Blogging about the wonderful world of fiction and the humanities. Well really mostly posting now.

To the extent my country is exceptional it is because we are a country of all people and none. The world made manifest. A nation of nations. A people united in truly radical ideas of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Any attempt to undo this is treason and also seeks to make us ordinary.

There's a great joke in the Bartimaeus Trilogy about how you can always tell the mountebanks and hedge-wizards because they have long beards and robes and surround themselves with Mystical and Arcane Regalia, whereas the really powerful magicians take pride in looking like accountants.
We all agree the normal presenting mages are the scariest ones, right? Like, the cleric who prays to Mecca five times a day in the dungeon or the warlock who babbles endlessly about the abyss are WYSIWYG. You don’t know what that perfectly polite and professional wizard did to get that power.

if national DSA can't handle the contradictions and tensions of supporting Zohran they never had a prayer of keeping AOC onside and frankly I think their 'dirty break' dreams are utterly delusional because you have to *build the party first*
more addressing the other site than anything I've seen here, but Zohran never once promised to spearhead a class-struggle mayoralty or be absolute in his anti-zionism and if the DSA left was going to condition their support on such they should have said so instead of claiming his victory as theirs

it's genuinely heart-breaking to me that Stalin had American communists doing protests in front of the White House against Lend-Lease until he was suddenly the newest beneficiary
watched Animal Farm a week ago and even in adaptation Orwell's disillusionment and despair over what Stalin did to Lenin's dream is palpable

*whispers* this is why I kinda think “cleaning up global sport” or “developing sports consumers global awareness against the efforts of media and state” are legitimate sites of struggle

oh so they lied again
Asked on AF1 if he’s going to fire the staffer who allegedly posted the Obamas video, Trump says: “No, I looked at it. I saw it, and I just looked at the first part.” He says he “didn’t see” that part. Will he apologize? “No, I didn't make a mistake.”

As someone who loves to cook, most of the time my goal is "tasty, vegetables, protein, leftovers." Restaurant-level is for special occasions.
a thing that is kind of dawning on me in the latest round of food discourse is that lots of people seem to think that your everyday home cooking should be like restaurant food and maybe i'm actually inept but, like, if that's what you think no wonder you think cooking is too hard/expensive

One of my most woke opinions: France needs to pay back all the money they made Haiti pay for their independence (with interest).
I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Lmao the SYMBOLISM
American star Alysa Liu overcame a delay en route to the Milano Skating Arena caused by Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade and finished second in the women’s short program at the Olympics team event.
“We almost didn’t make it,” her coach said.
“We almost didn’t make it,” her coach said.
Nothing could stop the U.S. figure skating team. Not even JD Vance’s motorcade.
Alysa Liu and world champion dance team of Madison Chock and Evan Bates have the Americans leading the team event after day one.

Sometimes I sympathize with Trump, because it probably is genuinely very confusing why you can talk about purging the lifeblood of the nation of foreign filth and nobody cares, and then you post some dumb racist video and everyone starts yelling at you.
