Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

Whatever you do, don’t write my dean, because tenured professors are famously not allowed to say what they think

In totally unsurprising news, Richard Dawkins is developing AI psychosis. Paywall bypass: archive.is/6RdK9

Do yourself a favor and shun all legal analysts who are not willing to be publicly honest about the fact that Samuel Alito is a little bitch. It would be like listening to an astronomer who’s being cagey about whether or not the sun is hot: nothing they say can possibly inform you about reality.

$3 million for the city from this one transaction thanks to the transfer tax I wrote, @dsasf.org championed, and SF voters passed. This is why billionaires attack socialists and why billionaire-backed politicians want to eliminate the transfer tax.

The main Iranian spokesperson dude is Sephiroth Posting again fwiw. I will say they are far more lyrical than Trump when they do this. Probably because they’re all PhDs

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight. As a Cuban, I'm devastated.
