Papers are like buses... You wait for ages, then two come along at once.

It's hard not to feel like I have a
responsibility to be a better writer about the state of the world. Paradoxically the only way to improve is to write, so I'm trying to write about things, and maybe in doing so learn to do it better. Some thoughts on modern American protestβ¦
Extremely jarring to learn that Mark McCloskey, previously best known to me and mine for brandishing an assault weapon at BLM protestors in my hometown, is now representing the pardoned January 6th rioters in their pursuit of retribution? Not surprising, necessarily, just jarring.
βWhat really comes out of the National Security Strategyβ¦ is that the priority of the U.S. government is U.S. corporationsβ¦ What this government is essentially saying is that governments are neoliberal puppets of corporations. And so we need to apply this to foreign policy.β
Great @voiceofsandiego.org piece on hostile architecture in SD (and all over) and how it does nothing to actually alleviate homelessness! We can all benefit from more empathy and better public spaces.

I can relate to this philosophy!
You drum too??!
In retrospect I do think it was confusing to be taught the words manifest (list of things and people on a ship) and manifest (destiny) around the same time as a child
Just heard a pet insurance ad use the line βyour pet is your therapistββ¦ I hope they know a therapy dog is VERY DIFFERENT than a dog who is a therapist
Rightβ JUST writing an article that says that everyone knows the thing βeveryone knowsβ doesnβt feel like journalism that adds much to the conversationβ¦
I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ
Iβm not sure anyone who could be described as βwokeβ is writing books using the word wokeβ¦
Almost every time I wonder aloud why some terrible staircase or path was built on the UCSD campus (primarily constructed in the early-mid 60s), Iβm informed Iβm looking at anti-protest architecture. Sometimes things work poorly because theyβre meant to.
Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.
Don't look up!
Sounds like you have a photic sneeze reflex! @llepodcast.bsky.social
Unfortunately it seems like holding people accountable for abuse is mostly just a massive inconvenience for some people and the rest is just an abstraction for them.
Not really an argument but currently listening to Unsleeping City S2 which feels very on topic
Did you just get THAT misleading text from the Republicans?
If you believe that out of state billionaires have no place in Missouri politics, ignore them and sign a petition to defend your constitutional rights as soon as you can! Who listens to random texts anyways?
Also a big thank you to @adriandaub.bsky.social @mattxiv.bsky.social and Sarah Marshall for a phenomenal @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social live show, you all rocked it!
Had the amazing opportunity tonight to meet a personal hero, the inimitable @moiradonegan.bsky.social , who it turns out is even cooler in person!! Thanks for a great show and for being so kind!
Ah yes; everyoneβs favorite science communicatorβ¦ Tom Yum @tomlumperson.bsky.social
I love discovering a Wikipedia page which was clearly written with love.
We donβt need be measured in our tone when calling out assaults on pluralistic democracy.
I think this points to a tendency towards many smaller concessions in the face of an overwhelming onslaught on truth, but also to an unwillingness to say that you didnβt and donβt have to be at all radical to feel that what Kirk said and did was pretty evil.
A little worrying to see newsrooms (ie NPR today) conceding Charlie Kirkβs murder as an act of βleft wing political violenceβ in the face of the admin repeatedly claiming that, when the evidence we have is at best indicative of an anti-right wing bent, which is not actually the same.
@xylafoxlin.bsky.social so many congratulations on getting your medical and for all your hard work helping so many others do the same in an unfair systemβ weβve all been rooting for you!
The US government suing for the right to racially profile brown folks, winning the court case, and then self righteously denying any racial profiling in ICE operations is preposterous. Theyβre asking you to deny the evidence of your own eyes.
There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I donβt care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.
