"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Tonight I think of all the old men who spent a lifetime screaming to everyone about Russians infiltrating America only to end their lives as ardent defenders of Russia.
A lifetime that is ending with a giant "NEVERMIND!!"

Love this! Congratulations!
Receiving the Ness Book Award is a career highlight, and I'm very grateful.
Even better is that it might help spur more academic leaders to take climate action!

The whole thread is amazing, but this post in particular makes me so happy.
As a bonus, the museum includes THE WORST SHEEP (I love it so much!) which is also the worst artwork I’ve ever seen made and sold by a professional historic artist, which I keep a picture of near my desk as a reminder that sometimes mediocre is, in fact, good enough. 7/?

My quotidian answer is chocolate napolitanas, because that's my special lazy-weekend-morning treat with coffee and the newspaper.
What's your "dopamine hit" food? That food that just gives you that feeling of happiness, contentment and joy, through texture, smell or taste?

This thread, friends, is what the internet is for.
I'm on Amtrak heading from MD -> NY. Dude behind me is complaining that he posted a pic on IG that had over 1K views but no likes or comments.
He just keeps saying "So you mean to tell me a thousand people saw my sh*t but nobody interacted with it? That's just hate."

Excellent thread on how people get drawn into the far right.
Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people.
It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

This skill has inherent value.
But also, if you can’t thoughtfully interpret a text, I’m worried about your ability to interpret a music video, a moment, a news event, a statement or action by yourself or someone else, etc etc. In the absence of critical thinking… well, just look around.

How to critically read a text. This is what the author wrote, here’s one way to interpret what they’re saying and here’s why I think it’s interesting or significant. It’s an invaluable skill. And increasingly rare across different mediums.

Signal-boosting this thread on the importance of the humanities. They're under attack pretty much everywhere, and we will be much the worse for it.
So many smart people seem to believe that higher ed. should be job training, explicitly. The rise in business (undergraduate) majors is one byproduct of such a perspective. And watching universities cut humanities is another.
I find this approach incredibly shortsighted, and ultimately defeating. 🧵

I've just learned that cranberries are not actual berries and GODDAMNIT why are berries so full of lies and deceit, how hard is it to have fruit standards

Also terrifying. I was among those who thought once people suffered from the Republican policies they voted for, they'd be sorry. This suggests that won’t be the case.
This fascinating study would explain why people “vote against their own economic interests”.
One thing I keep hearing is that ppl who voted R in this (and other recent) US election(s) will come to regret it when their SS, medicare, other state assistance goes away.
