Who bets #Amazon releases the biggest sale of the year week from March 7-14? My guess is definitely certainly they will.

A lot of the news media's underdoing and the opening of defamation lawsuits against them in the US actually go back to an interesting legal case: Hulk Hogan v. Gawker. This case opened up many interesting legal and political spaces. #America #WWE #Media #Trump #Freespeech

I’m starting to think just as people mean different things by ‘equality’ (e.g, resources, power, treatment), we are starting to mean something different by ‘diversity’. So much of its value is being reduced to race, gender and hiring policies. But it’s that and much more!

It is really amazing how most of the sourced and cited news stories today are behind paywalls while the humbug stories are floating around free.

The #Trump admin is really acting at a ‘blitzkrieg’ speed, and pursuing its ‘shock and awe’ plans. The underlying military tactics are hard to ignore.

The Banality of Caste open.substack.com/pub/dalitame.... This is a great and thoughtful piece on caste and the banality of its evil. Fitting piece in light of this weeks Holocaust remembrance even if the example differs on the outside.

www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p... This is also a good reminder that public servants are accountable and can be held responsible to the public they serve while private billionaires are not. He can (and definitely shouldn’t) do it but silly to think the same rules apply to public officials.

One of those sad days when scholarship on state crimes and imperialism feels painfully relevant. My article, "Economic Sanctions as State Crime: Empire, Law, and the US’ Economic Warfare in Latin America," about to come out in the BJS coincides with the US's imposition of sanctions on Colombia

www.bbc.com/news/article.... The last two sentences of this article read: "It makes exceptions only for emergency food aid and for military funding for Israel and Egypt. The leaked memo's contents have been confirmed by the BBC." This is a good reminder to always read past the headlines!

The Cathexis of extreme democrats & republicans on social media is seriously fascinating. They spend their energy and nearly their entire day thinking and obsessing over the same person/object. It’s like someone who despises, say, Arabs (or whomever) and just thinks about us all day and night #freud

One difference between European and American football is the franchise nature of the latter. An American team can sell and move cities and keep the same name (e.g, Rams). The same could not be done with, say, Liverpool FC or Manchester City. These are anchored to the city itself.
