Opinion | Trump has wrought immense damage on our country. I wonder if any Gen Z kids are feeling remorse for annoying me so much that I voted for him and maxed out to his campaign.

The Americans who travel abroad and the Americans who don’t want those environments at home are best represented by a Venn diagram that resembles an infinity symbol. Only 26% of Americans have been to five or more other countries.

Anyone else remember Jesus’ General? Patriotboy.blogspot.com? Republican Jesus. Good times. I miss that era. I never thought I’d miss that era but damn, I do. Maybe because it was easier to laugh at the bad guys. Now they’re really just dark. It’s so much darker now. Is that why it feels different?

rewatched Revenge of the Sith in theaters for the 20th and unfortunately a universe with spaceships and blasters and droids where also women die in childbirth and the doctors are like “eh, it happens” no longer feels as ludicrously incongruous as it used to

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

I would not be surprised if for a lot of people, one of the reasons they long for some catastrophic change, be it revolution, collapse, or fascism is borne out of a desire for their lives and priorities to become simpler

They are not. We have maybe the worst political system in the developed world, one that makes an unrepresentative sliver of voters with no principles who aren't really paying attention decisive. Every few months, they get profiled like a set of jangling keys and folks want to throw democracy away.

I want to emphasize something here: there is no universe where a President with cratering, sub-40 approvals can just dictate to the American business community. These people do not understand the contingencies they depend on. *AMAZON PLAN TO SHOW TARIFF COSTS A 'HOSTILE' ACT, LEAVITT SAYS

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 17: If you're unpublished, try not to tell everyone you know you're writing a book. Everything takes longer than you think. Writing, rewriting, editing, copy-editing, submitting, waiting. Unless you want to answer questions every step of the way, keep it to yourself.

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

Hey media. Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are doing a sit in on U.S. Capitol steps. From social media I've that Chris Coons, Brian Schatz and Amy Klobuchar have joined them. Am sure there have been &d will be others. Do your damn job & cover this instead of bitching that Dems aren't speaking out.

He won 25% of black men per AP. Which is still really high for an unapologetic racist moron. I talked to an inordinate number of black male uber drivers who, while not saying who they’d vote for, talked about how much better the economy, or their personal economic situation, was under Trump.

We’re behaving like a failed state and embracing lawlessness, cruelty, and corruption. The White House proudly displays images of men on its lawn who have not received due process. History will remember us as the nation that sold out democracy in exchange for money and power.

It’s the opposite though it’s about exposure to the basic canon of human understanding and the development of critical thinking skills. It’s how you prevent Architects and Engineers (for something something truth, for instance) from getting suckered into dumb shit.

Why doesn’t everyone carry at least a few hundred in cash on themselves at all times? I suppose they see the likelihood of getting robbed for the cash they’re carrying as higher than the likelihood that they’ll need cash for anything when they have a card, not realizing how fragile those systems are

Writing about my last ten years in the science of tech policy, I am reminded how designers & advocates perpetually imagine ourselves at the start of something new. It's a trap. I'm grateful for humanities training that draws me to history amidst deliberate amnesia. firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph...
