Time for the smokey meats feast
Pupdate: smokey meats were acquired; all is well with the squad
By the way, the Beaumont BBQ Rub I used is *fantastic*, and part of the Black Smoke bundle from @SavorySpiceShop, which includes the fascinating book by @soulfoodscholar Highly recommend both the spices and the book. savoryspiceshop.com/blacksmoke
(@Ijustlivehere99 and I lived in Beaumont for a few years, so learning more about the Black bbq tradition around there and using recipes it inspired has been really really cool)

Strongly disagree with the way the @chronicle framed this headline. What "cost" her tenure was the Right-wing outrage machine and its hysterical refusal to even acknowledge racism exists. The Project itself won a Pulitzer, for crissakes.
I mean, here's the very next article in the newsletter, with one of the same co-authors! This is exactly what happened with UNC: the Board--packed full of right-wing zealots--was the entity that denied the tenure portion of NH-J's offer. Let's assign agency where it belongs!
Full disclosure: I write for the @chronicle (my editor probably wishes it was more regularly 🙂). I've worked with many of their reporters and editors, and every single one is an absolute pro. That's why I'm disappointed here-a bad hed choice undermines the good journalism within

I've now seen Matty Y, Calipers Sullivan, and Conor F. all weigh in on the UNC/Hannah-Jones issue and I swear to god these people are living breathing proof that white male mediocrity has way too much of a platform
I mean, Friedersdorf literally said, "I don't know if it was a political decision." Mind you, a member of the actual board said, and I quote, "politics" was the reason for the rejection of the tenure offer. For someone who treats higher ed like he does, this naive pose is a joke.
Literally two minutes of research would've kept ol' Conor from showing his ass on the internet, but he's so sure his glib assessment was correct because the case is about a Black woman, and he is a Thought Leader™ after all

Oh my god I hope Pillar is ok.
Ugh. That was...not good. Glad he could walk off
I had my nose broken by a headbutt from a large drunken redneck, and once I got over the initial shock and realized I was bleeding etc, it hurt like fuck. My entire head felt like it was underneath a pallet of bricks. I can only imagine how a 94 mph fastball felt.

The f**king cops in this area, I swear.
On a related note: At least once a day, I stop at 1 of the convenience stores around town (Diet Pepsi addiction) Last summer I began to count the cops I saw inside who were masked (city had a mandate then). From then until now: TWO. And I guarantee I saw cops over 100 times.
Like, there were big signs on the doors-"You must wear a mask inside-required by city ordinance"-and the cops would just be in there maskless, getting their free sodas or coffee. This may seem like a petty grudge, but I think it's really telling re the attitudes of most LEOs here

Just heard from the Browns...if Yoshi's still there at 26 they're taking him. Can't resist the combination of size and agility. Gonna step right in and start at Left Beef.
They're gonna have to wait a bit to talk to his agent though. She's...busy
Welp, the Browns went another direction. They said it was because they didn't have a big enough helmet for Yoshi, but I think LuLu's demand for a signing bonus paid in beefs, with unlimited access to the surf-n-turf buffet for her, may have scared them off

There. Is. No. Constitutional. Prohibition. On. DC. Statehood. These are bad-faith arguments in service of keeping a majority Black city unrepresented in Congress. A mini-thread. /1
2. Those who say that the constitution prohibits DC statehood argue that the document gave Congress the exclusive legislative power over "the seat of government," which was to be no more than 10 sq mi. But location of that district wasn't decided until 1790. /2
Until then, NYC and Philly served as temporary capitols. DC came about as a backroom deal to get Hamilton's funding and assumption fiscal measures through congress. See this explainer: www2.gwu.edu/~ffcp/exhibit/…
