Unknown outside Switzerland, Varlin (Willy Gugenheim) is renowned for combining expressionist emphasis on figural distortion, rather like Chaïm Soutine - the pseudonym was at the urging of his dealer who was worried 'Willy Guggenheim' was 'too bourgeois.' This is from 1943.

Everything appears to be white genocide except the nearly irreversible abolition of all of the stuff keeping white people alive. Like a Black woman having a visible job is white genocide but dismantling the FDA, removing fluoride, rampant deregulation & resurrecting old world diseases is freedom.

This is fantastic work by @milesklee.bsky.social documenting the way ChatGPT can cause users’ mental health to deteriorate quickly into catastrophic delusions. This technology never should have been released to the public and that was obvious from day 1 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that everyone is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
