I think it’s bad that leaders of companies are visibly up to their gills in stimulants now. Did nobody tell them that, contrary to how they make you feel, those things make you stupid? This is why everyone needs some fuck up friends growing up, to teach them that there’s no good way to abuse drugs.

Thinking a lot about how everyone in media hated The Wire S5's Templeton storyline, which turned out to be one of the most accurate depictions of modern media creatures.

Since 2017, people have had a pretty good idea who was compromised with respect to Jeffrey Epstein.

The issue hasn't been so much a lack of knowledge about individuals, but institutions like the New York Times covering up their own complicity and, frankly, the leaders of both political parties.

I see James Watson has died.

What did Watson discover?

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

If you think about it, Hamilton was one of the most regressive moments in the intersection of politics and art. A single play sought to transmute the shame Liberals had for this country’s history into a nationalism falsely informed by new racial mythologies.

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

Yep, it's really that the Defund the Police slogan worked so well for our side, right? Major national police reform's been a passion of mine for decades. I was ecstatic when finally the issue was getting the attention and support I'd hoped for for so long.

And then it was killed by a dopey slogan.

With Eric Adams dropping out, let’s remember the craziest low-stake moment of his time in the spotlight: when he named the concert where Curtis Mayfield was paralyzed *before* getting to sing a note as the best concert he’s ever been to.

Lots of people are quoting his last post; it hits because I have lived inside it, too. Only in the past few months have I felt able to write about more that my struggle to feel more than aching dread. Just as the world is getting more grim, hope has kindled. I wish I could share it with him.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

The pundit class's notion of "free speech" is predicated on a division of humanity into those who *participate* in debates and those who are the *topic* of debate, where treating one of the former as if they were one of the latter is seen as the direst of all threats to "free speech".

Dang, that's crazy.

Anyway, we moved our annual refugee resettlement fundraiser to Bluesky this spring, after running it entirely on Twitter for over a decade, started with ZERO followers, took our "shrunken" audiences and beat last year's total by $200,000 in a time of massive economic upheaval
One of the biggest mistakes left-of-center pundits and influencers made was decamping to Bluesky. They made themselves irrelevant, shrunk their audiences, and dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate at the precise time we needed it most.
