I am so relaxed when scrolling here, seeing people's art, not bots in comments, no rage or click bait.
I am more active on Bluesky than the other site now, more fond of the butterflies than that letter.

i would build a left wing propaganda apparatus as well as an ALEC for left wing interests. i would also start a left wing Federalist Society
what offbeat but actually useful cause would you hurl your money at if you were an eccentric billionaire
And I would also rewild the Great Plains. That’s at least a crackpot idea commensurate with the scale of the billionaire problem.

"A strange paradox: in his freshman year, my former student ... was required by Martin to read a book insisting that free society tolerates Nazi protests. A year after [he] graduated, Martin had him arrested for pro-Palestinian protest."

In the aftermath of Helene, scenes of destruction and suffering lay almost everywhere in Swannanoa, N.C. — cars in tree limbs, mangled homes, mud-choked roads and people desperate for water and food.

The problem with media coverage in a nutshell: Trump called for “one really violent day” from police, calls Harris “mentally impaired,” claims that if he loses the country will be destroyed, and makes dozens of other malicious and dishonest statement. Yet Nate Cohn calls it a “calm week.”

The key to understanding this is to remember Trump’s support is not the working class, but the local aristocracy, the car dealership owners et al. who see themselves as Johnny Big Boy Business like Trump’s jmage.
Trump: "I hated to give overtime. I hated it. I shouldn't say this, but I'd get other people in. I wouldn't pay."

people (on here) yelled at me about this when i said it before but a) you need traffic enforcement and b) speed cameras are vastly preferable to cops.
“…when speed cameras are doing the ticketing, the proportion of tickets issued to Black and white drivers aligns closely with their respective share of roadway users. With human enforcement, in contrast, police officers stop Black drivers at a rate that far outstrips their presence on the road.”
Police stop more Black drivers, while speed cameras issue unbiased tickets − new study from Chicago
‘Driving while Black’: Researchers found that Black drivers make up 70% of police traffic stops on roads where only half the drivers are Black.
