[#]Trump and #Musk are literally converting the #government into a #fascist #Whitenationalist state at light speed, bypassing all protocols when shutting down domestic agencies like some sort of Mafioso shakedown, and the New York Times is running a story about how polls show that #Democrats are out of touch with voters. I don't think there's even a word for this sort of double standard.

The #GroundhogDay guy is now out of a job. Thanks to #climatechange, #winter already ended before today. No need for predictions anymore

[#]Fulton a clairement travaillé sur son game intérieur. C'est important puisque il a pas de force.

Je suis pas fan de #Figueroa, mais ses combats est habitudement animés. Au contraire, celui-ci est ennuyant

Je prevoyais pas un combat comme celui entre #Cruz et #Fierro. Je pensais que Cruz allait gagner sans problème.

J'ai pitié pour #Rosario. Pas de raison à continuer. #Ramos a la situation complètement en mains.

Bon, #Cuello a gagné, mais il a eu de la chance littéralement à la dernière minute. Pas un bon signe pour son avenir.

TIL that #Kenner, #Louisiana was originally called Cannes Brûlées, meaning burnt sugarcane. The French pronunciation is /kan bɾyle/ whereas Kenner is /kɛn əɹ/. It's hard to say what happened to the adjective as it was anglicized, but the sugarcane was preserved pretty well in there.

(Got this from the list of #colonial censuses in Zitomersky (1974) that has one for "Cannes Bruslees" in 1722.)

So, to get to the actual primary data, this information had to pass from Tansey/Sterkx to Schweninger to Gehman to Susberry, and the message was already distorted by the time it got to Gehman whose book is, by the way, cited 132 times as of today according to Google Scholar.

And this #citationhole goes deeper. The laws that Gehman (1994) described were not mentioned at all in the works she cited. Blassingame (1973) and Tregle (1992) didn't talk about any laws. Schweninger (1989) described different laws and cited Tansey (1981) and Sterkx (1972). These two finally did cite some actual statutes and court cases.

And another citation hole: Referencing a #discriminatory law aimed at free people of color in #Louisiana, Susberry (2004) cited Gehman (1994) who actually described the law(s) completely differently and cited Schweninger (1989), Blassingame (1973), and Tregle (1992), one of whom may or may not have actually cited the damn law(s) directly.

More on how poor citations can be: Susberry (2004), writing about #Whites and White #Creoles unifying after the #Louisiana Purchase to dominate all people of color, cited G. R. Daniel (1992). That chapter, which was a useful analysis of #race itself, made literally no mention of Louisiana nor Creoles. This is why I'll always be an advocate for regularly citing page numbers regardless if people think that's "grad student style" or not.
