader won the Nobel Peace Prize over Trump, who calls Azerbaijan “Aberbaiban”?

So far my experience actually writing up my dissertation has been a lot of finding creative ways to say “I got distracted by this curious thing in the data and decided to follow that lead”

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.

The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.

It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.
