A great example of how the @nytimes.com centers white Americans and Trump supporters in its anecdotal political coverage. You never see stories like this about Black Democrats whose cities are cracked in Republican gerrymandering to give them Republican elected officials.
They Wanted a Conservative State. They Might Get a Democratic Representative Instead.
The passage of Proposition 50, which redrew California’s congressional map, means that all of the state’s conservative north is likely to be represented by Democrats.

All the arguments against arming Ukraine on the basis of universal human brotherhood assume, naively, that the present government of Russia is not a foe of universal human brotherhood.
There are many wars other than the class war. I'm pleased people have been able to ignore them, but no longer.

At the end of each year, FDA releases data on antibiotics sold for use in livestock.
It usually changes a few %. This year, it went up 15.8%.
I was shocked & emailed experts/industry groups. Likeliest explanation per a source: industry is not "being good stewards of antibiotics"

@kennytorrella.bsky.social is the only one covering this very important story!
I know Americans really like to eat meat but allowing the meat industry to contribute to the ruin of miracle antibiotics really strikes me as an irrational trade.

This Day in Labor History: December 17, 1953. The National Labor Relations Board ruled in the Livingston Shirt Corporation Case that companies could force workers to sit through anti-union meetings. Let's talk about this horrible ruling and how Eisenhower sucked!

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

I was reading a paper (by a full prof!) that included a paragraph in related work that was completely irrelevant and was there just to cite a bunch of the author's own work. This type of behavior makes me not trust the work of such authors.

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

A 21 y.o. TA keeping it together for the freshmen he was preparing for finals when a gunman burst into the lecture hall.
One had been shot twice in the leg. The TA gave her his hand & told her to squeeze it. “I told her to put all the pain on me. I just kept telling her, ‘You’re going to be okay.’”

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️
