Superb advice from Joseph Campbell

Misquoting Orwell is the perfect end to her tenure

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

California is expanding its water supply by adding 2.9 billion gallons a year through eight major state-funded projects. We're recycling more water, removing PFAS, upgrading wastewater systems and building new desalination for over one million Californians. This is how we build drought resilience.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Good.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

“The emails depict a group whose highest commitment is to their own permanence in the class that decides things. When principles conflict with staying in the network, the network wins.” Masterful work by @anandwrites.bsky.social

When you help preside over economic policy that is both inflationary and nonsensical and tell average Americans struggling with affordability that they should deal with it by finding a new place to live.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Whomst among us hasn't felt a little vacuum about snackie all done

Big fan of @scottwiener.bsky.social 🔥

1000 times this. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Good grief this thread 😳

Interesting take from @joshtpm.bsky.social. I‘m happier than ever for my monthly donation to @runforsomething.net to elect young progressives. Every safe Dem who caved shd be primaried and sent packing. When I had ACA my premiums were already insane - I can’t even imagine what they’ll be now. SHAME.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

This is the correct energy

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Calfiornia passed Prop 50 in a landslide & San Francisco led the way with 84.1% support — the highest support of any county. I’m so proud to be a San Franciscan & to represent this great city.

woot!

Smartest thing I’ve seen all night!

All these people avoiding m-dashes because “AI uses them” simply means that there’s more for me!

This is excellent @chrislhayes.bsky.social

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

people: mamdani is going to turn NYC into a theocracy!!!! SCOTUS: it's ok if ur religion thinks being gay is evil and don't want ur kids to read about it in school

If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.

It was never about reducing abortions. It’s about controlling women - our independence, our choices, our bodies.

This interview w/ @bencollins.bsky.social is 🔥 “We’ve gone all in on speaking the truth, despite how dangerous it is now - the truth is incredibly absurd, so it just happens to line up very nicely with our business model. Says @theonion.com soon to be 1 of the biggest papers in US by distribution.🎉

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

"I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire."

When I was around 16 years old, I figured out that the Marshall Plan and U.S. foreign aid were not altruism, but rather highly cost-effective ways to promote U.S. military, political and economic interest around the world. Shutting down USAID almost certainly will cost 💲 for every penny it saves.

I wish every D would read this @joshtpm.bsky.social piece. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/where...

People keep saying it but Tommy Tuberville, who probably can't tie his own shoes, held up military appointees for like ten months. We are always learning that - oh, Rand Paul can just keep something from coming to the floor. I have never seen a Dem involved in any story like this.

This is the way.
