Reading books on the train is the life upgrade I didn’t know I needed. I have greater wellbeing with a 40-60 min commute each way than working from home. 📚🚇

Yep. The "Dark Triad" remains stigmatizing, sensationalistic, imprecise, problematic, unscientific, and easily replaceable. It takes me back to the "good" old days of feeblemindness, moral imbecility, and hysterical women.
In our rejoinder, we argue 1) Dark terminology isn't used responsibly as BL et al. claim, 2) the term can be replaced with a more sensible and scientific one, 3) data support our position (Stanton et al., 2025), and 4) popularity ≠ importance. @davidchester.bsky.social @drlynam.bsky.social
The 'Dark Triad' may be popular, but more importantly, it is irresponsible, moralizing, trivializing, and ultimately, replaceable: A rejoinder to Borraz-Leon, Rantala, and Jonason (2025): https://osf.io/u86th

UVA chooses yet again to make additional racism the newest attraction on its already horrifyingly racist Thomas Jefferson theme park “grounds.”

If you are a billionaire governor I don’t think posting ”damn that’s crazy” counts as doing everything in your power
In Illinois, we will do everything within our power to look out for our neighbors, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.

This morning, while @govpritzker.illinois.gov was preaching holy fire against federal immigration agents on social media, IL state police joined feds in arresting protestors at the Broadview ICE facility.
Also: agents set off tear gas a busy Chicago street, and handcuff a Chicago Alder.

We need clear communication with the people.
And if the government won’t meet people’s material needs during this shutdown, the party should.
It’s time to use our resources to help others, not just get candidates elected. More food banks, less fundraising.

Genuinely though, now is the time for Dems to put those funds to use like Kat Abughazaleh did. Not with ads and robocalls but using those funds to support affected workers and families, shoring up food pantries, and making sure their constituents have what they need to get through this.

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

A politician welcoming the feds of any stripe into our cities is the same as welcoming ICE. There is no other way to put it. Very disappointing words to hear in the face of this invasion
"I have been very clear about what we do want. What we do want is civilian law enforcement assistance. We want to make sure that we have enough FBI, ATF DEA on the ground.”
I understand this calculation.
It is the wrong calculation.
Every one of these agencies is being used for immigration.

NEW — “What we're hearing is that they'll be assembled, ready to go on Friday, and that they would begin actions on Saturday,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker told reporters just now, speaking about Trump’s fed deployment.
