I was wondering when phrenology would be back in. Everything old is new again... eventually.
A new paper suggests a photo can tell a recruiter much about an applicant’s personality
Should facial analysis help determine whom companies hire?

Lol
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

I hope the universe is telling us that cruelty and hatred are losing issues.
57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

That the white pro-Apartheid South African who Sieg Heil-ed is racist is barely news at this point. The question is why are so many gov accounts such as the British one still on X? Musk called for the overthrow of the Labour government and they’re all still using his platform and enriching him
The richest man in the world is an ignorant, demented racist provocateur. Who would have thought

i'm a very biased party here but pretty much everything about the Mamdani campaign and the discourse around it thus far is a pretty thorough vindication of Africana Studies
It is worth saying that putting “Africana studies” in scare quotes as if it’s a ridiculous concept is not a political argument. It’s just racism. “Africa is not worthy of a major” is the implication. Yeah dude you’re just racist. (From Gerard Baker at the WSJ today)

A little bleak insight from a student's perspective for once.
Across Canadian campuses, students are using AI to write essays, summarize readings and even apply for jobs. Here’s how one university student is resisting the temptation to do the same. https://macleans.ca/education/ai-is-ruining-my-education/

Movie tickets don't have business being this expensive these days. For this close to 15 bucks, while I am vaguely entertained, I could use much more comfortable surrounding for that price.

So wonderful to see #EssexHemphill featured in the MTA's Arts & Design "#Poetry in Motion" series! The poem, "Thread," is from *Love Is a Dangerous Word* (@NewDirections, 2025), ed. by Robert Reid-Pharr & yours truly! (h/t photo by Tynan Kogane, ND)
