- Okay, so the less magical thing about BlueSky is having to re-block and re-mute all the do-nothing Rose Twitter lunatics who unironically use "Bernied" as a verb and whose entire identity consists of blaming their own ignorance and inadequacies on Dem "centrism." That is tiring.

- Reposted by A Woe That Is Madness100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.
- I can't reply further to Carl, but I'm curious now. Aside from Trump's threats and extortion of supposed NATO "allies," is there some other more obvious (and implied to be risible, AFAICS) reason NATO would be singled out by "Hands Off" as a threatened institution? Is there something I'm missing?
- Since media takes about the supposedly done-deal "death" and "erasure" of DEI in America have started circulating, it's worth remembering that it's really not that simple... and it's not over. For the simple reason that DEI actually makes sense. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

- Reposted by A Woe That Is MadnessForgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

- Reposted by A Woe That Is MadnessI think about this a lot when it comes to 19th and 20th century figures. Which popular “geniuses” from American history would’ve been completely exposed as lunatics coasting on wealth and privilege if they were given a 24/7 way to communicate unfiltered with the world?

- Reposted by A Woe That Is MadnessWhen I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

- Okay. The Electric State isn't that bad. It's not Great Cinema: but it has some charm, it's a non-terrible way to pass a couple of hours, it doesn't deserve the savaging. Also: there's a weird personal animus against its female star going on that simply can't be justified by a movie this innocuous.
