Interesting that so many people are watching K-Pop Demon Hunters while there’s a TACO Demon dRumpf in the White House

Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation.

It sends a message that “people impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice
Tweet from @tomgara Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

If you've been trying to put words to why all the "big tent" talk about "winning the middle" to defeat fascism that's coming from allegedly moderate alleged pragmatists seems like such wrong-minded nonsense, well I wrote all about that.

Winning the Middle
What makes for a purity test? What makes for a big tent? Unpacking the apparently pragmatic demand that we Speak Low about fascists to beat fascism.

I’m late to this interview with Tony Gilroy but I think his answer, about why most art is progressive, hits the nail on the head. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/o...
Gilroy: You could say: Why has Hollywood for the last 100 years been progressive or been liberal? I think it’s much larger. I’ll go further and say: Why does almost all literature, why does almost all art that involves humans trend progressive? Let’s stick with Hollywood. Making a living as an actor or as a writer or a director — without the higher degree of empathy that you have, the more aware you are of behavior and all kinds of behavior, the better you’re going to be at your job. We feed our families by being in an empathy business. It’s just baked in. You’re trying to pretend to be other people. The whole job is to pretend to be other, and what is it like to look from this? People may be less successful over time at portraying Nazis as humans, and that may be good writing or bad writing, and there may be people that have an ax to grind. But in general, empathy is how I feed my family. And the more finely tuned that is, the better I am at my job. That is what actors do: I’m going on Broadway, I’m playing a villain for six months. I got to live in that. I’m playing the slave, I’m playing the fisherman, I’m playing the nurse, I’m the murderer — you have to get in there. You have to live lives through other people. I think that the simple act of that transformation and that process automatically gives you what I would describe as a more generous and progressive point of view. It just has to. And I don’t see how you can buy, if you’re going to reissue the Hardy Boys or try to twist a knot and say that Melville or the Coen brothers made a piece of right-wing art because you see something in there — I think it really misses the larger point of the struggle that that movement is going to be up against. Does that make any sense to you?

Every dollar invested in the CTA directly causes $13 of economic activity, if the CTA is forced to cut 40% of its budget because Uber killed the transit funding bill it will shrink the Illinois economy by over 9 billion dollars.

How Uber killed the future of transit in Illinois, and what you can do about it.

an important thing to remember in the "is this what they voted for" discourse is that the average voter is so fucking dumb that it would bend your understanding of the human mind

Chicagoans (including all in the suburbs): if you are aware of the looming catastrophe our transit is about to face (40% shutdown; some L lines closing), you are going to have to start telling all your friends about it.

And get ready to yell at state legislators. And also, Gov. Pritzker.
