I would give a lot to be at Nadal/Djokovic tonight
So close, but so far!
It’s way too stressful to watch a match on google on your phone
It’s like when Neo reads the Matrix
Nadal with the break!

From a 2017 introduction to critical race theory. This helps explain why the label CRT is becoming an insufficient one to describe the scale of the paradigm shift:
Rather prescient

I’ll likely have 100k followers before @Twitter @verified verifies my account. Puts me in good company with @coldxman, @JohnHMcWhorter and @GlennLoury, but it’s bizarre. Am verified on @Facebook and @instagram and have published everywhere. Sincerely hope this isn’t ideological.
As far as I can tell I provided everything that is required of a journalist. Name on masthead of @NYTmag and official website linking to account. Clarification would be welcome. Retweets of the above post would be appreciated 🙏🏽
I never used @Twitter regularly when verification was a free-for-all in the past, so never requested. But now that I do and @verified opened up again, I see it as a basic issue of fairness.

Writing is not basketball or, better yet, a one-on-one sport like tennis. People like to invoke decorations as though they're ironclad. But winning a prize for one's writing is not an objective measure of anything. Winning prizes is also political.
Some of the best writers of the past 100 years have never won any number of the most coveted prizes.
James Baldwin never won a National Book Award, Pulitzer or MacArthur.

What an incredible essay by a student who is not just clever but wise: "I didn’t feel good. It felt as if I were trying to gain pity. I knew what I went through was tough and to overcome those challenges was remarkable, but was that all I had to offer?" nytimes.com/2021/05/09/opi…
"this was an experience not talked about enough: students of color trying to become poster children for trauma and pain."
"I felt like the college system was forcing us to embody something that was less than what we are. Were colleges just looking for a check on a checklist? Were they looking for a slap on the back for saving us from our circumstances?"

This is the absolute craziest shit I have ever seen
"I am a cisgender millennial who's been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder."

That is mind-blowing. Mind-blowing.
Who is in control of this account???

Hemingway as a journalist in France during WW2 is insane! Random village girls approach him thinking he’s an officer to tell him 3 Germans are hiding in a cellar so he goes and shouts a warning then drops 3 grenades inside! The townsfolk reward him with 2 magnums of champagne!
He just summarily killed three men while reporting!
He then moved into the Ritz with his soon-to-be fourth wife and took a picture of her absent husband, put it in the toilet bowl, and “shot it to pieces with a machine pistol” 😩
