The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Wishing a conflict-free and low-stress Thanksgiving to the adult children of divorce, the eldest daughters, the overworked moms, the estranged siblings, the secretly queer grandchildren, the orphans, and the survivors spending today alone.

This is the thing: in a climate-catastrophic world, nowhere will be permanently safe. Nowhere. We will have to move and move and move. So all of the posturing of various nations about keeping immigrants out is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I am really losing patience with Americans who treat their elected officials like celebrities they have to defend, instead of representatives they have to hold responsible. Grow the fuck up. Millions of lives are at stake.

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

The more MTG can split MAGA the better. I just would strongly recommend no one on our side actually trust her! She could flip back again quickly if she sees it in her best interest to do so.
This just in: Marjorie Taylor Greene is still as vile, bigoted and despicable as before.

Donald Trump said “quiet piggy” to a female reporter because she dared to ask about the Epstein files, and as bad as that is, the fact that none of her colleagues defended her, is even worse.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.
