The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

One of my fears as a translator of old things in a language with no living native speakers to check with is of looking at something that says “yo he high as fuck” and translating it as “alleluia he is risen.”

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

Right-wingers really really want you to forget this distinction. They want you to join them in separating the good people (who deserve rights) from the bad people (who don't). They are incapable of imagining moral universalism. They regret the Enlightenment. They are this country's worst people.

Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.” He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.
