🍦 Jerry Greenfield Resigns from Ben & Jerry’s Greenfield announced he is stepping down after 47 years, saying he can no longer stay “in good conscience.”

HAPPENING SOON!!!!!!!! FIRST STOP JITTERS and whole lot of nerves. Send me thoughts prayers and good vibes!

Feels like a good historical juncture for Bluesky to allow users to make their content “private.”

Right winger who literally only liked Charlie Kirk because of how racist he was: "racist?? I can't believe you'd say that! He was the least racist person ever. In fact, he should be considered a civil rights leader."

Israel’s Culture Minister Miki Zohar announced the government will freeze funding for the Ophir Awards – Israel’s top film prize – after it named The Sea (Hebrew: HaYam) Best Film.

Talking the federal role in higher ed policy tonight and I made these for my students. Gaze in wonder at the institutions in the top 10 for research R&D expenditures from 2014-2023. On the left is their rank over time and the right is total expenditures in billions. (Still not a data scientist.)

I would like to report that the kids do not know Daniel Bedingfield, Gotta Get Through This. But now I have introduced it to them & it can be their anthem for when they need it. Still slaps! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgV4...

Does Randy Andy understand irony or no

Yall you’re just gonna have to hire a 27 year old who can write . Not one makes you comfortable but one who can just write and isn’t from the coasts If you want to talk about radicalization in Utah you’ll probably want a member of that age group FROM UTAH

Today was all about data wrangling and exploratory analyses between meetings because one of my reference managers had a server outage. I'm one big step closer to having an analysis plan for this paper, and I'll be able to finish these other papers once the ref manager server issue is resolved.

🇺🇳 UN Gaza Update | September 17, 2025 ▪️ Mass Displacement: Nearly 40,000 fled Gaza City since Monday, bringing total displacements since mid-August to 200,000 – many women, children, and elderly walking for hours. ▪️ Hospital Strike: Rantisi Children’s Hospital was hit multiple times overnight...

I'm just giggling because I got rejected for a fellowship because I was too "chronically online" and the online sociology etc didn't matter ( well at least from a Black woman's perspective if se wasn't trying to be an academic or pundit but just build better communities) now we all wanna know!

it's just absolutely silly to say that "Dems" don't back Mamdani. certain dipshit Dems don't. that's it.

I would have been acting unusual… this is for the best

Absolutely. Reproductive justice includes people who want to have healthy pregnancies.

I’ve been thinking about my psychology prof in undergrad who used to work in prisons. once in class he said he trusted a lot of murderers over the guards because “some people have it coming.” I’m not saying I agree. I’m just saying it’s always stuck with me.

UPDATE—21 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide. Ro Khanna: "I agree with the UN commission's heartbreaking finding that there is a genocide in Gaza. What matters is what we do about it—stop military sales that are being used to kill civilians and recognize a Palestinian state."

My self esteem in these would be unstoppable

It’s hurting me more 😭

This was before my time so I didn't know that about Cass.

Definitely the inspo for the Ewok hood. I do so love imagining dudes running around north of Hadrian’s wall rocking this absolute textile banger.

This is essentially the same thing that happened during the Red Scare in the ‘50s. How long before teachers are required to sign loyalty oaths? How many more people’s lives have to be destroyed before we’re tired of “rooting out” undesirables?

🤬 this 🤬. Israeli directors have been on the forefront of Israeli society in highlighting the violence & realities of the Occupation. Govt funding for the arts has made this possible, for Israeli audiences & foreign ones to see. This is not unexpected but it still sucks.

I lusted after these boots in my heart… that’s why God allowed them to be sold out

When Biden finally fucking dies I'm going to be much more insensitive and hostile than I ever was about Charlie Kirk, because he was objectively more murderous and destructive. And when I do, right wingers won't be shrieking at me about how evil it is to speak ill of the dead.

