(🔓) PROOF UNLOCKED: I'm getting this to you all an hour later than anticipated—so I'm making it available to the general public. What this news confirms is that not only has Stone been lying about January 6 but that his team knows he's in serious trouble. sethabramson.substack.com/p/roger-stone-…
(PS) I've just added a number of new photos to the article and may add some more soon. You can subscribe to PROOF and see scores more articles about January 6 here ($5/mo. and cancel anytime): sethabramson.substack.com
(PS2) Okay, a bunch of new photos (with captions) have now been added to the article.
(PS3) My favorite part of this story is how many unrepentant ex-cons are in it, how many pastors are hanging out with these ex-cons, and how many of these folks are in Trump's milieu.

🟥 EX-CONS
Stone
Alexander
Davis
Kerik
Papadopoulos
Tarrio
Manafort

🟪 PASTORS
Burns
Coggins
(PS4) If we just looked at people under criminal investigation or who've been arrested in the past, the number of people here in the relevant category would be at least 8:

🟫 UNDER INVESTIGATION/ARREST RECORD
Giuliani
Luelsdorff
6 Oath Keepers

Oh, and I forgot!

🟥 EX-CON
Flynn

@docgotham Critical pedagogy is itself a grad school topic—as is curriculum development. So the idea that pedagogues are using grad school language to discuss curriculum isn't surprising and doesn't mean they're teaching such ideas. It means they're using many lenses to select K-12 content.
@docgotham You don't understand what theory is if you're confusing critical theory and course content. For instance, imagine a 95 year-old Victorianist thinking a given book has value for study in a ninth-grade class. Does that mean that that class will be indoctrinated into Victorianism?
@docgotham Critical lenses can help us problem-solve without becoming part of our pedagogy/course content. A feminist can choose a book for a fifth-grade class without teaching feminist critical theory—feminism was just one of many aspects of that person's worldview informing a book choice.

CRT is a postmodern metaphysical praxis that is dialectical, self-admittedly neo-Marxist, non-exclusive—cooperative with other critical lenses—and ONLY TAUGHT IN GRADUATE SCHOOL.

If you want to cancel BLACK HISTORY from K-12 school curricula, Trumpists, HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY SO.
PS/ Articles like the one below that describe CRT as "the academic study of racism's impact"—which it isn't—aren't helping. When Randall Kennedy was teaching us CRT at HLS in the 2000s, he would never have called it "the academic study of racism's impact." nbcnews.com/news/us-news/a…
PS2/ History and theory aren't synonymous—and we progressives are going to lose this curriculum debate unless we get our act together. Trumpists don't care about CRT—they don't even know what "theory" is!—they want to eradicate *black history*. We can't accept their BS misnomers.

(THREAD) This is a very brief thread about the new PROOF series on mobile gaming, about how it ties into my other writing and research, and about how I got into this subject—a relatively recent development. I think some people will be surprised at where this new series is headed.
1/ Readers who know anything about me—see bio below—know I used to review video games at Indiewire; I teach gaming (among many other subjects) at UNH; and I'm a professor of digital culture who's extremely invested in "post-internet" (internet age) theory. sethabramson.net/bio
2/ One thing I was *never* interested in was mobile gaming. And if you're reading this thinking, "Yeah, I am *super* not interested in that topic," please know... that was me. That was me *despite* my background with gaming. That was me up until the pandemic began in March 2020.

(🔓) PROOF UNLOCKED: Each week I try to outdo the week before with this music series—to find more obscure and even better songs that'll bring new listeners to this incredible decade. I'm feeling very good about this strange edition. I hope you'll share it! sethabramson.substack.com/p/lost-classic…
(PS) A few earlier entries in the series will soon be going "🔐"—the same "old episodes are a subscription perk" model commonly used with podcasts, e.g. Marc Maron's "WTF"—so definitely head on over to the Music section of PROOF and check out the archives. sethabramson.substack.com/s/music
(PS2) I'll add that "Top 100 Android Video Games" has garnered enough interest in PROOF's Culture section that it's now graduated to "ongoing series" status! I think those looking for pandemic distractions will love the series' new features. Stay tuned! Icon for the series below:

Folks like me—who established via since-confirmed evidence that Trump colluded with Russia but *wasn't* a Russian asset—for years got falsely accused of having said he was. Here's a Trumpist darling casually calling Kerry an "Iranian asset." She'll get no pushback from the right.
(PS) Incredibly, Boebert's basis for falsely calling Kerry an "Iranian asset" is an accusation of a single Logan Act violation which—even were it true—would be one-fiftieth as bad as the Flynn violations the right *instantly* forgave while telling us the Logan Act wasn't a thing.
(PS2) These people stand for nothing, believe in nothing, mean nothing they say, have no principles, do not possess even a single ideal, and candidly not only shouldn't be in government but should never be in any position of responsibility or authority in our culture whatsoever.

FB hasn't actually launched anything. You can't apply to write for Bulletin; the only way you can pay for it is with FB Pay; no controversial topics or politics are allowed; FB won't say what its cut will ultimately be. That's not a competitor to anything. thewrap.com/can-facebooks-…
(PS) Up until 6 months ago, I thought tech columnists had *so much to write about* that they were struggling to keep up. I've since learned that they are so starved for content that they'll *routinely* claim Facebook and Twitter have "launched" products that are still in beta.
(PS2) This article is asking if authors will do something they *literally can't do*. While I personally would never go to Facebook for any reason, it's clear that even once Bulletin is *actually* launched no one will go there until FB announces its cut and lifts its politics ban.
