ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the ocean says it loves you.

there are many photos of Gilbert Ryle, but this one captures his dispositions best

not sure this is the best but I like it

Clio is also absurdly photogenic, but I like this one because it’s how she looks at me when she’s happy 💙

Not generally an astrology girlie but I could get into this: “go to the ocean and sacrifice a man under the moonlight and scream into the night sky for all the people who didn’t do the thing who came before you.”

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Omg

Stop accidentally opening the weather app for nyc and torturing yourself with misplaced excitement. It will not be 77° f here today.

I've been guided into our library basement to find a translation of Kant's Über Pädagogik, which has some cool discussion of birdsong in it (somewhere). This translation is 22 years older than the university that owns it.

Oh to be a 17 day old Kakapo snoring face down in the dirt.

Not only did the sons probably call ICE on her, the day after her husband died they took their dad's cars, leaving her housebound. Then they rerouted mail, causing her to miss a visa appointment & the utilities to be turned off. Tony and Gary Ross are going to hell. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/16/u...

Has anyone argued from the choice of Leo to the conclusion that electoral colleges are good after all?

Yes AND we are getting a great progressive to fill the seat! bsky.app/profile/anal...

For those of you who are unfamiliar, before Mike Sherrill won this seat, it was held by a Republican who could trace his family all the way back to the revolution. It was once believed to be mathematically impossible for Dems to win this seat You love to see it!

Another day, another round of "Am I filled with incandescent rage because of perimenopause or because of the increasing inequity and inhumanity of society"

"It is no longer novel or even particularly accurate to note that the richest Americans control a greater share of resources than they did during the Gilded Age; they are...about three times wealthier. That wealth is increasingly concentrated in a single industry, consumed by a singular purpose."

Someone help Bridget make a bot that will post snippets from various grand documents of the Catholic Social Tradition.

All it took to hollow out the US system of higher ed was: 1. Fomenting racial and class grievances that “those” educated people both think they are better than “you” common folk and are achieving a privileged status over “you” common folk; (1/3)

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

My big takeaway from reporting this story is that it's not JUST about the Forest Service. The closure of these stations threatens to upend a delicate system of mutually beneficial collaboration and resource sharing, and the impacts will ripple out far beyond the Forest Service itself.

It’s senior skip day here today but the kids are not doing anything?! And I’ve got to call him out?! I try really hard not to be all “back where I come from blah blah blah” but seriously, back where I come from, senior skip day meant great adventure. This is embarrassing.

...the Marquis de Sade is "Sade", Alexis de Tocqueville is "Tocqueville". Fine, fine, I hear you say. But what about de Gaulle? Isn't he always de Gaulle? Yes he is. Because his "de" is Flemish. Different language, different rules.

Liam has reminded me of something I've been meaning to do for a while: Why "Beauvoir" and not "de Beauvoir"? A thread 🧵

I grew up in Pennsyltucky and went to school in the NY part of NJ, so I think both of you are right, somehow
