Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Like most Americans, I was relieved to learn the Doomsday Clock has once again sped up, bringing humanity closer to the end of all things and putting us well within reach of the sweet, welcoming silence of extinction.

Listen to this speech from Mark Carney. Forget making Canada the 51st state; I’m ready for the US to be the 11th province.
Read the full transcript of Carney’s speech to World Economic Forum - National | Globalnews.ca
Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a forceful speech in Davos, Switzerland, on the 'new world order' and how middle powers like Canada can benefit by working together.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

I’m currently reading “The Psychopath Test” by Jon Ronson. Within the last year I have read, “Sociopath: A Memoir” by Patric Gagne and “The Psychopath Inside” by James Fallon.
It’s no coincidence that I am trying to learn all I can about psychopathy and sociopathy.

When violence expert Bandy Lee publicly warned that Donald Trump likely presented a danger to the nation’s health, she was ostracized by the psychiatric community.
