I've just remembered that today is the feast day of St. Bartholomew, who allegedly preached the Gospel in Parthia (Armenia) before going all the way to India. (Tradition has it that he was flayed to death.) This means that today is also the 454th anniversary of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.

I am so heartbroken for Jason Arday and for his family. He was clearly a troubled soul who needed help, not being relentlessly pursued by white supremacists in the press. Now he's dead and the anti-DEI contingent will not stop targeting scholars of color.

I really like Starfleet Academy. I think it is astonishingly well done. One of my fav aspects: it celebrates the arts and music the way that Next Generation did. This episode structured by Thornton Wilder's Our Town is really very well done.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.
A screenshot of People Over Papers’ ICE reporting map. The map resets at 4 am ET every day. In Minnesota, over 100 reports have been filed today, with the overwhelming majority in and around the Twin Cities. 

Stay safe. Fuck ICE.
