Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It ought to be studied how racism alone allowed JD Vance to convince American Republicans, ostensibly the most pro-hunting group of people in the northern hemisphere, that it was some grievous cultural insult for a black man to kill a goose. (And obviously contextually erroneous as well)

There was an interesting question I saw from someone recently that was asking why there are no historians writing "for the other side." Essentially, why are there no "pro-Trump Heather Cox Richardsons?" The answer lies in our training.

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

An under-discussed source of U.S. reactionism is the cross-generational idea of eastern Asians (specifically Chinese) as racially inferior, and to see them blossom while WASP culture cannot shed its 18th century anti-intellectualism is too much of a contradiction to comprehend.

my big objection to whatever scam silicon valley is running - "ai," "self-driving" cars, stanford university, whatever - isn't so much that they're promising things they can't do but that rubes believe they can and included among the rubes are basically all the people who make important decisions

@adapalmer.bsky.social I love your work, and am excited to read Inventing the Renaissance when it releases. That being said, I’ve been reading some essays on exurbe and was wondering if you’d be able to tell me some philosophers you enjoy. I see lots of Plato and Voltaire, any others?
