Yes. You rarely get to change the world overnight. It's rarely a good idea, even if you did. You change it in degrees and bring people around to your way of thinking. Then you remind people all along who did it, and what more can be done. That's politics.

Everyone debates endlessly whether or not culture influences politics but I swear to god being a kid in the 80s and watching Vietnam movies and reading Vonnegut made me hate war in my bones and once you hate war everything flows downstream from there. Then Stipe and Cobain etc finished me off

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

The absolute best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party is for the people in control of the Democratic Party to lose control and be replaced by people who actually believe in the power of the Democratic Party.

Good God! We are in deep trouble. “Parts of France are recording land surface temperatures above 55°C...approaching values commonly seen in the Sahara. The difference is that one is a desert. The other is supposed to be one of Europe's most productive agricultural regions.”

Fucking stop using fucking Spotify just fucking stop. There are no excuses. If you're an indie artist and you prop up Spotify because you think it helps you you're part of the problem. Stop using it to listen. Stop using it to host your music.

Toby the African pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) is taking a dust bath at the Cincinnati Zoo. Birds secrete oil from a uropygial gland ('preen gland') that is antimicrobial, conditions & adds waterproofing. A dust bath helps remove this oil so a fresh layer can be applied.

1. My e-bike assistance means I'm doing ¾, ½, or ¼ of the exercise, depending on the setting 2. What a pity it'd be if we de-carbonized transportation, made our streets safe, and reclaimed 30% of the total land in our cities for trees, grass, and housing instead of parking and overbuilt-roads 🧵
