Thinking it might be a classic reggae + Husker Du kind of night

That was a very good interview

Politics is a trip. Leaders are like I’m going to do a genocide and people say ok I guess. But then they commit fraud and they say that man is a crook!

Isn’t this the point where you see moves by high profile MAGA to defect and compete directly for power with Trump? How much longer is he the golden boy?

When I rip my shirt off and stand outside, naked, beating my chest, the birds all think I'm a dumbass.

Oh you’re telling me there should be entities that can protect the public from the effects of the unfettered pursuit of short term profit by corporations? Shame you guys did everything you could do dismantle them

Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity. Or so I argue in a new post for @apaphilosophy.bsky.social. blog.apaonline.org/2025/11/12/t...

for the record, this is how the @nytimes.com covered Bloomberg, a man elected to the same office as Katie Wilson with the exact same amount of experience in public office as Katie Wilson, but whom the paper did not view with obvious contempt www.nytimes.com/2001/11/07/n...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions. A bit of a video explainer here: 1/ 🧪

The US population increase maybe 50 million from 2000-2020. Undocumented estimates vary widely, but seems to hold around 10 million over that period. This man is a fool.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

"Taste" is fascinating. Its a lot of things, but mostly comes down to discrimination. I mean, we literally describe it as such, but it is taking the measure of various elements of a thing and comparing them in a wider context - discriminating them. 1/

One of my favorite things in a band is when they play with different styles and genres, but not as simulacra. Instead of a jarring "we are now doing a song in this style of music", it just seemlessy blends into (and out of) the core of the band's sound. 1/

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles https://theonion.com/trump-still-polling-well-with-working-class-american-pedophiles/

Survivor is such a weird show. The whole premise has come to be about lying to others about one’s loyalties. The drama in the show is then about people upset about being lied to. It’s just bizarre.

I feel like there a basic moral choice at the heart of liberal society where one is asked simply: do you wish that all are treated with the same grace and fairness as you? Seems so much of our politics builds off that premise - how much do you really believe in it, how much will you fight for it?

What do liberals stand for? This

We'd all love to be able to say we can rely on something other than scientific consensus outside our own expertise. But that's the problem with expertise: you won't have enough to judge a claim's fit within the consensus. This is simply the humble reality of living in a modern, complex world.

Accused of obscenity and sued by police and Tory MPs, Eve Libertine outraged the establishment as part of Crass. Now she’s back – and she hasn’t mellowed with age

Musk and others on the far right are obsessed with things like Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons because they see fantasy worlds as reinforcing their own beliefs about immutable hierarchies of race, gender, and by extension morality www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This is the first I’ve read something as clear as this and we need to keep it on the front burner going forward into the midterms.

This is the closest thing to the start of a project 2029 document I've seen. Democrats desperately need a plan like this and, just as importantly, the balls to execute it.
