Fellow professors, if you're teaching an introductory course in graduate school, set aside some class time early in the semester for students to discuss their transition to your program. You'll find that they're struggling far more than you probably realized. You won't be able to solve all their problems, but opening space for them to voice their issues is more powerful than you can imagine.

That Trump gig really has not panned out well for Giuliani. It's back to court for old Rudy. His legacy and life are effectively destroyed.

Black leaders nail #RonDeSantis' #racist ass to the wall for creating the climate of bigotry and hatred that made the Jacksonville mass shooting inevitable, while the spox of his rapidly tanking campaign claims the shooting has been "politicized." https://apnews.com/article/jacksonville-desantis-racist-republican-shooting-haley-scott-9bba89577ae8d0571e1d19b6a947fef5?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=gnews&utm_campaign=CDAqDwgAKgcICjCE7s4BMOH0KDCvi8AC&utm_content=rundown

Notes to the folks who are scared that Trump's trial(s) will lead to violence by the white supremacists:
The white supremacists want you to be scared, and the white supremacists have already been violent on Trump's behalf.
Fuck the white supremacists. Fuck being scared.

@scalzi I love that they thought they were seizing control of the culture after Bud Light and Target flinched only to find out nope. Even their new favourite singer is disavowing them.

“Portions of these manifestos detail the shooter's disgusting ideology of hate. This shooting was racially motivated and he hated black people.”

Excellent piece on the Michael Oher story. "White savior syndrome" is very strong in RW Evangelical circles, which describes the Tuohy family. When this movie came out I was writing for CCM magazines, and one of my editors asked me to do a story on the film, which I declined. The story they wanted was one about how a rich white Christian family saved a troubled black kid and wouldn't that just solve all of our problems if more rich, white Christian families did the same?
