This is an ignorant take on me, based on my career (of which I'm proud) 15 years ago. I am "allied" with none of these people and anyone who thinks otherwise is recreationally blind to reality. Have fun.

This is how most people feel. I write not to offend in recreation. I record common and civilized opinion. I take none of this back. In solidarity with the reasonable many. And - no amount of rhetoric will scare me. You're not gonna win. nytimes.com/2024/04/23/opi…
Two more weeks until @diss_dialogues happens!
More of me with @cliftonaduncan as I sub for Glenn for a bit.
Filling in for @GlennLoury I spoke with actor @cliftonaduncan about theatre, wokeness' effects on it (surprise!) and Clifton's career story. Here's a sample.
This will be fun. As will the whole event @diss_dialogues!

Clapping for a show now means you also have to stand. This frankly sucks. Whatever the reason. Opinions differ. I offer one. But it sucks. nytimes.com/2024/04/11/opi…

This piece crucially nails the difference between the dramatic thrills of reading Fanon and the application of his ideas to real life. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
Do you know Lawrence Tibbett ? A white opera singer who confidently sang Porgy, when it was read as rising above race. Not that the era did, at all. But one could at least sing. And otherwise black men, of course, always sang the role. artsjournal.com/uq/2024/03/wha…
Anticipating: has Sowell gotten every single thing right? Of course not. But overall, he is infinitely wise, a font of crucial data and conclusions. Smackdown: His detractors have no problem celebrating their leftist heroes as gods despite cracks in the plaster.
Beware the idea that standardized tests are incompatible with blackness. They aren't. They are measures of cognitive ability, and blackness has demonstrated way too much of it to permit the idea that the SAT is racist. No SAT? Fewer smart black kids in top schools. Not OK.

Going to be in convo with two of my favorite friends, @Ayishat_Akanbi and @JohnHMcWhorter at @diss_dialogues this May: dissidentdialogues.org
@JohnHMcWhorter Interesting. I just taught this in my community education materials. While I respect and value lived experience, we have to be very careful about thinking they have more accurate solutions than rigorous research. Their views are far too subjective and often informed by trauma.
@JohnHMcWhorter You had me at “Losing the Race”, one of the greatest books ever written.
I love the footnotes and footnotes of footnotes @JohnHMcWhorter has in Nine Nasty Words. I knew this would be good. Thanks for that good shit 🤣 #ItWasMe
@JohnHMcWhorter @diss_dialogues Brilliant. Also, great photo of you!
@JohnHMcWhorter I just listened to this, solid effort on the zoomer slang quiz 👏👏👏
@JohnHMcWhorter “Crocheting?”😆 This is really good. I never knew that both Gould and Steele had such an impact on both of us, but I’m not the least bit surprised. Happy holidays, John. Hugs to you and the young ladies.
If there is a more clear-thinking, fair-minded, and moral man online than @JohnHMcWhorter, I’ve not met him. Profiting from your ideas doesn’t make you a grifter. …saging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/template/oakv2…

@JohnHMcWhorter Thank you, John, I'm honoured!
@megadan1966 @MarkLevineNYC And yes, I know @JohnHMcWhorter. I consider him a friend and I am a great admirer of his work. Like John, I don't much care for labels like "liberal" or "conservative," but since you called me a "liberal," I looked it up: "1.willingness to respect or accept behavior or opinions…
Very pleased to welcome the great @powellnyt to @TheAtlantic.
this was delightful, @JohnHMcWhorter !
“In addition to its interesting past, ‘blink’ has something to say about the present and future evolution of language, as well,” writes @JohnHMcWhorter. nyti.ms/3Y2shJ7
@JohnHMcWhorter It’s the other way around. People who favor legacy admissions are all-in on racial affirmative action. Being a certain kind of progressive became affirmative action to white alumni.
@JohnHMcWhorter This is always brought up by supporters of race & gender based affirmative action every time there is a debate. No one who argues against affirmative action argues FOR legacy admissions, except maybe Montgomery Burns.
@JohnHMcWhorter Really, looking forward to it, my friend. Hope you don’t mind, I added you to a list bc the Twitter Gods won’t let me follow anyone. Can’t wait. Hug those young ladies for me, too. Xx
I’m eager to hear what @JohnHMcWhorter has to add to this type of opinion. Few have tackled these topics as well, whether you agree or disagree. (Hi, John ♥️)
There are days when progressive apocalypticism approaches the level of Trumpist apocalypticism, and this day is one of them.
@JohnHMcWhorter My classroom: absolutely about the verbs.
@JohnHMcWhorter I love listening to Lexicon Valley before heading to bed. The episodes have the perfect length and are interesting, while also being relaxing and free of current societal drama. As a native German, your forays into German and other languages are always a pleasant surprise.
