My piece about the Census Bureau’s questionable approach to race and ethnic measurement is no longer accessible on @TheMessenger (they’re apparently out of business). You can still access a version of the article at the @afrolatinoforum via the link below: afrolatinoforum.org/pensamientos-b…

@Art_of_Combat_ @JeremiahDJohns Exactly

@JeremiahDJohns Joshua is powerful but “ungodly” power is a stretch. His technique is also good, just standard/kinda basic. You might be thinking of Deontay Wilder

I think when a top ten heavyweight in the world - and a heavyweight whose main talent is ungodly power rather than technique - unloads on a relatively untrained celebrity, "career ending" is actually the expected outcome and not crazy at all.

Cabrones pónganse a hacer salsa dios míooooo se nos van las leyendas y no hay gente nueva

Casi todas las canciones icónicas de los cantantes más reconocidos de salsa fueron compuestas por un sociólogo.

That man spit racism like if it was his job. For once listen to Afro-Latinos. He had a few bops sure but he learned everything from Black people and then acted racist towards Black women (usually Afro-latinas) whenever he had the chance. Ya not willing to condemn him is telling.

@arctotherium42 Is there a reason why you are leaving out the fact that this result is not statistically significant?

In experimental settings, blacks of both parties and white Democrats favor black criminals over white ones in sentencing and pardoning decisions, while white Republicans have no racial preference.

@tedcruz @grok She quite obviously and explicitly said cowboys, not horses.

Hey @grok Where did the Mexicans get horses?

The Haitian Revolution is arguably the most important event in the history of all of Latin America and it makes ppl so mad to admit lmao

Tonight I am here where I’m supposed to be in my beautiful Island with my people celebrating and watching with awe how well Benito represented us and our culture I am proud to be Puerto Rican, and I am proud to be an American citizen. Puerto Ricans are not “fake Americans.” We are citizens who have contributed to this country in every field, from military service to sports, business, science, and the arts, and our identity and citizenship deserve respect. I would not have the opportunities I have today without the support and belief that Most Valuable Promotions and Jake Paul showed in me, and I will always be grateful for the role they have played in helping change my life and in elevating women’s boxing. At the same time, I want to be clear: I do not agree with statements that question the legitimacy or identity of Puerto Rican people, and I cannot support that characterization. It is wrong. I fight with the pride of Puerto Rico and represent my flag every time I step into the ring. I will always stand with my people, with respect for who we are, and with pride in where we come from. I will never change and will forever be a Proud Boricua.

🚨 Research shows repeated complaining physically rewires your brain to prioritize stress and negativity. The way we speak about our daily challenges does more than just vent frustration; it physically alters the architecture of the brain. When we engage in chronic complaining, we repeatedly activate neural networks responsible for detecting threats and processing stress. Through the biological process of neuroplasticity, these circuits become stronger and more efficient every time they are used. Essentially, the brain learns to become more adept at finding things to be unhappy about, turning a temporary mood into a permanent biological predisposition toward negativity and fear-based thinking. As these negative pathways become the brain's default setting, individuals often experience a measurable increase in baseline stress levels and emotional volatility. This heightened sensitivity means that even minor inconveniences can trigger an intense stress response because the brain has been conditioned to interpret the world through a lens of threat. Findings discussed by the Stanford University School of Medicine emphasize that while this mechanism is powerful, understanding the science of affective neuroscience is the first step in consciously redirecting those pathways toward more resilient emotional patterns.

@UjuAnya So awesome!

My son Dimitri—an undergrad in my department—is taking my course this semester. Imagine not doing homework or skipping class, and you gotta face your professor at home?🤭 Last time we were in class together, I was teaching Spanish at UCLA with him inside my belly😁🎓#DrMama

I have yet to see causal support for the claim that foreign intervention leads to democracy formation. Intervention is primarily a “win” for elitists.

@TheFigen_ Looks like Hector Lavoe

Apparently, if you can see a fish, you're left-brained, and if you can see 2 people holding hands, you're right-brained. What do you see?

@JimmyJ4thewin Could never find this interview online in its entirety!

Tupac was highly intelligent. The “I know a lot about your people” lady, though, is wild.

When Kobe Bryant said his insane level of confidence came from knowing he’d done all he could to prepare, it taught me that anytime I’m nervous it means I didn’t prepare enough.

what people don’t realize is that to write is to think. by outsourcing your writing you are outsourcing your thinking. you are paying for the degradation of your own mind. don’t use AI to “structure” your thoughts. structure them yourself. a shortcut to nowhere
