I'll give @BradListi a B- on his half-attempt at a Minnesota accent in his intro to this @otherppl conversation with @jryanstradal, but an A+ on the conversation itself. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/epi…
@BradListi @otherppl @jryanstradal As a fellow midwesterner, hearing two midwesterners talk about midwestern-ness makes me feel seen.
@BradListi @otherppl @jryanstradal I'm also learning that my deep enjoyment of @jryanstradal's books puts me in league with 65+ year old Midwestern women. I'm good with that. They are my predominant readers at @ChiTribBooks.
@BradListi @otherppl @jryanstradal @ChiTribBooks Orange roughy! Can't remember the last time I had orange roughy.

Perhaps I'm sensitive to this because of my training and work as a fiction writer, but the use of 3rd person POV close to Trump in the lede of this article has the effect of humanizing his actions. Don't know if this is intentional or not. nytimes.com/2019/08/09/us/…
When I teach narrative writing, we talk more about POV more than anything else. The place where the narrative intelligence rests has a huge impact on how the story is perceived. These are not neutral choices and they must be made with care.
The POV shift in the next two paragraphs winds up giving a very favorable spin to a photo-op that many believe to be "grotesque." By framing it through the uncle, we have a different narrative.

Wow, is this one to look forward to. My internet sleuthing says October.
I watch the video of that debate at least annually. Wrote about how I've used it in class here: insidehighered.com/blogs/educatio…
What a fool that 2012 blogger person was. For sure, Baldwin is correct and won the debate (and Buckley even ultimately renounced his own views), but our norm-shattering President has revealed that debating from a place of values is, I don't know...quaint?

Curious if any WPAs or composition instructors are consulted by their teaching/learning divisions about purchasing tools like Turnitin prior to the choice being made. Do they reach out to the experts on campus?
I get the emails about another tool from Turnitin (or the like) and every time I wonder, "Did they talk to our director of comp. about that?"
I understand that there's some faculty who demand these tools because they think they need them, but there are other ways and people on campus who know what they are.

LONG READS SUNDAY #59.

Stonks down; orangecoin up - is this the new safe haven?

Plus hot regulatory action, news from Binance US, and DeFi & NFTs galore. Strap in, kiddos, it’s long reads time! 👇
2/ The week started with a bang. In response to new US tariffs, China devalued the yuan to its lowest level in more than a decade, leading to the Trump admin labeling them currency manipulators. Stonks cared; honey badger, not so much.
3/ There were a number of explanations for bitcoin’s rise. While some thought “capital flight from China?” @DoveyWan was skeptical.

Listen to me talk abt my career and influencers and what I think of every social platform on Recode Media podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tay…
When @pkafka asked me at the end who to follow I froze up and couldn't think of anyone but @ToxicTikToks and @katienotopoulos, but there are so many other great ppl who cover similar/adjacent things to me. So just made a list of some of them to follow 🙏 twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/l…
@pkafka @ToxicTikToks @katienotopoulos Also one thing I'm glad I got to talk abt on this podcast is something that's been bothering me so much lately which is the idea that anyone is a "perfect" age to cover a beat. Being a good reporter means learning abt things you don't know abt. It doesn't matter how hold u are

1/ Been listening to an excellent podcast, White Lies, about the 1965 killing of James Reeb in Selma by white racist terrorists. The most disturbing thing--and we see it still today--was how unwilling white Selma residents were to acknowledge one of theirs did it...
2/ ...they concocted the most utterly absurd conspiracy theories to pin it on the left. They said Reeb's fellow clergymen, who were with him when he was struck by a club on the head, actually murdered him in the ambulance to the hospital to give the movement a white martyr...
3/ This theory was believed by virtually all of white Selma, and is still believed by folks there today...just as they also (at that time) believed blacks were bombing their own neighborhoods and the 16th St church in Birmingham just to gain sympathy...

”How cities erode gender inequalities: a new theory & evidence from Cambodia”!

This is the most important paper I’ve ever written, the culmination of a decade’s work on social norms, & it’s just been accepted by Gender & Society!!

docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/2e7ace_0cd…
This is the 3rd (maybe 4th?) paper I’ve submitted to Gender & Society!!

All rejected!! 😫

But I kept on trying... 🙇‍♀️

Persevering!! 🐘

And I was especially keen for this paper to be accepted there, hopefully encouraging more studies in this field! 😊🙌🏞🏙
Here's the thing..

Studies of social change typically look at individual- or country-level characteristics

This omits the #places we live in.

In subnational comparisons, we see faster social change in cities.

Why?

And what does it tell us about the drivers of social change?

How do you know whether a film about a historic event is true? Which scenes, lines or characters are real, which invented? Is the underlying narrative accurate? These issues have been handled in an innovative way by the writer of HBO's miniseries "Chernobyl."
I've written before about the achievements of "Chernobyl." But one of its least-heralded attributes is off-screen. Most filmmakers don't want discuss the liberties they take with the historical record, but @clmazin, the writer of "Chernobyl" is telling all.
For each episode there's a companion podcast in which Mazin explains what's real and what's invented, why he chose to make up some things -- and the sources he relied on for his material. It's a remarkably effort in transparency that's rare in Hollywood. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
