One of the best, most useful pieces I’ve read about political thinking and the ongoing USA crisis bsky.app/profile/andr...
I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.
You don't have to swallow frogs
Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

A few days ago, Trump publicly backed down from sending the National Guard to Chicago, at least for now.

This is a HUGE win, and we should take it. It shows resistance WORKS.

Jim Henson is a major influence on me and one qoute that always stuck with me was something like "My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there". I like to think that isnt a unique or rare desire to have, but this week reminds me how it isn't something everyone wishes or does.

we're on the precipice of a universal antiviral medication, mRNA technology is out here curing cancers every other month, HIV is cureable AND preventable, renewables generate more energy now than fossil fuels worldwide and and more cost-effective, coral reefs are growing back all over the world rn
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
