Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Students, every year, in evaluations: We liked that he had us take handwritten notes in lecture. I could focus better.
College administrators: You kids want some AI? How about a second computer? What if the walls were also screens?

This is also the greatest gift college professors in the humanities could receive.
I think the greatest gift college professors in the humanities can give to students right now is a seminar room where, for 80 minutes twice a week, nothing that happens to them is a sales pitch for an AI product.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

When I say that all music is political, this is the kind of thing I mean. Our listening habits—mine included!—are shaped by the forces of culture and capital we can’t always see for ourselves. And there is no separating culture and capital from politics.
Moreover, I think a lot of people don’t understand the degree to which ongoing cultural segregation was fostered by the segregation in the music industry, from live performances to segregated radio stations and on through to genre categories, which are marketing terms that became identity markers
The degree to which many white Americans live in cultural segregation is underappreciated, I think. You might say Bad Bunny's music isn't aimed at a white audience, but that's what I mean. Black and brown Americans are familiar with white artists; this purposeful insularity only goes one way.

Understanding society is dangerous to reactionaries selling racial animus & crushing austerity, while enriching the rich
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.
Great work everyone.

Hey just a philosopher noting that the original academic meaning of “performative” is that words aren’t just symbols but DO things in the world.

Video rolling in of pretty massive airstrikes across Venezuela, plus low-flying helicopters which *appear* to be American.

I am so grateful to share a community with this incredibly fierce warrior woman. The MAGAts in our city will feel no shame, but I hope the fence sitters, and those, like the mayor, who decided doing the right thing was too costly, feel at least a shred of embarrassment at how empty of values you are
