I react very poorly when any proposed policy or plan is met with "but what if someone like Trump gets hold of it?? then it would be not good, but very bad" because there really is no law or institution that can work when a population is willing to elect the stupidest, worst asshole alive

So you know previous waves of technological fabulism the tech companies threw a little loose change at social behavioral research and user interface experience. whats interesting about AI interesting is that they aren’t even pretending to care about how people use the technology.

Per ESPN Research: Ravens v. Cowboys was the first game in the Super Bowl era in which both teams kicked a field goal in the last 10 seconds of the fourth quarter.

the hype and presale mania of the renn fest clearly rewards the organizers on days like this, when they have sold lots of tickets and have declared them all unrefundable (since thursday) even though it’s been raining all weekend and they should cancel instead of putting on a mud-logged disaster

obviously not going to be NHJ's focus but it's also worth remarking that going to a "whitopia" school as a white child is bad for your soul. after growing up in "ironic nazi salutes" land you end up in college or the real world and you say and do evil, stupid things that hurt people.

if the ravens lose they deserve it for the sequence where after a long TD drive that tied the game, they go deep on third and 1 without a plan to go for it if it failed (which it did). suddenly you’ve had possession for only 1:36 of the entire fourth quarter

if your career grows out of "i'm the number one person who works to remind U.S. white liberals that school integration was good", giving up on integration for your one child is like declaring the project a failure. something this feature grapples with. the system drains the struggle out of you

It's a paradox, because we on the academic left actually won the culture war. Gen Z understands that the US is structurally racist, that gender is socially constructed, and that capitalism isn't working because of the triumph/mainstreaming of critical humanistic and social scientific knowledge.

White flight suburbanization, which was subsidized by the federal government, drew capital out of Black urban spaces - taking wealth outside of their jurisdictions and making it harder to provide social services. And that speaks to a broader problem facing the left. pod.fo/e/5ebd27

The Democratic Party is fundamentally a pro-civil rights political coalition. This is also why the third way dipshits trying to get Dems to underbus trans folks are idiots at best and wreckers at worst -- a Democratic party that would abandon trans people would simply be worthless

some people on the tennis-fan reddit forums seem particularly happy that zverev won and i don’t think they like him as a player necessarily, they just like that he was accused of abuse. maybe they’re bots idk. it seems stupid reading any of this (online discussion threads whatever the topic) anymore

june 29, 2014, the orioles are losing to tampa 12-4. tommy hunter enters to finish off the top of the 9th and gets three outs on three pitches. ryan flaherty hits a garbage time 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th, final score 12-7.

one of the most fun play calls of the day was a screen pass to henry. gotta keep them worrying about that recipe being in the cookbook, that henry is still on the field even if he doesn’t get handed the ball right away. monken did not really throw to him; he had <20 catches in both ‘24 and ‘25
