Pam Bondi makes a lot more sense if you stop thinking of her job as “being the Attorney General” and realize that it’s actually starring in a TV show whose audience is a lone senile psychopath.

It seems to me that it’s less the Mellon Foundation pushing the humanities towards progressivism than the failure of anyone else to get into the funding game.
Like, the right wants to dismantle the humanities. The Mellon Foundation wants to fund them. No real surprise who humanities folks favor.

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

I'm gonna decline to get too stressed out about the plainly unworkable proposal to put 50% of the population in "breeding camps" or whatever, and suggest that if you are stressed about this you probably need to watch less television.

I've said this before, but it makes me insane that in an age of human civilization when the ultra-rich have hoarded over half of all wealth, the go-to visual shorthand for depictions of gluttony is still "fat"

I read this entire novel of a post today, it's incredible. Gaiman interviewed Pratchett early in G's career, & G stayed in touch. Later they cowrote the book by 💾📬 + ☎️. P wrote during the day and G at night. P liked that it was being written 24/7. They also divided the material/each had a focus.

This is incredibly good. I missed it last year, likely because I pushed away anything to do with Gaiman, but this should have been the exception.

Wow, just scanned this essay before work and it looks excellent - detailed, sharply documented, carefully argued. Bookmarked for tonight. Looks like a must-read for anyone interested in Gaiman's latest attempt to rehabilitate himself.

I mean I don’t think most readers can read a book a day, so I’m not really sure what the point of that output is. Especially at scale. A thousand slop factories putting out a third of a million books a year are mostly a boon for authors who can build a brand and stand out against that crapflood.

My first car was my father’s rusting old Chevy S-10 from the mid-80s, and it and my current Prius Prime are the only two cars I have ever unequivocally loved.
getting the NFL in the cultural divorce isn’t enough; the left needs to re-appropriate owning reasonably-sized vintage pickup trucks too. Having a non-asshole RAM/F150 truck is insanely cool and useful and it’s time for everyone to admit this.
