I remember this era on MTV. It was before TRL launched when they would just play the Sex and Candy music video over and over. (The Verve’s music video where the lead singer just shoulder charges pedestrians with increasing intensity was also on heavy rotation.)

I’m always amazed by how much some of these galactic images resemble biological images.
I used to imagine as a kid that we were just little specks living on a particle inside the body of a much larger person, & inside us, that we contain universes.
That this repeats ad infinitum in both directions

Yes. Yes it did.
So did Hillary, when she said during the debate that all 18 agencies tasked with national security concurred that Donald Trump was compromised by the Russians.
I literally pulled my car off the road, my jaw dropped so hard as I listened to that on my commute home.

I found this discussion really interesting (and validating of some of the thoughts I’ve been having about certain aspects of politics for a while).
ICYMI: I sat down with political scientist @samuel-bagg.bsky.social to discuss the crisis in our information environment and its roots in social identity.
The cure for misinformation is not more information or smarter news consumers
Political scientist Samuel Bagg explains why social identity is at the root of the misinformation crisis -- which calls for something deeper than factchecking.

I think that man spent an inordinate amount of time stuffed into a locker, and while with most kids, I’d be angry with the kid who put him there, in the case of #TemuGoebbelsNosferatu, it’s a good bet he did something mindbogglingly abhorrent to deserve the pushback.

I can remember the summer our family piloted a narrow boat on the Avon River in Britlandia,we had a guest onboard, and he and my parents were sitting in the little living room aboard the boat chatting over tea, and my mom was telling this gentleman, “Oh, my daughter can draw.”

And then you add, “While I’m doing that, I’m going to kick you in the nads, & prove you stole vital national secrets (including nuclear ones) then had your creepy, doll-eyed, ne’re-do-well son-in-law sell them to the Saudis to get a $2 billion dollar payday, while you tried to overthrow the gov’t.“
If you're bargaining from a place of "don't punch me in the face too bad, sir," you're gonna get punched in the face, and they're probably gonna do it harder and harder.
If your bargaining position is, "I will expose your pedophile friends and you will face tribunals," the conversation changes.
