Black people don’t innately hate anyone, we’re just tired of everyone hating us.

FEI gave Rutgers a 99% chance to beat UMass. The projected margin of victory is 34 points. The Vegas spread is 28 points. UMass leads 24-7 with 3:42 left in the first half. They have not punted yet.

Dolly Parton never spoke up for Israel, for Sudan, for Taiwan, or for any other place other than America And nobody is upset about it nor should they be. But she didn’t go on a unhinged tirade about Gaza, so the progressives are slandering her in death

Someday people will be normal about Jewish people again and a lot of famous people are going to have a bunch of things to apologize for From a pragmatic perspective, even if you’re evil, don’t risk your career over something this stupid

I'm seeing some people ask why the Democratic Party and congressional leaders aren't doing more to challenge Trump's anti-voting executive order. They were literally the first to seek a new injunction after SCOTUS ruled. I know, because I am their lawyer. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

RIP Dolly Parton.

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.

Where was this newfound sense of compassion for Jason Arday? Note, I don't want people to drive Harp to the point of suicide; rather, I want compassion for everyone and for the press and other talking heads to have some introspection and understand their role in all of this.

#ResistanceRoots Mae West was born on this day in 1893 in Brooklyn. She began her career as a child star and found fame as a Hollywood sex symbol. Behind the sashaying hips was a talented writer and independent woman who fought discrimination against African Americans and LGBTQ+ people. /1

Mae West, ca. 1933. In a career that spanned more than seven decades, she became famous for her breezy sexual independence, husky contralto voice and masterfully delivered double entendres. She maintained total artistic control over her career by writing much of her own material, effectively challenging conservative Hollywood norms and redefining womanhood. She refused to back down because she viewed her provocative art as an authentic expression of female sexual agency. She also recognized that moral outrage was the ultimate marketing tool, and turned controversy into a profitable business enterprise. Just as she did with censorship, West viewed racial prejudice as an arbitrary rule meant to restrict freedom. She also employed and defended the LGBTQ+ community at a time when doing so was legally dangerous and socially taboo. Photo credit: Bettmann / Getty Images.

Excellent thread on AI. I agree that AI is just normal technology that has some use cases that can help us do our jobs a little bit faster and maybe a little bit better. I think we need guard rails for it, and I 100% agree that we need to stop glorifying tech bros and other con men.

Granted, it's YouGov, but here is some data on reading. It's not pretty. The median American read two books last year. 67% of Americans read fewer than five books in 2025. 40% read ZERO books last year. yougov.com/en-us/articl...

YouGov bar graph showing 40% of Americans read 0 books in 2025, 27% read 1 to 4 books, 13% read 5 to 9, 9% read 10-19, 6% read 20-49, and 4% read 50 or more.

So 67% of Americans read fewer than five books in 2025.

This Community Shield match is a reminder that most of the preseason matches are about fitness, getting match time for young players, and seeing how different combinations work. And that's why fans shouldn't overreact in either direction. #ARSMNC #FACommunityShield

I went to speak to a children’s literature professor about what I thought was a lighthearted topic: her new book on the politics of Paddington. But as a friend of Jason Arday, she quickly made it clear just how scared academics of colour are today to speak freely thanks to race hate in the UK media

Snipped from a good thread. The reason people don't learn from falling for propaganda is the same reason con artists succeed: people are ashamed to admit they got conned so they don't spread the word about the con. Con artists know their victims will provide cover with their silence.

What should have been an internal matter at Cambridge became an international story led by UK media, driven by right wing agitators on both sides of the pond. And now, this tragedy is the outcome. Rest in peace and power, Jason. Thinking of his wife, his children, and all who loved him tonight.
