America hit the floor.

In my latest essay, I look at the way our idea of the “economy” has been transformed from its early meaning as a method of care for families and communities into liturgies of idolatrous efficiency. I welcome your thoughts. Thank you! https://daviddault.substack.com/p/an-economy-of-cruelty

I take some time to think about nihilism, and I would love for you to think with me. I welcome your comments and feedback. Thank you. https://daviddault.substack.com/p/the-post-american-present

I look to you and I see nothing

But the way lacazette just stared them down was poignant.

what folks get wrong about lynch is they think he was trying to expose nice, normal communities as hotbeds of darkness and violence, but that's not it. he tried to figure out how nice, normal communities can co-exist alongside hotbeds of darkness and violence. I think it genuinely mystified him.

“A need for approval lies behind all efforts of evangelism. If someone else can be convinced, that will show us that we are on the right path. The attempt to convince someone of anything is a mark of insecurity.” ― Ravi Ravindra AI boosters are evangelists. Don’t fall for the foolishness.

knocked the wind out of me: "Watching the reactions to Dobson’s passing by others who grew up in this world, I keep thinking this: He devoted his life to trying to break us, but he created an 'us.'" - @jasonkirk.fyi

Never change, Los Angeles.

I remember something Nicole Cliffe shared on Twitter about what becoming a parent is like. You either have this realization of gratitude and overwhelm for your parents or you look at this tiny human and go “how the fuck does ANYONE treat a child that way?”

The moment I realized that I was physically hit by my caregivers because Dobson et al had convinced them that in my raw form, I was evil to the core was...one hell of a day in therapy. I remember looking at my therapist through tears and saying "how could you think about a kid that way?"

just gonna say this again because it needs to be pointed out Dobson’s favorite (only?) form of parental discipline is functionally sexual assault. It is always wrong to strip a child naked and touch or hit them, even “lovingly”. He was not sorry and neither am I.

Wishing unmarried couples all the happy premarital sex they can possibly have.

My friend @thismicahcarver.bsky.social once said it, so I put it on a shirt. May you be a blessing to a family of hungry worms, James Dobson.

if you were personally harmed by Dobson's teachings, i am raising my coffee to you in solidarity. i hope you do something indulgent and embodied today to celebrate.

This was the worst Thrift store bait and switch I've ever experienced.

Jurassic Park is such an elegant franchise because you can literally organize the quality of the films by release date.

"Art eats empire for breakfast" needs to be on a bumper sticker.

I am so excited for this book. I mean, just look at this chapter list. I want to take an entire class where this is the reading list. I want to TEACH that class. I'm so grateful for @daviddark.bsky.social holding up a grief telescope to our society (to quote one of my favorite Andrea Gibson poems).
