Sure, lots of great work on NJ.
The most significant struggle over race, housing and suburbia in New Jersey took place in Mount Laurel. Two good texts: amazon.com/Our-Town-Race-… amazon.com/Climbing-Mount…
Liz Cohen's Consumers' Republic has a lot of amazing material on her hometown of Newark and the surrounding suburbs in northern NJ. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/29448/a-…
Howard Gillette's book on Camden is terrific: upenn.edu/pennpress/book…
My colleague Alison Isenberg, meanwhile, is part of a fantastic project tracking changes in Trenton: thetrentonproject.com
And @BryantSimon's Boardwalk of Dreams -- on Atlantic City -- is an absolute must-read. amazon.com/Boardwalk-Drea…

Hell, let's do this again.

1. Barry White
2. KISS
3. Jay-Z
4. Smashing Pumpkins
5. David Bowie
6. Beck

Jay-Z is the lie. Painful, because I had a friend offer me a ticket for the famous 2003 "farewell" concert at Madison Square Garden and I couldn't make it.

Saw Barry White in the early 1990s -- outdoor amphitheater, backup singers wheeled out in giant champagne glasses. /1
Saw KISS in the mid-90s on a kitschy reunion tour, in Albany.

I've seen the Pumpkins a half dozen times, including Lollapalooza and the Mellon Collie tour (at the glorious Fox Theater in Atlanta)

I caught Beck at the legendary Hiro Ballroom show -- just a few hundred folks. /2

Imagine how frustrating life would be if you didn't understand how jokes work.
For those who didn't see it, this is the joke that he's having so much trouble with.
My mentions are now filled with his followers, who are somehow even worse at this than he is.

I may have misread @RadioFreeTom here, but I liked the tweet because I thought it reaffirmed that the banks caused the housing crisis. If Tom meant it the other way, he should've used a colon.
But whatever the case, @LOLBeReasonable, I'll like whatever the hell I want to like.

And if you're not only going to review the tweets I like but then call me out for ones you disapprove of in a tut-tutting tweet of your own, then I'll go ahead and block you.
For what I'd like to believe is the last time, let me note that this is my personal Twitter feed, which I do for free and on my free time.

Don't tell me what to write about (or not), who to follow (or not), and definitely what to "like" (or not). Jesus Christ.

The Mueller Report: a response from a lowly woman.

I will be adding to this thread as I read.

About me, in the old days I worked for a criminal defense attorney and federal magistrate and did a lot of legal research as an assistant, not a lawyer.

I am 53, and permanently...
...disabled. I also struggle with cognitive issues as a result of my disability. So my reading is slow.

I live below the poverty level and require a caregiver daily.

BUT I VOTE.

I am disabled and I vote.

I am poor and I vote.

I have chronic pain I treat with pain meds...
...and medical marijuana as well as other alternatives and I VOTE!

I cannot get out to the polls but I vote by absentee ballot.

I cannot do much in this life but I love my country and I VOTE!

So this is where I'm coming from, just so you know.

When I vote, I look at ...

Over 300 French dignitaries and stars have signed a manifesto denouncing a "new #AntiSemitism" marked by "Islamist radicalisation" after a string of killings of Jews, to be published in Le Figaro newspaper

timesofisrael.com/300-french-per… (via @TimesofIsrael)

#AntiSemitisme #Judeophobia
The country’s half-a-million-plus Jewish community is the largest in Europe but has been hit by a wave of emigration to Israel in the past two decades, partly due to the emergence of virulent #AntiSemitism in predominantly immigrant neighborhoods.
“In our recent history, 11 Jews have been assassinated — and some tortured — by radical Islamists because they were Jewish,” the declaration said.

The murders referenced reach as far back as 2006.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.

Every day next few days I'll share one #depression/#anxiety insight from my own experience. If it helps anyone a wee bit, it'll be worth it.
1. "#Happiness" can scare #anxiety patients. In our heads, things are always going wrong. Fear of a "happy" moment undone is doubly painful.
Sorry, this won't be a daily affair as I had earlier imagined. But here's insight #2 based on my brush with #depression/#anxiety.
