This is an awesome idea as long as nobody on the upper floors gets old.

“Culver City becomes first California city to allow six-story apartment buildings with just one staircase, a move to ease housing construction and affordability. Single staircases reclaim 7% of space for actual homes while creating wider units with better light—and fitting on smaller urban parcels.”

I see this “If there’s money for a parade, there’s money for Medicaid!” slogan, and, while I appreciate the sentiment, logically it feels equivalent to “If you can afford a pet, you can afford a jet!”

These are precisely the times when it is most important to share the gummi bears with others.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · Mar 14

Yeah, but I think university policy could address that. Like it could formalize that a 2 hour exam slot means an exam that reasonably could be expected to be finished by most students in less than 1 hour.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · Mar 14

If trends continue, it won’t be that long until the proportion of students with disability accommodations at schools like Stanford passes 50%. I feel like when it does the school should just shift to formally assuming the most common accommodations are universal.

If you have a loved one and a PS5, I cannot recommend Split Fiction highly enough if you want a fun distraction from everything else. (Does not require significant thumb capital to play successfully.)

The opposite. The US President forced Canada to take part of the US that was all toxic waste.

Sure, a lot of bad stuff going on so it’s fortunate that I’m still riding this high from a couple days ago.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · Mar 6

Huh. I’ve had two that I can recall done by my host as part of the intro for talks I have given. (One was in Canada, tho.)

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · Mar 6

Thanks. They’ve also seemed commonplace at local theater performances here in the Bay Area.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · Mar 6

“Three or four land acknowledgements in ten years”? Huh. Is that others’ experience? Whether Bay Area or academia, I certainly have experienced them far more than that.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · Mar 6

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

Elissa Slotkin told Tim Alberta why her response to Trump's joint address did not touch on a laundry list of priorities from various advocacy groups.

None of this would seem a revolutionary approach to rhetoric. Still, it was fraught with risk all the same: Democrats “have been on their heels since the election,” Slotkin told me, and the party faithful have been agitating since January 20 for someone, anyone, to stand up to Trump. The announcement of Slotkin had already been met with grumbling from progressives online; anything short of oratorical firebolts would confirm the complacent, feckless approach of the D.C. governing class.

Slotkin viewed the stakes somewhat differently: This speech could, at least symbolically, commence a new chapter of Democratic Party opposition to a president whose success is inextricable from the tone-deaf ineptitude of Democratic Party opposition. If her team’s resistance to Trump’s first term was marked by hysteria and hashtags—all the land acknowledgments and pronoun policing and intersectionality initiatives—Slotkin saw last night the opportunity to set a different tone.
