About me: I write about the perils of corporate disability inclusion. Increasingly, that writing is done in collaboration with my comrade @fractalecho.bsky.social. Here are some recent pieces that I believe make great teaching tools:

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

Man, I'm really tired of being used as a bat to pound on Mamdani. It's offensive, and it paints all Jewish New Yorkers as Fox-watching racists. Those type are certainly among us, but plenty of New York Jews are confident in their selection of Mamdani and unconcerned w/his handling of antisemitism.
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

WELKER: You've also said that President Trump is a despot. Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to democracy?

Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

I've seen in-person politics since the time Jimmy Carter charmed Hunter S Thompson. Which really mattered, then.
Nothing matches the way Mamdani made Trump into his little fan-boy today.
Maybe tomorrow, Trump will realize this and go berserk. But for this moment—it's like when I saw Sandy Koufax.

THIS is why Zohran asked for the meeting.
Q: You have differences when it comes to ICE agents in NYC. How do you reconcile them?
TRUMP: We're gonna work them out. The mayor wants to have a safe New York. We're gonna work together.

OMG—a journalist trying to spark conflict goes back again to Mamdani’s comments about Trump being a “fascist.”
Mamdani starts with his talking point, Trump laughs and pats him on the arm, saying,”That’s okay. You can say it. I don’t mind.”
