trigger warning, here

My newsletter is somehow five years old today. So, here’s the first post, from way back in 2021.

I think I worked it out. White privilege exists on a super low vibrational frequency. If you're on that low frequency, it's invisible to you. But the moment ✨you✨ evolve to a higher vibrational frequency, you can see it in 4K full color, and more you can see every societal compact it has polluted.

If a company breaks the law it should always be the directors who are personally liable, not some poor schmuck lower down. They're quick enough to take their fucking bonuses, so they should accept some fucking responsibility as well.

The bosses are forcing their employees to use it. Politicians are competing to shovel money & infrastructure at it. The billionaires who control media are constantly lecturing & hectoring people to accept it & use it more. They don't care it's losing money. They don't care people hate it.

'all a tyrant's acts are void' is an ancient (& good) principle i'd apply this to the supreme court - after reform/packing a blanket overturn of every trump era decision www.liberalcurrents.com/mamdani-teac...

Disappointing to see the TPUSA All-American Halftime Show become so political, it should be about the music

This might sound like hyperbole. It is not. They took a decision they were warned would cause trans kids to die. Trans kids died. They covered that up and attacked those trying to expose their cover up. They deserve to go to prison and nobody will ever be held accountable. It is the UK way.

Remember: You haven’t missed your chance. There is no deadline on becoming who you are. The door hasn’t closed. In fact, some of your best ones haven’t opened yet.

S160 #6046 shunts back into the steam shed and is coupled up to #6998 at the back of the shed, before carefully pulling it out in the open. 1st August 2021.

“Soaked up that landing like an industrial sponge”

YES LMFAO IT IS SO BLEAK

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Please take the time to read this superb @jamellebouie.net column. It establishes a baseline of truth for anyone who wants to think, talk, and write honestly about Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

I’m sticking to my guns on this. Feels like my country was turned upside down in the past year. Threats to our economy and sovereignty that would have been unthinkable before. All because of decisions made by voters in the US. To hear people brush that off and shirk responsibility is maddening.

Says something about the humanity of the people we imprison that Jeffrey Epstein had to know they wouldn't be as genial to a mass child rapist as male billionaires, influencers, and academics were.

The crying from Republicans after they started the gerrymandering war is amazing. They’ve gotten so used to Democrats taking their outrageous attacks on the high road they can’t believe we are fighting back. Let’s be clear: we aren’t going high when they go low anymore. That ship sailed long ago.

i think it is particularly interesting that Barro, McArdle, and Douthat saw the moralizing change which has happened since the 1970s not as "you might get arrested for fucking a 12-year-old" but rather "your friends on Martha's Vineyard might cut you off for fucking her."

the fact that they saw Polanski as not being punished despite fleeing to France -- the fact that his social circle did not hold him accountable -- finally makes me understand why the elite media is insane about left activism at elite colleges: nothing anyone else can do to them matters.

so funny to see republicans complaining about this as if they have not been pulling this shit for 15 years.

Lord of the Flies: the castaway classic is such excellent, surreal horror that you will feel sick throughout

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

Current state of Republican Party politics: The president posted an image of the first black president and First Lady as apes; no one at the White House will publicly say that is not appropriate; the most likely person to face consequences is the party’s sole black senator — for calling it “racist.”

Yes, exactly! Also linked to the prevalence of nepo babies and elites in journalism, which was facilitated by centering media in the most expensive cities (NY, DC, SF) and requiring unpaid internships, low-paid labor, and expensive degrees for entry. The reporters won't report on corrupt friends.

Back in Horsted Keynes station, we continue to enjoy our visit. We spot 9F #92240 awaiting work to return to steam. 18th July 2021.

1/2 European opinion of the U.S. has collapsed. After Trump’s pressure on Denmark over Greenland, unfavourable views hit record highs across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK — and especially Denmark. Trust erodes when power bullies allies.

I find it fascinating that this article repeats the opinion that it is inappropriate that Eugenie founded a charity to tackle sex trafficking but is anyone asking *why* she founded it. Not just saying. Very pointedly saying.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Exactly. I have been accused repeatedly of just wanting to drag Jeffries (“Dem-bash”) for clout. No. I want the leaders to be better; to fight more. And this is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social responding appropriately. Good for him.

I’m not a Starmer fan (#KennySteamer) but if you’re going to pull his government and party to shreds investigating alleged wrongdoing then subject Farage and his vanity project to the same investigations.

On this day in 1992, George H.W. Bush sent a memo to all White House staff about how fat his dog was

I bet Katie Britt can't stop thinking about that racist post, even as she supports every single racist thing this racist regime does

It has been ten years since the USA had a president under 70, an age at which most professors—a famously easy job for sexageniarians!—have clocked out

that's funny, every time I'm tempted to re-read Trump v. United States I hit myself in the head with a mallet instead. saves time and leads to a better outcome.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

V true, though it’s like a global version of the British Westminster expenses scandal, and that had a corrosive impact even after people *were* held accountable & went to jail

To these freaks, even people just disliking them or thinking they're not the crème de la crème of humanity is an unacceptable offence against their entire being. The idea of facing actual consequences is like telling a normal person they'll be drawn and quartered

Really brilliant column by Gillian Tett on what 'normalisation of deviance' means for organisations
