How do food memories, storytelling, and migration all come together around a plate of pasta with yogurt? Read Elif Birbiri's thoughts on the Food Anthropology blog to find out. foodanthro.com/2025/09/09/w...
How are American concentration camps different from the Nazis'? Cute names! Nebraska now has the "Cornhusker Clink" (formerly the more sinister "Work Ethic Camp"). Seriously. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...
This doesn't look like a cover-up at all. Nope, nothing to hide. Go about your business, people.

Of course, if you read the column, the takes are quite a bit more nuanced then the headline would suggest. Not that social media allows for nuance. Anyhow, I am sure there is nothing more pressing today than whether Dowd was right in 2016.
What can you do with an anthropology degree? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
If every accusation Trump makes is really a confession, what should we make of this? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/u...
"Rapid unscheduled disassembly," is apparently the term Musk's SpaceX uses for their failed rocket launches. Seems appropriate for Musk and Trump's failed approach to governance as well.

Defending Anthropology panel at the AAA! #anthrosky
Louisiana elected officials seem to get up every day and ask themselves: what can I do to make life here worse? Today's example: Louisiana has some of the worst nursing homes in the US. Instead of fixing that, state legislators want to protect operators from lawsuits. www.nola.com/news/politic...
Is Senator Kennedy spreading anti-Semitism? I wrote to ask him to support funding for NPR and PBS, he wrote back with bizarre references to Soros buying (non-public) radio stations in Louisiana...in other words, anti-Semitic dog whistles about the media.
Some dark thoughts from Timothy Snyder, well worth a read. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.
2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.
1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
The Trump Administration is fomenting antisemitism even when pretending to oppose it. Watch this brief video for an explanation. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
Trump's anti-antisemitism is a lie. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...
Israel hosts an "anti-Semitism" conference in which the featured guests are far right Europeans from anti-Semitic parties. This is beyond disgusting. Also, why am I reading about this in the European and Israeli press, but the American media is apparently silent.

Image of dozens of police lining up to protect a Tesla dealership.
Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.
The Republicans have introduced legislation to roll back regulations limiting fees banks can charge. Nice to know they are looking out for those poor bankers! This happened a few weeks ago, but I think it got less coverage because of all the other crap happening. jacobin.com/2025/02/tim-...
