look I can’t pinpoint exactly when everything went wrong in the world, but it’s probably around the proliferation of kids slime

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

They are murdering civilians on the high seas. They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷. They are murdering civilians in concentration camps. They are murdering civilians on the streets of 🇺🇸 cities. These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

I think I found a live view inside the White House:

I won't even get started (I have before) on the Administration's antipathetic policy toward electrification and renewables. Biden handed him FDR money on a golden platter and he could've had his name plastered all over a solar-powered charging infrastructure of Level 4 chargers. Alas...

It's pretty wild that Trump decided to throw us into illegal war with no plan at the same time as he's deregulating emissions and disincentivizing electrification.

“Ecocide” means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts - consensus definition for proposed inclusion of Ecocide as international crime in Rome Statute

Do do do

The belief in trans rights entering the median voters body as Trump makes gas cost $8/gallon

Looking forward to the latest Gallup poll...

Start here:

Now I want buñuelos.

Back to Polanyi while dinner cooks.

I was living in Bogotá (pop. 10m, Global South capital so... basically ignored by the North) when their reservoirs were basically down to 20%. It was not pleasant. The world is literally and metaphorically on fire and the Elites will be like "global warming is a myth" while pocketing the money.

It's always fucking projection with the Epstein Class.

I did not think I would be in the market for buying a "better" badminton racket but here I am.

Perhaps we've relied way too much on the strategy of gamification.

It makes sense if Jewish nationalism is eschatologically in service of white Christian nationalism.

(Actively) listen to Black women. That's it that's the skeet.

That feeling when you forget to pretend you’re separating your belief that Israel manipulates the US from your beliefs about Jews.

I'm watching my daughter do some algebra homework on her iPad. She taps out a plotted graph that is incorrect but she's not sure why. The app gives no feedback. She taps out another plot. It's correct. She's learned minimally without embodied metacognitive reinforcement. I wish the iPad was gone.

Look, we joke about Trump being the antichrist but if you told somebody two thousand years ago an evil king would cause black rain that sickens the people to fall upon Persia, everyone would instantly grasp there’s some kind of demon sorcery afoot.

"I mean, sure, I sometimes screw up a fact or give horrible advice, but have you seen how well I sate your bloodlust? You wackos love to murder each other."

I can tell when colleagues in my discipline had no liberal arts foundation; there's an inability to view the world holistically that pervades not only their research, but their teaching and advising as well. They are your Darem and Genesis... your Llorca... "They don't know what they don't know."

I've had to explain why/how Jean-Baptiste Colbert and mercantilist ideology from the 1660s affects small business strategy. And my research now on inequity in coffee markets has grounding in Rawlsian justice and elements of Foucault's and Polanyi's works.

Over the past 5 years, I've had to fall back on courses I took as an undergrad 20+ years ago to explain to students why/how Russia attacking Ukraine (and now the US and Israel attacking Iran) affects small business strategy.

I loved this piece. I'm an American tenured marketing professor. My Canadian undergrad degree was in polisci and French language and literature. I took zero business courses as an undergraduate-- in fact, I had negative interest in business **at that time.**

What people in Tehran woke up to. They are breathing this now. This war has to end before it’s too late for all of us.

Facebook's algorithm is utterly berserk. Randos show up in my feed unannounced and unfollowed. Anyways, it is a false moral equivalence that, because Jews have had genocide done to us, we are incapable of doing genocide to others.

Trying...

It is more than 14 into this period and the #GoHabsGo have a solidarity shot on goal.

It's been almost 3 days and gas is up another 20¢/gal. We're talking 50¢/gal since this started. No end in sight. No plan. There are a lot of morality and ethics reasons why the GOP should be wiped out in November, but this is #1 how they will be.

When the normalization of betting on everything and the constant dehumanization of immigrants collide

It's Saturday morning of Spring Break. I made a latte. And I'm spinning the 20th Anniversary reissue of Silent Alarm. Mental rest.

The lesson, which resonates with the previous episodes of Listen to the Native Voices we had with Venezuelans, is that the line that divides humans into grievable life and dehumanized, expendable, and ungrievable life cuts across ethnicity and nationality.

It's National History Day district competition day and my daughter's there for a second year. This year, their subject is the Woburn Cancer Cluster, core to the John Travolta film "A Civil Action" (they interviewed the lawyers for their research). We'll see how it goes over the next couple of hours!

How. Many 6 on 5 goals has this #GoHabsGo team given up this season? Lordy.

It's Paralympics time! I hope President Trump is going to call the future gold-medal-winning USA sled hockey team! No? He doesn't care? Oh.

I've had too many "disco fries" and shitty poutines so I think this is a good idea. But also, if the gravy isn't hearty enough, umami enough, and hot enough, why bother. Also, it needs to be a twice-fried Belgian fry. On second thought, if you can't designate the specs, then this is a boring idea.

Second dose wasnt added to CDC schedule til 1989. Just because MMR is a combo vax doesn't mean all the titers will yield same results. My titers for grad school in 06 were all positive immunogenicity. My titers for Fulbright in 23 were positive for mumps and rubella but inconclusive for measles.

INSPIRED: gas station apizza

I think the people in J Street are good people, but part of why their worldview is incoherent is that this is a bad history of Zionism. Zionism was never rooted in liberalism. Liberal Zionist is an American invention imposed on it. There were leftist and labor Zionisms, but not "liberal Zionism."

Speaking of expensive, illegal Iran war put gas up more than $0.30/gal.

I can't even believe this... Second car deemed a total loss not my fault in 2.5 years.

This is fucking nuts.

Republicans used to say "judeo-christian" in situations like this, to try to soften the antisemitism. they don't bother any more.

This is fucking nuts.

Prediction markets are the perfect technology for a low-trust society, Charlie Warzel argues: “They claim to get us closer to the truth but, in the end, they make us less certain about the world.”
