#BreonnaTaylor #SayHerName Today is another injustice. We see it. We know it. We reject injustice and stand for our sister.

Valerio Capraro@ValerioCapraro·
Fascinating paper just published in Science. The authors analyze the career trajectories of top performers across multiple domains, including Nobel laureates, elite chess players, Olympic gold medalists, and more. Their central finding challenges a common belief. Intensive, single-discipline training at a young age does confer an early advantage, but this advantage fades over time. By contrast, individuals exposed to multidisciplinary practice early in life tend to start more slowly. Yet, over the long run, they are more likely to reach world-class performance, eventually overtaking early specialists, who often plateau just below the very top. An important reminder that breadth early on can be a powerful investment in long-term excellence. Link to the paper in the first reply.

My goal as a journalist is to report carefully on the best, most practical social policy ideas that can change the world, and this is easily the most exciting one I’ve had the opportunity to cover this year. I hope you'll read it 🧵↓

@morme1 Many of the native tribes on the west coast did indeed get lucky. The first white people there wrote that "in all the world the like abundance is not to be found"

Poverty is the natural state of man. Hunter-gatherers lived in dire, brutal conditions under constant threat of death from forces they could not predict, understand, or control. Prosperity is a bizarre historical anomaly that had to be wrestled from nature tooth and nail.

I am on the legal academic job market! My job talk paper is on how courts in tax, corporate, and bankruptcy law spheres value business interests systematically differently, such that the same asset is "worth" different amounts of money depending on the substantive underlying law.

'Nonplussed’ means “perplexed,” but since the mid-20th century, ‘nonplussed’ has increasingly been used to mean “unimpressed” or “unsurprised.” This use, though often considered an error, has made the confident deployment of this word a fraught issue for many.

@RobynDMarley_ Before Jack and Jill 1 and all the like - was using a paper bag it was “how many generations removed from slavery” and be sure 1 did not qualify 😣the talented 10th has a highly problematic backstory indeed

I wished we had more black viewers for #TheGildedAge because this season they’re tapping into classism and colorism in the black community and I want to engage in healthy discourse. I didn’t realize emancipated slaves were looked down on by those who were born free like wow…

What’s healthier: Option 1: a UPF, which is a big green salad with chopped veggies, and 2 TBS of dressing with < .01gram of some flavor & color to increase vegetable intake. (NOVA 4 mixed food) Option 2: Whitebread, with salt, sugar, bacon and cheese. (NOVA 3 mixed food)

I get the sense a lot of Americans have a cartoony, Hollywoodized understanding of what life under authoritarianism is like. They don’t get that most censorship is self-censorship; most people just go about their normal, daily lives not talking about the things they shouldn’t.

Successful black communities and towns. A THREAD! Did you know that an entire Manhattan village owned by black people was destroyed to build Central Park. The community was called Seneca Village. It spanned from 82nd Street to 89th Street.

I have been thinking about rememory again. The way Toni Morrison calls it forth into the world of Beloved —less about memory but more about a thing that returns and haunts and rearranges you in an attempt to resurrect itself.

@AniokeVincent Depression doesn’t have to have a reason. Just as we can be happy “for no reason” Everyone has permission to be in their moment. Mike Wallace has great interviews about this. Good on you for sharing ❤️

I guess part of me felt like I didn't have the right to say this. Not when so much is going right. So many moments these days bear the warmth of new starlight. But I need to make room for the ssadness too. This aching thing I've been telling to shut the fuck up. Hey. I hear you.

I'm depressed. My job is amazing. My writing is doing well. I'm proud of my friends. They're proud of me. I became a Canadian citizen last year. Gained personhood in a country that doesn't detest my existence. I'm living the life 12 year old me deeply desired. But I'm depressed.

The new Superfine book accompanying the Met Museum exhibit on Black dandyism is really good. Striking photography and, more importantly, thoughtful essays on themes like distinction, disguise, and respectability. Impressive breadth, as it covers 300 years of style.
