Today's challenge: how to find history books on the actual Illuminati--the Bavarian philosophers' club, not the mythologized conspiracy theory. It's a real "gems buried under piles of crap" situation.

Turns out Tidal is only a few dollars more a month for a family plan than Spotify and they have a cool feature where they’re not running ads to recruit for the gestapo.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

In a reasonable world, randomly murdering people in fishing boats with drones would immediately get you impeached, removed from office, and sent to the Hague for war crimes.
The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

I spent a while in a spreadsheet laying out my specific gripe with trying to find history books on specific places recently. I want to start with a big overview, then zoom in on in specific targets. In moat US bookstores, I'm lucky to find just the overview.

I love private health insurance. I love paying $500 a month for the privilege to spend several thousand dollars before they cover anything. I love having a random accountant be able to countermand my doctor. Great system, can't possibly be improved.

Happy Caturday!

African lions spend a majority of their day sleeping, and do so in a variety of positions, from lying on their sides, curled up or, like you see in this photo, looking quite comfortable on their backs!
