This album by Dwarfs of East Agouza on Constellation Records surprised me. A mix of psychedelia, krautrock, and polyrhythms that could be on a Bill Laswell recording. Very cool stuff

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

I assumed everyone understood the moment the shutdown affected air travel, it would end.
It’s mordantly funny that the Democratic leadership had no plan to hold the line when this entirely predictable event happened.

The important thing about having a political class is that it should be really bad at doing politics. What you want are people who love graft, insider trading, abject cowardice, and so on.

What I hate most about AI in higher ed is that it is a sustained assault on the positive social relations between teachers and students.
People keep telling me it’s good for some things. Maybe it is.
But I don’t value new technology over unconditional positive regard and building trust!

Is there a term for the subset of weird fiction writers who were literally just weird guys?
I’m thinking of people like Arthur Machen, Robert Aickman, Karl Edgar Wagner—basically scarred conservative oddballs

I remember reading a book about the war on terror that opened with Cheney driving around after 9/11 with some sort of full body protective suit.
The US got where it is because of the abject cowardice of people like him, people who still make up the majority of the US political class

My gut reaction to all these announcements of “AI” driven layoffs is that it’s ideological cover for recession-driven layoffs
