theory is the effort to take the temperature of the age w/o instruments+in a situation in which we are not even sure there is so coherent a thing as an age any longer. an enormous claes oldenburg thermometer as long as whole city block might serve as some mysterious symptom of the process. jameson

no, he is just lying about his beliefs and motivations. him and the rest of the fascists just want to eliminate the state, plunder the treasury, and build something worse in its place. why do people keep acting like anything this guy posts is an earnest reflection of his inner life?

look i hate musk and would love to see him become like mussolini but “he’s stupid” just isn’t right, like trump he has a combination of privilege and cunning by which to worm his way into institutions and cling to power, which is really all he needs to be incredibly destructive in this situation

Happy Birthday to WEB Du Bois, who wrote about the wildly important concept of psychological wages of whiteness in the first history of Reconstruction, Black Reconstruction in America, which he messily dedicated to his mistress, Dr. Virginia Alexander, and not his wife, Nina Gomer #BookSky

really hate to see the world lurching back towards imperialism when you need less than ten seconds with a book to see that it was manifestly awful for everyone involved. we are going to have to learn all the same lessons over again

VOLITION - Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

Anaspides, an unusual #crustacean from the superorder #syncarida. These animals are really cool and are frequently found in alpine pools in Tasmania, though syncaridans are also found in streams in cave systems and groundwater elsewhere. #ArthropodArt

Ding ding ding! Watch this. He’s laying it out. My team at Stanford Internet Observatory documented this process meticulously, over & over again, in 2020. The R machine retaliated against us. When Elon bought X, it became even sharper. The rest of the political spectrum needs to get in the game.

I do not know a single person in DC who has not been directly negatively impacted by the "sudden disassembly in flight" of the U.S. government. In most cases the impact is major and professional and pyschological as well as economical. You might shrug it off and say, "It's about time."
