Trump’s greatest victory was convincing those counting pennies that the ones counting stock options could relate to their struggles.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

More #BlackHistoryMonth, in defiance of the Trumpian edict against “nonpatriotic education”:

The lynching era reached its zenith in 1919, the so-called “Red Summer” when “race riots”—a euphemism for ethnic-cleansing events—were all the rage. There were 16 of them.

Terrific piece by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social on what I think is a real (and alarming) trend: the decline of face-to-fact interaction.
Young people are hanging out less — it may be harming their mental health
Could the decline of face-to-face interaction tie together several modern mysteries?

It is a relief to know that our ancestors were worriers — awake in the darkness with crowded minds. Their worry is why we’re here.
Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']:

Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
