If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

Little shit like buttons moving around feels like nothing is stable, which I think echoes and in a small way exacerbates actual structural instability in society

On the brink of potentially astonishing breakthroughs in immune therapy, up to and including curing cancer, and instead we’re going to re-litigate germ theory and vaccination. Unreal, world-changing levels of stupidity
"Kennedy, in a bestselling 2021 book, explicitly rejected germ theory...in favor of 'miasma theory,' which pediatrician and vaccine inventor Paul Offit describes as 'a long-abandoned medical theory that holds that diseases are caused by poisonous vapors.'" 👇
Remember RFK Jr.'s remark about how he was "not scared of a germ" because he "used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats"?
Funny thing about that: Of *course* he's not scared of a germ. Because he doesn't believe in the germ theory of disease.
Really. Literally.

Again, aside from the mercantilism that will continue until morale improves, a central reason the GOP is repeatedly terrible at managing the economy at both the state & national levels, is that they believe public sector jobs aren't real jobs, & they demonize/defund govt every time they hold power.
One reason the GOP is repeatedly terrible at managing the economy is that they believe public sector jobs aren’t real jobs, & they demonize/defund the govt - at both the state & federal levels - every time they hold power. Only difference this time is how wildly illegally they’ve done it via DOGE.
Federal government employment is down more than 270k since the start of the year amidst DOGE cuts—that's nearly 9% of the Fed workforce
The large drops in recent months are caused by many workers who've been on deferred resignation becoming officially unemployed

Okay, THIS is the critique I was waiting for.
I have been really fascinated by the way people talked about this movie, and this author went for the jugular. It’s not just that the director made a weird horny indulgent movie, it’s that she gutted the politics.

Wuthering Heights is at its heart a story of class and race. Emerald Fennell has got it all wrong | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
By turning the novel into just a corset-heaving love story, the director has stripped it of what made it so boundary-pushing, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

Arendt suggests Eichmann is a clown *rather than* a monster. But why not both—a clown AND a monster? It seems to me a key part of the horror of fascism is precisely its pervasive clownishness. There's a mind-rending indignity in having to take seriously rulers who are fundamentally unserious.

Linda Davis was killed by ICE today. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia.
Her name is Linda Davis and she was killed by our government.

You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe

We Cannot Win unless we say immigration is good.
The thing that made the US economy great is immigration. For real. It was our superpower: birth rates fall as countries become more rich but we welcome immigrant. And our university and tech economic sectors are strong due to immigrant talent.
