In an Uber. Driver having loud phone conversation with someone in Spanish. A little annoying, but it happens. He hangs up. Says, “Mi hermano. La Migra.” And starts weeping.

Two question for FIFA (and UEFA) - Will you commit to separation of commercial and regulatory powers? - Will you commit to a needs-based independently audited redistribution model? (Answer: no, they won't because this isn't about reform, it's about power.) www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

The lies MAGA told about Burisma and Hunter Biden are nothing compared to what the Trumps are doing in plain sight, yet none of the people who pretended to care about corruption linked to Burisma have said anything about Trump obviously being bribed by Putin. Trump Russia was always the main story.

Preparing a guest lecture where I get to share my academic concerns and why I do the work I do. For a final slide, I asked ChatGPT to surprise me with an image that condenses me and my work. This is what it came up with. Honestly I'm not mad

An image generated by ChatGPT that is based on what it knows about me and my work. Shows a scholar surrounded by books, and the image is filled with important words like Cities, Mega-Events, Geopolitics, Sustainability, Authoritarianism, Everyday Life, Spatial Justice. It's actually not badly done at all.

Chiming in to add that Zygar knows what he's talking about. A reliable expert source. And the fact that Kremlev made such lavish gifts to the American president's son is hugely problematic. And this is only what we know about! Should be front page news and lead to impeachment. Insane times

Not to be too overly conspiratorial here, but that's an awfully specific number for a photo with the aspiring autocrat. 88 is, predictably, a reference to the 8th letter of the alphabet, so that's HH or Heil Hitler. Very comforting. But I admit I can't puzzle out the 600. Any help?

To folks who think caving on things like “Lake America” doesn’t matter in the long run… It does. It invites more such ego-serving It suggests that there’s no push back. It teaches people to expect more of the same. It matters.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”
