it’s breathtaking to see how this country is in decline by every possible metric
Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

The old bit about how all rappers want to play ball and all players want to rap but now all posters think they should be politicians and all politicians just want to post.

As care gets more expensive, and as shortages of human care increase, desperate people may be willing to buy the lie that AI is a reasonable substitute. But really, they'll just be getting, at best, a cheap knock-off, while the wealthy hoard what remains of human care for themselves. 1/

“At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They don't get off on the sex. They get off on the suffering.”
Whenever abuse starts getting exposed in a culture of abuse, the question posed is "where does it all end?" to avoid asking “*how* will we make this end?”
But I'll answer. Where does it end?
It ends when we excise the abusive ice, from hummock to bummock. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

Where It Ends
Answering the enabler's constant question, and contemplating the depraved depths of the billionaire mindset.

Call me whatever you want, but it sure seems like a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis seized control of a global superpower…and now they’re murdering Americans in the street, arresting journalists, and setting up a network of concentration camps across the United States.

btw the civility panic a few years ago was about precisely this: the ability to have polite conversations about how black people are racially inferior in public without criticism or backlash bsky.app/profile/hann...
Jeffrey Epstein sent a link to the white nationalist podcast The Right Stuff, whose core hosts played an active role in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally. He did so in February 2016. Before TRS made national news, really.
Genuinely bizarre.

So basically, this is affirmative action for unqualified white people.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
