In American high schools, many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. trib.al/gNp7kWK

Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

The point isn’t that people were ever calm and wise, it’s that the systems around us used to dampen emotional spikes, now they amplify them. Human nature is constant, but the information architecture is different, and that shift matters politically.

It feels like we are already moving on from the implications of the Epstein emails.
As Judith Herman observed:
“The knowledge of horrible events periodically intrudes into public awareness but is rarely retained for long. Denial…and dissociation operate on a social as well as an individual level.”

The pro wrestling aspects of Trumpism have been well-developed. But while pro wrestling is only ever scripted, Trumpism always threatens to escape the barriers of the staged.
That's why for me, Bakhtin's "carnivalesque" is the dominant paradigm, not just of Trumpism but of our political moment.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.
Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

Here’s an uncomfortable home truth for people of all stripes, and the battle over who gets to decide upon the next epoch of UK politics: A lot of people are incredibly fucking unhappy, for a variety of reasons, and the victor will be whoever acknowledges that and offers a vision out of despair.

Watergate-level high crimes and misdemeanors happening right in front of us every day
There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
