El amarillo del jersey de Colombia es el más bonito. Pero su tela esconde un detalle hermoso: unas mariposas amarillas en homenaje a Macondo y, por supuesto, al universo literario de García Marquez.

The conceit that every scholar has a written contribution to make to intellectual history is just that, a conceit. The overwhelming majority, myself included, will make no lasting contribution. Our task is to keep the conversation going. It is to teach.

It is hopeful that emerging talents on left are prioritizing injustices and inequalities that impact the greatest number of people and cut across our differences. Unmasking false, oppressive universalism was needed, but politics in the name of x_particularity no longer works.

This is HALF of the water that the proposed data center in Bessemer, AL would use. #alpolitics
Indianapolis residents have shut down a proposed Google data center. The tech giant wanted to build a massive 500 acre facility, but people got organized and stopped them. The $1 billion data center would've used one million gallons of water a day.

This is one of America’s historically great research universities, being demolished. The obsession with Harvard and the ivies is a distraction from the ongoing destruction of America’s public research universities, once the envy of the world, and the key to the nation’s rise.

I am begging you all to resist Amazon’s book sale that will impact indie book sellers (indie bookstore week is next week) as well as publishers. Please don’t give this money to Bezos.

I've long suspected this but it's strange they would openly admit it. And on St. Patrick's Day!

Today's the 60th anniversary of the APPALACHIAN REGIONAL COMMISSION, a Great Society org that has fought poverty while also occasionally pork-fattening the barons&Babbits of the region. Prime example of an LBJ initiative that might've actually worked better under FDR. – at Glenville, WV

White people with freckles, welcome to the resistance
The Trump admin has placed a ban on Julianne Moore’s children’s book ‘Freckleface Strawberry’ for being related to DEI. It’s about a little girl who dislikes her freckles but eventually learns to live with them when she realizes that she is different ‘just like everybody else’
