I hate that we discourage earnestness in people. Everyone wants to appear nonchalant and unfazed. You're supposed to fear cringiness at all costs, everything's supposed to be a joke. This lady is honestly just exhibiting basic empathy...

They didn’t post it on Twitter so I’m posting it here because this is one of my favorite @LouisvilleMBB videos ever

Hiding likes has revealed how entirely unmoored my beliefs are. No sense of cohesion. I am liking things and then hours later liking quote tweets dunking on the very same thread. Not sure I even believe things at all anymore.

Not enough adults are understanding that they have to create moments of happiness in their lives. Find things to be excited about. Create plans to look forward to. Decorate the house during holidays. Make a playlist you only listen to on Tuesdays. Keep your favorite snacks stocked in case of a bad day. You have more control over your joy than you think.

FYI.
@dsa_louisville scores what I believe is their first ever electoral win in #Louisville with member @JPLyninger, who will likely be seated on Metro Council next year given how heavily Democratic #LouDistrict6 is currently.
A write-in candidate is also a longshot.
All precincts reporting for Louisville Metro Council races! Here are the results.

All Metro Council incumbents have won their primaries except District 6’s Phillip Baker who has been beaten by DSA-endorsed @JPLyninger.
In D4, Ken Herndon rises above huge field.

One thing that became abundantly clear in our reporting: City leaders and residents are going to have to decide between giving more tax $ to TARC or a SUBSTANTIALLY worse public transit system.

I agree that viewpoint diversity matters. Political polarization isn't just bad for our country, it's bad for our ideas. We exist in ideologically frictionless siloes, quarantined within different segments of institutions where bad ideas find no resistance, only accelerant. 8/

I've been thinking about "viewpoint diversity" in media and academia for a while, most recently because of yesterday's NPR story. The problem isn't an absence of viewpoint diversity, but the presence of viewpoint stratification or viewpoint siloing within elite institutions. 🧵

Always use Arabic figures for dates, without st, nd, rd or th.
For example: We're offering an early-bird discount on AP Stylebook Online through April 8, not April 8th.
