This was an interview with me, posted by Sergio Olmos in late July 2020. It got retweeted by Rachel Maddow, which was validating.

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

I think it's important to recognize they did this exactly to provoke deaths like this. That's why they deployed people here, so they can use it as a justification for escalation. The deaths of these guardsmen were the *goal* of these operations, and they will certainly try to use them.
precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

They love him solely because we hate him, because he has failed the same moral tests they have.

2 cups lentils, 8 cups water. Couple tablespoons of salt. That's your base.
What I usually do is take a pound of ground chorizo, brown that in a pan with a chopped onion, then it goes into the pot along with some frozen spinach. The chorizo does most of the seasoning for you. Cheap and nutritious.

An interesting and informative thread on how women formed part of the basis of Western fandom, which immediately preceded science fiction fandom.
The accepted wisdom is that Hugo Gernsback invented sf fandom in the Science Fiction League & in the pages of AMAZING STORIES, and that (per Wikipedia) “a wide variety of Western modern organized fannish subcultures originated with science fiction fandom.”

Thread. The divide in America isn't by state, it's urban vs. rural; the way our government is shaped creates the illusion of state differences.
a tweet i saw that really opened my third eye said basically that there's no such thing as red states and blue states, there's just states where the big city/ies that everyone else hates are a big enough portion of the population to dominate politics and states where they aren't
I mean, this is the whole problem, isn't it? A party rooted in the liberal, cosmopolitan parts of the country can't win outside of them, but you also can't not have a party rooted in those regions because that's a huge and influential part of the country.
