my capacity for constantly asking "what the fuck is wrong with these people?" shouldn't be confused with nativity. constantly being made agog by the depths of their depravity is a good thing because it means that empathy meter is still working. goes for all of you

So cool for 89-year-old blues legend Buddy Guy to be honored. Appearance in Sinners last year (and on the soundtrack). And just won Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album.

Black History Month starts today. Crispus Attucks (c. 1723 – March 5, 1770) was an American whaler, sailor, and stevedore of African-American descent who is traditionally regarded as the first person killed in the Boston Massacre, and as a result the first American killed in the American Revolution.

I again, repeating myself, ad infinitum, still do not understand how Trump mocking a disabled reporter on camera at a rally in I dunno, 2015 wasn't enough of a red flag to get him cancelled by the media permanently and have his Apprentice shows taken off the air It should have ended RIGHT THERE.

White evangelicals are who's preventing further slippage for Trump. And they're unlikely to ever abandon him, in my opinion, so he's probably at or near his possible floor overall right now.

Trump hasn't just insulted the troops of our allies. He's insulted the Black service members who fought bravely for a country that wasn't even giving them the full measure of equality. Great piece by Pulitzer winner Matt Desmond:

City of Others is a weird, spunky urban fantasy mystery that somehow compresses a nefarious corporation, scheming jinn, undead ducklings, wyverns, supernatural markets, and office politics into one seamless story.

When outraged Germans protested over Aktion T4 in 1941, the Nazi government officially shut down the program. It continued unofficially until the fall of the Nazi government. Don't take your eyes off of ICE if they back off their current tactics or fire more leaders in the face of mass protest.

Even when they show signs of weakness or forced regret, we must not give an inch. Authoritarian governments still respond to public opinion, which is why sustained pressure matters. We have to keep making clear that these thuggish actions are unconscionable and will not be tolerated. Don’t let up.

The point is to evacuate language totally of its ability to hold meaning & thus to eviscerate our ability to make meaning together. It's not supposed to convince you but to silence us AND stop us listening to each other. In BAD LANGUAGE I call this anti-semism, an enmity to meaning-making.
