  2. Unexpected in part because never has there been a less likely chant in a street protest. I'll start with the article the words were drawn from. See if you can pick out the chant: The reveal (and video of the chant) is here:

  3. One time, during Occupy Wall Street, a contingent of the protesters gathered on the streets of NYC chanted words from an article I wrote. It was one of the weirdest moments in my career. Hard to believe it was a decade ago.

  4. In your estimation, are there no non-CRTist, only CRTists and anti-CRTists?

  6. I transcend partisanship not through brilliance but by caring more about being intellectually honest in my work than in who wins. This does make me ineffective at securing partisan victories, which I don't care about, but effective at producing trustworthy journalism.

    Maybe it was the meth addicts shouting obscenities at female runners, or the homeless man who defecated on my front step, or the garage break-ins, or the window-smash car break-ins, or watching the LAPD shoot a mentally ill man, but street vendors never bothered me. Priorities!

    Let's say, for the sake of argument, that a subset of antivaxxers and antimaskers are manifesting denial of a thing that would terrify them if they acknowledged it was true. In general, how do you get people in denial to see more clearly?

    That's not to say there's no racist opposition to what people shorthand as CRT. There's some racist opposition to most things. But it's not the core of the controversy.

    It's a straddling of the verbal/written divide that leads SM right there, IMO: the format itself is effectively oral, but the process of carefully (to various extents) crafting the 280 char messages and posting them in full, permanently, creates *illusion* of a written format

    My experience of archaeologists suggests that if, a thousand years from now, they’re digging up the remains of 21st century America, they’ll actually be piecing together broken ceramics, and puzzling over how the Crate & Barrel Culture displaced the earlier Wedgwood Civilization.

    What happened in the Ca Recall … 2) Elder had a case against Newsom. Instead he veered off course & fixated on GOP crowd pleasers - media bias, elex fraud, etc. Rs can win a Base v Base in a purple state - when it really is about max’ing turnout. Not so in deep blue states 2/x
