To say it took a LOT to make this book happen is an understatement. But I'm so glad it's finally here.

Please read, review, share...I hope you love it!

Mostly just sharing because this image made me giggle at a time that I really needed it.
And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Mathematical text analysis confirms what the humans knew: we wrote a whole new book! 😁📚😁 Check out @everickert.bsky.social's thread if you're curious about how different More Than Two, Second Edition is from its predecessor. #morethantwobook #morethantwo
Today I asked ChatGPT to compare the PDFs of More Than Two (2014) and More Than Two, Second Edition (2024) to see how much of the text was actually changed, and whether the answer lined up with my and @andreazanin.bsky.social’s off-the-cuff estimate of ~95%.

“People [in tech jobs] worry that not being seen as uncritical AI cheerleaders will be a career-limiting move…for those who aren't insiders in the tech industry, it's vital that you understand that you've been presented with an extremely distorted view about what tech workers really think about AI”
Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

Over the last few months I've somehow gotten sucked into watching a bunch of serialized Tudor-era historical drama, and I gotta say, Mary I doesn't get the attention she deserves in fiction about that era. Mary I was the original Anakin Skywalker.

A prepandemic study found that if WA adopted Idaho's tax system, we'd have at least another $9B per year coming into state coffers, making it significantly easier to ride out Trump 2.0.
Washington Tax Revenue Would Be Double If It Was Idaho
Washington state relies heavily on a sales tax for state revenue. More than 40 states in the union rely on both a sales tax and an income tax. Now there...

Trump 2.0 has really exposed how brittle and broken the West Coast states' tax systems are. WA, OR, and CA all have a 1% property tax cap. WA has a sales tax but no income tax; OR has an income tax but no sales tax. It is not possible to effectively resist Trump without fixing these tax systems.
The news has sent counties throughout California into a panic. The state is bracing to lose hundreds of millions of dollars for permanent housing, which is the one thing experts agree on as the most effective way to solve homelessness. https://cal.news/4nBKuZI

K-Pop Demon Hunters is legitimately the global cultural phenomenon of 2025 and honestly there are far worse things to be a cultural touchstone this year than a trio of young women fighting literal soul-sucking hegemony through the power of their art
Oh crap, it's back at #1 in movies again today on Netflix too. That's awesome!

My personal remembrance of Jane Goodall is that, as a child and young adult, I always felt a little ashamed about the strength of my love and empathy towards animals, but then she came along and made me feel seen and validated about that.

Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published OTD in 1962.

Very excited that our books will be at the PNBA Fall Tradeshow in Spokane! Huge love to @everickert.bsky.social and Thornapple Press for inviting Nine Ten to share their table (#27!).

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Canada once again looking good only by comparison to the USA.
Congratulations!!! If you’re reading this, you aren’t one of the 10,000+ people murdered by gunshot in the US this year.

The other night I wanted to do an IG live, and it turned out I couldn't because you now need 1,000 followers to do that. I have 943. Consider giving me a follow to help me get to 1,000?
