  1. Thanks to #Undertow I also learned about this 1949 race riot. Those who seek to polarize our nation have been doing this a loooooong time... and they are getting stronger.

  4. Jeff #Sharlet asked everyone this litmus question.

    Q: Do you think there’ll be a civil war?
    A: (They all said) “Yes.”

    Most thought it was coming, soon. Some said it was already here.

  7. Here's #Sharlet's take on creeping fascism from #Undertow

    “... objections to describing militant Trumpism as fascist have fallen away. ... the movement his presidency quickened now cultivates paramilitaries and glorifies violence as a means of purification, thrives on othering its enemies, declares itself persecuted for “Whiteness,” diagnoses the nation as decadent, and embraces the revisionist myth of a MAGA past - as exemplified in its dream of adding Trump’s likeness to Mount Rushmore.”

  10. Another section that made an impact was his decision to capitalize people who were White. I'll give his reasoning attached to this, but many writers / editors who choose to "racify" people by turning an adjective about their skin or ethnicity into a grand noun scares me. Black. Asian. Latino. If you do it to them, do it to EVERYONE. Please.

  13. Sharlet goes a great job describing real people with a perspective very different from his own. Very scary perspectives. The recent death of #Bellafonte underscores how long the fight has begun. His first chapter is all about Harry and how he helped fund Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

  16. Finished reading #Undertow by #Sharlet and I'll summarize it for you. Civil War in the USA has been simmering since its founding. And the one in 1860 never concluded.

  24. @ElleGray Deal breaker for me. One of my favorite dishes is fresh pasta with 5 heads of garlic. Thank you Alice Waters! #chezpanisse

  25. @ct_bergstrom I was trained in industrial organizational #psychology, and one of the fundamental tenets in the field is that any simple measure is invalid.
    This book explains it using big data and network theory. The comment about it being an MBA trick is spot on.

  29. This just in from my wife: At 123Read yesterday my student Denver asked me if I had a daughter and I said yes, but she's grown up, not a kid. Denver said "grown up, you mean like grown?" I said yes, then she said "you mean like she eats a lot of vegetables?"

    PS She does.
