Walls are not gateways, and they hinder entrance as well as exit. It won’t be long now before the apparatus of state is used to keep us in, with the same violence it has deployed to keep others out.

As of today, the only person in this Daily Penn visual that hasn't been fined millions of dollars or convicted of a felony is Luigi Mangione, believe it or not

This sounds like a Lita Ford song.
“I look down at the crashing swell. Alone at the after-party, a kind of honeymoon in hell. I am on the list, a bit of grave misfortune. I am in the New York Post, even worse. The ink is black, the pages yellow. Everything, some kind of lie. What of doubt? Scientists cannot see the soul.”

I reviewed Olivia Nuzzi's American Canto for Slate. There's far less RFK Jr. in it than you'd expect.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I have a counter proposal for Joe Lonsdale. It’s time to bring back guillotines for billionaires, to protect our most vulnerable.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom, for any office.
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

the civilians can go to prison, but the officers need to hang. they were all told when they commissioned that these specific rules were high stakes, and the penalty for willfully violating them was a noose or a firing squad.

I am begging us in media to stop mealy-mouthed avoidance of bias with phrases like "in a controversial move."

When what we actually mean is "in a move antithetical to every scientific finding and medical recommendation." "A move that will cause both illness and death."

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Take all your fucking AI tools and cram them up your ass. I am so tired of having to spend twice the amount of time to do something simple, just for the privilege of propping up a fake market bubble.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
