Blogging about the wonderful world of fiction and the humanities. Well really mostly posting now.
Pinned
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.
Again this all seems like just becoming an editor but somehow worse.

I'm sorry but if I'm having to edit the robot written porn this much and give it this many details, why am I not just actually writing the porn myself?

Something wrong Hon, you've barely touched your meat and ferments.
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!
When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.
There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

This is been the focus of a lot of my writing the last few years; there is a lot of room for overlap in goals and tactics between Liberal Zionists and anti-Zionists (depending on definition), but that requires actually seeing the Occupation as an urgent, existential issue that *must* be addressed.
This is in part why I don't necessarily think the divide in the US is strictly between doctrinaire Zionism and anti-Zionism, though these can be useful self sorting mechanisms, but between those who simply think Israel *has the right* to rule over Palestinians and those who do not.
The underlying political consensus prior to Oct 2023 in the US was that Palestine was an internal issue which the Israelis were entitled to managing for the indefinite future. This was the view of all in DC but literally just a handful. The divide was on the *preference* for *how* Israel managed it.

Okay part of picking up Trump voters has to be that she looks like if Karoline Leavitt had an intact soul behind her eyes - cross necklace and all
The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.
Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points.

There’s something wonderful how there’s deep Rankin-Bass Universe holiday lore and massive crossovers, but also they didn’t give a shit and contradicted themselves freely
I like how this movie pretends these Miser characters were always part of the Santa Claus canon

I'm an adjunct and my "other source of income" is...adjuncting at a couple of other schools
This headline in The Chronicle makes it sound like most adjuncts are independently wealthy when the reality is they have to hold second and third jobs just to make ends meet.

Big fan of “epstein clique”, much more nicely condemnatory than set imo
Plus a nice wink to the warlord and military clique era

Becoming a broken record on this, but "Epstein class" just strikes me as bad class analysis. I think "set" is probably a better term (maybe even criminal syndicate lol) but it doesn't encompass the political-economic class writ large...

Lotta conservatives posing this 'info'. I can't speak to its accuracy but I've taken to asking them - why does Trump need an extra $75 billion to deport fewer people than Obama did?

What *about* that 5-year-old US citizen? Finish the sentence, Congressman. What does that hypothetical child have to do with Liam Ramos? Spell it out. Don’t just say “but what about our kids” and stop there. Explain your logic.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

Basically they are mad at Iowa City for being lib. It makes me mad that no one seems to think that Republicans have any obligation to outreach to the college educated. Imagine if Dems tried to bludgeon rural areas into being more liberal. It all comes back to our insane biases about who has agency.
