Not sure how I had forgotten how well jazz and hiphop go together but stumbling upon S.Mos' albums have brought joy to today's cooking session. One example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDVCZLz318w

Running is amazing!

I've been running almost every day for the past 5 weeks. It's so rewarding how I can now run 5x the distance that would've killed me a month ago without even breaking a sweat!

Anyone can start running! Don't be fooled by the very steep initial difficulty!

I've been following the "Couch to 5k" method, intended to get those who can't run at all to be able to run 5 kilometers straight in 9 weeks. It's absolutely brilliant.

Yesterday a friend of mine sent this photo of me he dug out of a file system somewhere. It's probably from about the same era as the photo above. With some judicious cropping, I also like how this one turned out.

• Photo cropped tight around my outstretched right hand holding a baseball towards the camera. I'm holding the ball between my thumb, index, and middle fingers. My pinky and ring fingers are held tight against my palm. The ball looks like it has received a few good thwacks in its life. Behind the ball, slightly outside the depth of field, you can make out a part of my face below my nose. It's hard to tell, so assume I'm smiling. (remote)

• Image of the abstract. It reads, In the United States, police are becoming increasingly militarized. Whereas the racialized nature of police militarization has been documented, the relationship between racial prejudice and police militarization is less understood. We assessed the link between racial prejudice against Black and Native Americans and police militarization at individual and regional levels. Study 1 (N = 765) recruited a nationally representative sample of White Americans and found a positive association between racial prejudice and support for police militarization. Study 2 (N = 3,129,343) sourced regional aggregates of prejudice among White Americans from Project Implicit and policing data from the Defense Logistics Agency and found that police departments in states higher in prejudice acquired greater amounts of militarized equipment. Together, these studies demonstrate that, in terms of attitudes and policies, racial prejudice predicts police militarization. (remote)
• Data from survey showing consistent positive associations between racial prejudice of Black people and Native Americans and support for police militarization (remote)
• A map of the US showing states with most police militarization. California and Texas are the highest. Georgia, South Caroline, Tennessee also appear relatively high (remote)
• Scatterplot of the state-level association between explicit bias against Black people and police militarization in the state. The effect is positive, but does not appear to be very strong. (remote)
