@mattyglesias In 2020 I was working for the SPLC (I know, I know) and they hosted an employee Q&A on Zoom with this guy. I asked him about Jill Leovy's argument in Ghettocide that underserved communities could benefit from more and better policing and he called the book "unsophisticated" lol

@WashProbs Density and abundant commercial zoning on main thoroughfares.

@DJLouieXIV I certainly don't think it's awards-worthy or anything, but here's my modest defense of it.

Literally wailed through this scene both times I saw this in theaters.

The ending of this very long, very good piece is quite a gut punch. "The Crimes Behind the Seafood You Eat" https://t.co/w1qemqhnpH

One of the bleakest but most clarifying stories I've ever read. The United States is killing itself, literally. https://t.co/VVkfrQIUiE

a proud and performative lack of empathy masquerading as progressivism is a cultural disease

"Living for no one cost me way more than it's worth." (Am I still "on" "Twitter"? Apparently. But expect mostly cryptic music cues from here on out.) https://t.co/aiI1bHtTtI

"I cannot preface my thoughts with 'as a Vietnamese-American woman' credentials, not with a straight face. Of course, everything I think is 'as a Vietnamese-American woman,' but my critical legitimacy derives from elsewhere." Great (and very funny) essay! https://t.co/RZQBsK7a0F

@kikiyates I adored this even though it directly indicts me. (I have a "nhớ" tattoo 🤦‍♂️)

Truly just unbelievably tired of living through this anti-majoritarian horseshit.

[Tim Kennedy @timknndy]

@banjois Yeah, I was a devotee of the Saigon bus system too. It's pretty rough out here in the urban U.S. I genuinely want better lives for these people, and I also genuinely want public transportation to be more pleasant/less dangerous, and those two wants are sometimes in conflict. :(

Tough read. https://t.co/G6KTROR9Em

Every emerging detail makes it worse when you're already convinced it can't possibly get any worse.

The former principal of Columbine High just said something incredibly grim on CNN - he’s part of a network of 29 school principals who had mass shootings at their schools, and they work to support principals of schools where new mass shootings happen

Let's not let all this Oscars drama overshadow a greater truth: CODA sucked.
