Really bad that “antisemitism” is now being deployed to the same racist, exclusionary, and cynical ends as phrases like “wokeness,” “cancel culture” and “DEI.” Among other things, antisemitism is actually real.

I agree with what @jbouie.bsky.social said yesterday: If you decide not to release something and you take a tax write-off, it should pass into the public domain, since effectively the public has now subsidized it and you are claiming you can’t make money from it anyway.

"When politicians say [migrants are overwhelming local infrastructure], it is typically because they have refused to invest in that infrastructure for their own citizens long before the arrival of any migrants.

I finally wrote an essay about the rise of the far-right in Germany, for DIE ZEIT. It’s called “The Hatred Is Accelerating” and you can read it in English here: www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... and in German here: www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... - if of interest, please share.

sometimes i think about the unbelievable waste of talent that goes into systematically abusing women out of entire industries and the stuff we'll never read and the perspectives we'll never hear and the music that will never drop and i get so angry i could bite a football in half.
EXCLUSIVE: I interviewed a dozen women about what it was like to be a staffer at Jann Wenner’s Rolling Stone (in light of his recent comments.) They described an office culture of “palpable fear” that was “a horrible place for women.”

![The Handbasket: “I heard screaming matches—[men] full-on yelling and screaming at people in their offices, slamming doors,” Jennifer said. “Stuff that after a while you're like, ‘oh, okay, well, so-and-so is on a tear again. I guess we'll just avoid them today even though I have to go in and take them these rounds.’” Wenner, according to her, did not make any attempts to lower the temperature.
She remembered one especially hostile encounter with a male editor. “One time somebody—one male editor—when I was bringing up something, [he said] something to the effect of, ‘well, it's a good thing your opinion doesn't matter,’” she said. “And it was so heated and rude, and it was somebody I worked with like, 14 hours a day.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreibwkdqwh2swcgetszfytwyzy6utzxsskdollnvwqk276io4ohezsu@jpeg)

Most venture capital companies will buy something, load it up with debt, sell off the pieces, and run while it has to declare bankruptcy. They basically dismantle real companies to play bank games and make money.
And we keep allowing this for some reason.
