"politicians in the late american republic used threats of jail or execution as grist for fundraising" will be one of those things that undergraduates taking upper-level history seminars 100 years from now simply won't believe

In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

A recent commission of a D&D party in Avernus. I went really hard with the fisheye perspective in this pic, I think it was worth it.

still shaking my head that the politics knowers suggested running pro-life candidates in ohio and missouri, two states that hate democrats and voted to enshrine abortion rights in their constitution
right, and the thing about selling out on abortion is that, really, is ezra klein selling anything out himself? no, he's selling someone else out.
but I also think that Klein et al regard "selling out on abortion" as respectable and "selling out on antivax" as tinfoil-hat-humiliating, and that's why the "dems may have to make hard choices . . . like running pro-life candidates" is such a refrain even though it's from another era altogether

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

i swear to god in 15 years the rest of the world is going to look at the US like it's some backwards mountain kingdom still using mule-powered looms
I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

american health care is fundamentally based on insurance in one form or another and every time it gets tweaked a lot of people reveal that they do not understand or do not support the concept of insurance
Remember that insurance is actually a thing you hope never to use, and then read this critique.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

I just finished Run With The Hunted 4 by @authorizedmusings.bsky.social, and I love how different all of these are.
I have never read a book series that could be as easily adapted into a TV-Show as this.
If you love heist shows like Leverage, you will absolutely love this series of books.