Just to clarify this was not me

please read this alt text yall lol

I thought the Internet knew not to tell people how to mourn. It happened with Queen Elizabeth, it happened with Henry Kissinger, and it happened with Chuck E. Cheese. It always backfires.

“My wife” is doing alot of work here. He always refers to her as Michelle. “Michelle and I,” “The First Lady and I,” etc. “My wife” is for deep emphasis.

Reading the demands that Kawhi & Uncle Dennis were making and yeah I’m starting to think Team USA asked him to leave during the Olympics because he asked for Guam.

Who says history doesn't rock? Teaching the history of the Philistines tomorrow, so you know that we will be doing some slinging lessons in class. Although much later, I do love this depiction of a slinger from Trajan's column. 🪨

Once again! Why do we have to reach across the aisle to understand them? They've made their point very clearly for a full decade.

Again annoyed that the Charlottesville police attach mugshots to media releases about arrests. (Releases are distributed widely via email, not just to media.) Charges against those arrested haven't been proven. They're innocent until they are. But circulating mugshots is a form of punishment.

I hate having to explain data stuff to people at work because sometimes people ask for things and dont understand the level of chaos it takes to backend code that shit. It doesn’t have to make sense to you. It has to make sense to US LMAO

The funny thing about DEI is that using it isn't actually that great for Black women ..... it just makes a system transparent enough that the problems that folks will allow as long as they target Black women can't grow

...the thing that is kicking me in the face while I work on a page ..... The Trump administration punishes veterans now. If you have served in the military they work harder to keep you from things materially

Goodnight from Gus Oldfield, adding another last orders line to a face which has already seen alcohol map the terrors of working at the Haldane Abattoir. Goodnight from Susie Maze, raking a bonefire of her ex-boyfriends possessions as a form of exorcism. Goodnight from Hookland.

Legendary British musician Brian Eno, who helped organize and produce the Together for Palestine benefit concert, performs the poem “Oh Rascal Children of Gaza.” Written by Palestinian poet Khaled Juma during Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza, the poem mourns the 550 children killed that summer...

Today, the Israeli army again ordered residents to leave Gaza City within 48 hours, directing them to move south via a temporary corridor along Salah ad-Din road – the main route through the center of the Strip. Thousands continue to flee amid active hostilities...

A Black content creator asked a few days ago, "What happened to the ol' regular Republicans?" And honestly? Honestly? I get it now. Because this shit???

@mrjamesob.bsky.social opined today that Sir Keir is playing a blinder with the Trump visit. I’m inclined to agree. The royals are also playing one. Trump might as well be in prison - yes all the fancy trappings, but no adoring crowds, no public processions, no fawning press. He looks so bored 😂

🇵🇸“On this land there are reasons to live— This land, the lady of lands. The motherland of beginnings, the motherland of all ends. She was known as Palestine. She forevermore will be known as Palestine.” - Actor Benedict Cumberbatch, reciting Darwish's On This Land at Together for Palestine benefit.

I saw pumpkin spice in my super market and almost turned into Caitlin, the Autumn Christian white woman. "Kiss Me" by Sixpence was magically playing over the speakers. I had the sudden urge to go put on boots and get Starbucks.

Day 4 Sumo reactions: Atamifuji vs Hiradoumi match of the day Oho flipping earth on Aonishiki was shocking! Kotozakura made Tamawashi do that thing from Looney Tunes where they run off a cliff but hit like 3 horizontal steps in the air before falling. HAKUOHOOO! Three undefeateds in Juryo division!

The poem is by Mahmoud Darwish (1941–2008), one of the Arab world’s most influential poets and essayists. Born in the Galilee village of al-Birweh, which was depopulated in 1948, Darwish became known for writing about identity, dispossession, and life under occupation.

⭕️ Internet and telephone services are facing severe outages after Israeli attacks on main network lines in northern Gaza, according to the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission. At least 80 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza so far today...

Professor at my phd program once asked me to debate him about affirmative action "in front of the university." I politely declined. I keep thinking about that and how odd it was.
