• Sun, 22:59: 1 I've been thinking today, randomly, about @iraglass, @ThisAmerLife / David Sedaris, and use of the r-word in 1996. http://t.co/AxlyX4vTJF
• Sun, 22:59: 2 In 1996, it was cruel, but not really outside the realm of the norm. Last year, it forced a father off the road to weep.

• Sun, 23:00: 3 I am uncomfortable saying - this can't be broadcast. First, some people think it's brilliant. Second, who am I to say it has no value.
• Sun, 23:00: 4 But this is where the content note/trigger warning world seems to make sense to me. Because that father was triggered hard.
• Sun, 23:01: 5 I think @ThisAmerLife / @iraglass are obligated to say - "this story includes prejudicial language about the disabled" - did they?
• Sun, 23:01: 6 They do for sex. I believe they do when someone uses racially insensitive language. The honest language of interview or fiction is fine.
• Sun, 23:02: 7 But one can think about the audience and offer the content note while reflecting the creation/interview in its original.
• Sun, 23:02: 8 Which - and here's the good part - prolongs the life of the piece. The content note keeps it from going the way of Little Black Sambo
• Sun, 23:03: I'm done now. Maybe I should blog about that.
• Sun, 23:05: If you're baffled what I was just talking about, read this blog post. http://t.co/AxlyX4vTJF
• Mon, 00:51: RT @thinkprogress: Congress will review the transfer of military weapons to police forces after Ferguson http://t.co/NshliIfp0g
• Mon, 01:22: I am upset by police militarization. It's a big problem. Police militarization was Wednesday's story when the MRAP apeared.

• Mon, 01:22: And that sniper on top of the tank was a terrifying image, pointing his weapon at civilians legally protesting.
• Mon, 01:23: I think, though, that Michael Brown's death is not about militarization. It's about racism and the cult of compliance. Am I wrong? Tell me.
• Mon, 01:27: A de-militarized police force is one that is safer for the protesters of #Ferguson. I'm not sure it's safer for the black jaywakers.

• Mon, 04:13: RT @ryanjreilly: "It's as simple as training your dog." -- #DarrenWilson supporter on how to deal with #Ferguson http://t.co/kT3Gk0Irvd
• Mon, 04:14: Yes, plenty of racism among those supporters of Wilson. It's the prime entry point to the intersection.
• Mon, 04:14: But I really think it's important to pile other components on top of it too. That's why intersectional thinking matters.
• Mon, 04:16: Defying curfew MAY be bad actors. It may also be principled civil disobedience. Arresting for CD is fine, but don't assume motive.
