This morning, I attended a free session run by @julieslalonde.bsky.social on street harrassment (specifically on bystander intervention strategies). Nothing I've ever taught is as useful & worthwhile as this. It was extremely well organised, thoughtful, & educational. Bravo & thank you, Ms. Lalonde.

This is exactly what I mean when I say that it is impossible to reduce friction, only to move it around. The text-making-up machine dropped the friction of "research" to zero, but every single person downstream of that "research" who has to act upon it now shoulders a double workload.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

The more important takeaway is that electoral reform matters. The fact that a riding was won by a single vote reveals a critical weakness of the first-past-the-post system. There are voting systems that represent all votes in the larger context without simply ignoring votes for the losing side.

This is how we know the CPC arguments are never in good faith: they bleat about Liberals wasting taxpayer money when it is to their political advantage but they are completely silent when it is the Conservatives wasting our money (& time).

Okay friends. Today I am writing a thread that I have been thinking about for a long, long, long time. It's really, really important. It is also very heavy. Cis people, read this. Look with your eyes open at it. Sit with it. Feel it. Absorb it. Trans people, take care. This is about history. 🧵

🧵I disagree with Jamelle Bouie very rarely, but I do here: Ppl w/ unearned confidence believe their confidence is earned. Mediocre, mid, & otherwise unimpressive white people who oppose DEI actually believe themselves to have been cheated. It's the root of antisemitism, in fact! A thread! Fun!

Since lots of people, including liberals and leftists, seem to struggle with this: COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT IS A WAR CRIME FOR A REASON. IT'S FUCKING EVIL. You don't punish people for the sins of their government or kids for the sins of their parents. And human rights belong to ALL humans.

"Literally grasping at straws" is dead funny as a counter to the embarrassing promise to bring back plastic drinking straws. I enjoy seeing the half-baked ideas of a quasi-literate smarmy creep like Skippy mocked effortlessly by an erudite man of integrity who towers over him intellectually.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

I think if anyone was questioning the value of the CBC (and, frankly, all of the actual journalists who held the line last night and tried to report to viewers in good faith), they got a first-hand demonstration last night of how critically important they are.
