Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

Pure blood and soil fascism to be sure. But also by this definition, no one who came to this country after 1865 has a viable claim on being an American. Not the Trumps, not the DeSantis’ or the Rubios or the Cruzes, the Ramaswamys and not Vance’s own Indian-American wife and mixed race children.
JD Vance is suggesting that neo-Nazis and the descendents of confederate soldiers have more claim to being part of this nation because they're white than immigrants who believe in the Declaration of Independence.
This kind of blood and soil nationalism is indistinguishable from classic fascism.

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!
the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

That he will eventually die and I want to see Bluesky celebrate like we did when Kissinger finally went to fucking hell.
For the Fourth of July, post something that keeps you going.
“I should not be afraid to go with a hundred Whigs against a thousand Tories, were they to attempt to get into arms. Every Tory is a coward; for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of Toryism; and a man under such influence, though he may be cruel, never can be brave.”

One of my favorite Western States storylines this year are the six men over 70 - one of which is 80! - hoping to finish 100 miles by the 30 hour cutoff. Shoutout to Jan Vleck, Michel Poletti (of UTMB), Nick Bassett (80 y/o!), Jim Howard (1981/83 winner), Ed Willson and Michael Koppy. #wser

This is the Canadian girlfriend of fearmongering! Asserting experience or authority based on invention or exaggeration for the purpose of burnishing one's public image or buttressing patently ridiculous statements.
The best claim this jet setting Atlantic staff writer has to living a life informed by the Soviet experience is through the woman his brother married.

Freedom, and living in a free country, just is when the default for everything is that you can do as you please so long as it doesn't hurt other people.
Not everything is a privilege! The default is supposed to be that people and organizations get to do what they want unless government has a principled, lawful basis to stop them. Should go without saying, and yet
