it's that time of year again when my dog, already a neurotic bundle of nerves, is stressed out of his mind because he thinks we are now in a war zone when, in fact, the neighbor's kids are just setting off firecrackers a bit early

Everyone with their best songs of the year and I haven’t seen a single one of you single out a French song about polyamory the chorus of which goes, I swear to god, “vroum-vroum j’suis une polly pocket”

True story:

When I got my first copies of the UK hardcover of DE, I couldn't figure out what was going on on the jacket, so I asked two of my production colleagues.

me: Is that debossing?

colleague 1 (peering through a loupe): No, it's clear foil.

colleague 2: Oh, I love her on The Crown.

Pound/dollar for pound/dollar, the good people can do in buying and wiping out debt (especially medical debt!) is astonishing, and it baffles me that more people with very medium amounts of wealth don’t do it when it would mean so much to people who are drowning

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

från David Graebers "Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You!"

davidgraeber.org/articles/are...
Do you really believe those things you tell your children (or that your parents told you)? “It doesn’t matter who started it.” “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” “Clean up your own mess.” “Do unto others…” “Don’t be mean to people just because they’re different.” Perhaps we should decide whether we’re lying to our children when we tell them about right and wrong, or whether we’re willing to take our own injunctions seriously. Because if you take these moral principles to their logical conclusions, you arrive at anarchism. Take the principle that two wrongs don’t make a right. If you really took it seriously, that alone would knock away almost the entire basis for war and the criminal justice system. The same goes for sharing: we’re always telling children that they have to learn to share, to be considerate of each other’s needs, to help each other; then we go off into the real world where we assume that everyone is naturally selfish and competitive. But an anarchist would point out: in fact, what we say to our children is right. Pretty much every great worthwhile achievement in human history, every discovery or accomplishment that’s improved our lives, has been based on cooperation and mutual aid; even now, most of us spend more of our money on our friends and families than on ourselves; while likely as not there will always be competitive people in the world, there’s no reason why society has to be based on encouraging such behavior, let alone making people compete over the basic necessities of life. That only serves the interests of people in power, who want us to live in fear of one another.

För en tid sedan sa Isabella Löwengrip att Moderaterna måste bli bättre på att låta empatiska när de säger till väljarna att de vill sätta barn i fängelse. Jag har skrivit om hur sossarna kommer kunna klå dem med hästlängder i just den sporten.

Jag önskar verkligen att ni alla läser denna granskning. Den visar hur demokratins infrastruktur - i Europa - steg för steg säljs ut till Musk, Thiel och andra tech-oligarker. Och Sverige är på väg att gå samma väg. Det är livsfarligt.

Re the below I think of this Hannah Arendt quote a lot, and what role media is playing in the dissemination of lies:
Hannah Arendt in The Origins of Totalitarianism: ”In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the Point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
