In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

Fittingly, was just writing about how Sea has really been the leader in articulating the idea of a dramaturg in Actual Play, & @transplanarrpg.bsky.social project as a whole resolutely insists on its vision, in a Bowie style (or at least that’s the intertext on my mind — there are others)

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”
First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.
With me so far? 1/x

imagine explaining a $1.3 million bill for medical care to somebody who lives in a country where people aren't required to do things like ration their insulin.
ACA being better than what we had before is a different statement than saying it is a good and durable health care policy regime
ACA being better than what we had before is a different statement than saying it is a good and durable health care policy regime
Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again?
I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale.
That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?

HitchBOT celebrated by hundreds in Elfreth's Alley, 10 years after its demise there
Its journey was cut short in Philadelphia 10 years ago, but its legacy was commemorated this October — and could continue to be.

I want to remind everyone that "cringe" as an insult emerged from the same sort of anti-social Internet culture that 4chan emerged and we should reject it as an insult.
After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.
Resistance Is Cringe
But it’s also effective.
