Ever notice how nonspecific environmentalist perspectives can be at their loudest when they are impotent? That's right, colorless green ideas DO sleep furiously

So even when the reskilling is successful there's a strong sense of malaise which leaves you vulnerable to feelings of toxic nostalgia. Going back to that op-ed, being a copyeditor sucks. Writing a novel sucks. Just writing 30k words gives me heartburn sometimes.

and the root error is always positing some kind of totally autonomous — if not autarkic — hermetically sealed personality that acts as a sort of perpetual motion machine. never needing any external power source, complete without any dependencies, isolated from environment
It’s really pretty strange how many people seem to believe that things that are good in life and quality of life very broadly conceived are or ought to be entirely irrelevant to your happiness and enjoyment of life.
could the “you should be able to be happy living anywhere, and if you’re not able to do that, it’s a skill issue” contingent tell that to my winter seasonal depression, please?

because MAN would that simplify my life if the cure, which I somehow never thought of before, was that easy

I am being gradually converted to British style unwritten constitutionalism because "it works how we all think it works" is a much more sensible system than this "if you read the constitution backwards while standing on one leg and divide every third word by the number of vowels" bullshit.
I regret to inform you there’s a new post telling us we’re rubes who’ve missed the obvious & clear meaning of the Const’n for a century.

This is the type of post you make when your goal is to juice engagement from those who want nothing more than to be told their policy goals are const’l commands.

One of the dismal realities of the human being is that we thing achievements and agency will make us happy but when we arrive at that destination we find that what we actually wanted was validation from others

In Home Alone (1990) all the cops wear Chicago flags and badges, despite the movie being unambiguously set in the suburbs. This is because the movie is set in an alternate universe where the city and county were forced by the state of Illinois to consolidate municipal services

I feel sorry for those Polish troops they sent to Iraq in 2003. The deal was that Poland would pretend to believe aluminum tubes posed a threat to the safety of the free world in exchange for us being there when Ivan came knocking and now the president is like “Well, Ivan *does* have a point.”

People used to say that "South Africa is like a Zebra: if you shoot the white, you will hurt the black" as an argument against sanctions (which did more than anything else to bring down apartheid).

yea ICE is very transparently the praetorian guard of MAGA and if the republic is to survive it must be smashed to a million pieces
You don't need to be an anarchist to think that ICE should be abolished

You can be a good governance liberal who thinks that the agency has demonstrated an institutional disrespect for the Constitution, and therefore advocate for unwinding the agency and rolling its functions into a revived INS.
ICE have revealed themselves to be nothing more than the partisan militia of MAGA. When Trump became president, he did not "execute Order 66." They have been yearning for the Day of the Rope since their founding, and all Trump did was give free rein to their basest impulses.

I think it's helpful to differentiate "direct aid" where resources flow in one direction, from mutual aid, in which assistance is understood to be multidirectional (the "mutual" piece).

A good example of actual mutual aid in practice is the #RepairCafe model. I might bring in a ripped pair of...

I think this actually signifies the typical fatigue the average person in the US has over seeing “they’re still fighting?” if they think about that region at all. Typical does not mean good, but it is what it is. Neither Zionism nor anti Zionism per se is actually all that common.
