I am old enough to remember the vitriol directed at random humanities scholars' work complaining about the totalizing tendencies of capitalism to corrupt, colonize, or co-opt everything. I also lived long enough to read long term coverage of the literal attempt to privatize thinking in the newspaper

I admire your kindness and your joy in travel shines in your posts. I am working from home today, enjoying the company of my pets, and loving the scent of jasmine blooming outside the window.

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.

A major throughline of the Trump administration.

Historians are quite capable of explaining the hellscape that is the US at this particular minute, and its kind of telling that you imagine we won't because it means you haven't been listening or reading

This is a necessary read. Sarah saw this all coming literally a decade ago and no one wanted to listen.

Maternal grandfather was a high-school principal. Paternal grandfather was an artist and musician; during WW2 he worked as a cartographer for the US Navy (engraving and printmaking). His first love was opera, but he did not sing professionally.

Because you can't contribute to a literature if you don't know the literature.

Bezos doesn't want expertise. He wants propagandists and confusion, because that's what the Trump regime and Israel want. Therefore he fires the experts.

Bhattacharya urges measles vaccination as US activity increases

After remaining silent for almost a year about the U.S. measles outbreak, NIH/CDC poseur Jay Bhattacharya is now recommending measles vaccines.

And this is where he gets to see the impact of the destruction of trust in public health and vaccines, for which he is partially responsible.

Trump on school shootings:
We have to get over it.

Trump on dead soldiers:
That’s the way it is.

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

Percy Shelley’s journal: last night I awoke to a creature watching me through my bedroom window with a face white as chalk

Mary Shelley’s journal: read four books today. Learning three languages while discussing astronomy and mathematics. Also Percy tried to chase his creature again.

ZOA honors Biden in 1984; newspaper clipping

Which nation is the question? In the early 1980s, Israeli officials had to tell Biden to chill because his desire to mass murder children was too extreme even for them. Biden described himself as a Zionist foremost, and for decades, the US was not the country he prioritized.

Painful to read this and think about the 2021 coup attempt, which was as blatant as it gets. An utter failure of US elites to seize the moment when everybody saw the threat right in front of their eyes.

If we have history books in the future, they will be unkind.

A judge in AL, Trump appointee Corey Maze, becomes the latest of 33 judges to side with ICE's mandatory detention policy.

He says a man in the US for 27 years, with 6 U.S. citizen kids, has no more due process right than someone who just crossed the border. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The U.S. Press Loves To Pretend Widespread Corruption Doesn't Exist Despite widespread U.S. corruption being anything but subtle, its presence consistently remains absent from corporate media narratives surrounding most U.S. dysfunction.

The latest edition of my newsletter is about a subject I've been obsessed with since I was a snot-nosed 20-something telecom beat reporter:

The U.S. press simply refuses to acknowledge that widespread corruption at the hands of unchecked corporate power is THE reason for most U.S. dysfunction.
