For any new readers post-award win (the least involved award win I've ever been a part of; y'all know who the real heroes are...):

1. Free Assange.

2. Don't trust the intelligence community no matter how much identitarian pandering they do.

[Jamal Russell @JsMindvirus]

The real heroes. They did the work, I just rode the coattails afterward.

[Jamal Russell @JsMindvirus]

So I had a thing published in a thing a couple of days ago (it's alright, go read it, there might be a follow up). I only have two things to say to any new readers:

1. Free Assange.

2. Don't trust the intelligence community no matter how much identitarian pandering they do.

Drone assassination, torture, kidnapping, overturning governments, rigging elections, putting down labor movements, cyber-terrorism, illegal domestic surveillance, blackmail, arms delivery — but of course, we need the most progressive hiring practices for those activities.

To upper middle and upper class people (not just whites): Stop doing this.

In rapidly gentrifying Austin newly arrived white residents have been calling the cops on Black and Latino car clubs that have gathered in local parks for decades, labeling them a “toxic display of masculinity.” https://t.co/guYcigpjM0

More journalists have come out in defense of Taylor Lorenz than Julian Assange, who is actually in prison for his journalism

@ranjodhd I wish everyone did this and/or what @epiktistes suggested.

[Jamal Russell @JsMindvirus]

@alanyliu @teddyroland @ryancordell I'm gonna have to get used to this whole "people remembering things you did years ago" thing...

With that said @teddyroland, I actually think about that project more than you realize. Figure it might be useful in the future...somehow.

[Jamal Russell @JsMindvirus]

Not saying I know everything, because I don't, but I'm pretty sure flagrant stupidity does not equal good leadership.

The Provost's Message to the University of Kansas re: COVID bringing students back to campus for in-person instruction is just jaw-dropping. These documents need to be collected & preserved.

[Jamal Russell @JsMindvirus]

The bad news: We're slowly becoming North Korea and we severely botched our COVID response.

The good news: FINALLY finished this freaking chapter.

[Jamal Russell @JsMindvirus]

Somehow horribly embarrassing, impossibly insulting, and deeply corny all at once.

@astrombeck Who needs structural analysis or long histories of ideological shifts, anyway? Surely none of that is the reason why me and thousands of others are on strike right now...

[Jamal Russell @JsMindvirus]

Give us $1 Billion of that.

Trust me, we need it more than you.
