The thing about there needing to be a path of redemption for people who have been “canceled” is: there already is a path to redemption and it’s called “redeeming yourself.” The path is open! No one is blocking that! You just have to do it!

An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.

I keep listening to podcasts with oil analysts & the shit they are saying is absolutely apocalyptic. If it stays closed, we're going to have to reduce oil demand *more than demand fell during Covid*. Remember that? When the entire world shut down? More than that.

I am not pointing this comment at anyone in particular, but: The TSA line has already been a fraught place for brown and Black travelers for as long as it has been around. The racism might get worse tomorrow, but it isn’t going to start tomorrow. That is all.

When reporters would ask me about "how will the public see the effects of DOGE?" my answer was pretty unsatisfying. 1. Performance declines in orgs that deliver direct and measurable services (e.g. IRS, VA, SSA) 2. Emergencies reveal lack of expertise when you need it. The Iran war is a #2 case.

if there's one conclusion that the study of both labor history and imperialism converge on, it is that the richest people in the world are happy to burn money on control, power, impunity. and the "everything is about profit" version of anti-capitalism does not survive serious contact with either
