just saw on here the name of a dude who was fired from an online publication with a large audience for never actually seeing a book that he reviewed.
he was talking up the DSA. it's almost self-parody.
how many of your BlueSky faves would normally populate a college town police blotter?

how many people who use that asinine phrase "motte and bailey" for bait-and-switch could show me on a castle where is the motte and where is the bailey? if so, are they... okay?

Fleetwood Mac is having a cultural resurgence and that's no bad thing
On Friday, Mick Fleetwood surprised fans by playing “Tusk” with the Trojan Marching Band. But Dr. Bartner, the 85-year-old band director who helped bring it to life and earned USC two platinum, albums also surprised Mick. Inside the very L.A. story of the iconic “Tusk.”

The idea initially sounded so far-fetched band directors thought it was a prank. But the collaboration became a sensation.

just read someone post, "Remind me how well median income reflects the experience of the majority of households in this country."
pretty fucking well? the median is the fiftieth percentile, my dude.
it's a smooth curve down to about the 20th percentile, too.

Winter is upon us once again, so I'm going to get out ahead of the Siberia misinformation this year: this dude is not "Russian Santa" Ded Moroz, this is Chysh Khan, the Bull of Winter, in Sakha tradition. He rises from the Arctic seas and spreads winter with his breath.

15 percent of American homes lacked indoor plumbing in 1960.
The idea that everyone in 1955 America lived in a split-level suburban home with two cars and three kids and one income is, quite simply, a fantasy borne of media consumption.

the big brains at the other place are discussing Cairo, Illinois as the site of a "new greenfield city".
because dweebs, the main objections are the New Madrid fault and the Jones Act.
meanwhile, the actual town is emptying out daily. it'll probably have fewer than a thousand people by 2030.

night thoughts as I debate whether or not to take a cough suppressant:
1) the pipeline for entry-level jobs has been disrupted multiple ways (AI, COVID, the death of reading). however, there's still pressing demand for workers beyond entry level. how will that resolve?

as the last little bits of the low-interest rate environment fade away, and creative funding dries up due to cultural fragmentation and hostility, it's striking how second-rate the survivors are.
it makes sense, since excellence is niche.

just saw a pseudo-leftist on here praise the Guardian article, "Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’"
no, Mamdani is off-the-charts radical when it comes to trans rights and immigration compared to Europe...
just like the vast majority of other Democrats.

to be scrupulously fair, most of the country also doesn't understand what insurance is.
a few years ago, I'm on the record as thinking the movement was going to try to come up with a whites-only form of insurance instead.
I guess whites have too many health risks for that.
