The best part of this game is Tom Brady boo-hooing about losing to the Giants.

The confluence of late-stage capitalism, the twilight of Empire, and millenarian iconography saturating this spectacle—juxtaposed against this halftime show deserves a WHOLE DISSERTATION

I'm in the middle of re-reading this book by @attackerman.bsky.social and nothing has changed from my initial impression: This is the most lucid, holistic, and well-grounded account of how the post-9/11 security state fractured American society and its institutions. amzn.to/3Vy7JI3

Facebook reminded me of this gem from a dozen years back. I think this may have actually been peak Facebook. Though, far past peak salafi.

TikTok is full of Syrians in Cairo recounting how well they've been treated during their exile along with videos of Egyptians happy for their Syrian brothers and sisters, but reminding them that Egypt is now and will forever be their home. Not since 2011 have I been this proud to be Egyptian 🇪🇬🇸🇾

My wife grew up in Stockholm and befriended many refugees from many countries over the years--including from Syria. I was fortunate to meet many during my visits and scenes like this are so heartening ❤️🇸🇾

Of all the cities that I have yet to visit in the Middle East, Damascus has long been on the top of the list. So many hold the city and its people in their hearts. May there be nothing but peace and prosperity for Syria and all the Syrians far and wide who have suffered for far too long 🤲🏽

Happily seeing more Turkish content here, so wanted to share info on the Zoom writing group I run. I started it as a post-earthquake solidarity group for students/scholars from Turkey and Syria, but we've expanded to MENA. I wrote up my blueprint here: tinyurl.com/mutw3chb. Reach out if interested!

I’m clearly a fan of podcasts (>33K mins played this year) and, in particular, those produced by The Ringer. Shoutout to @thepressbox.bsky.social and @pablo.show — my top two recommendations for anyone that looking for smart but entertaining takes on pop culture.

These "partisanship is a hellava drug" graphs are always fun. While over a longer span, this uno-reverse among White Evangelicals that @prripoll.bsky.social documented in 2016 is still my favorite/the cringiest:
