For the Los-Angeles-is-soulless crowd: I grew up there, that city made me who I am, and its polyglot glory is why they are rolling troops on it now. Again. As always.

I think it’s a huge misconception we need a single app that grows infinitely and makes everyone happy. This is a “business” mindset. And that model has consistently failed. It’s also driven families apart. This is Threads model now and it’s a censorship machine. I’m good with the community we have.

It’s true I suppose that if we all started book-grouping Foucault’s Pendulum and The Search for the Perfect Language, this place would start to feel like an Eco chamber.

So let me see if I have this right…a social network where many people agree is bad, but a journalist disagreeing with a presidential advisor is also bad.

The elusive idea of “objectivity” in journalism—impossible, as all us good poststructuralists know; every choice of fact and order is subjective—emerged in the early 20th century when big companies shifted from buying ads in newspapers to owning stock in them. Can’t offend the owners!

“But Micklethwait’s surprise was down to the fact that Lange’s editor, Kriston Capps, had bypassed Bloomberg’s official awards process and quietly submitted for the Pulitzer without informing anyone within the organisation..." hell yeah, @kristoncapps.bsky.social talkingbiznews.com/media-news/t...

There are so, so many reasons you don’t want the military bringing hundreds of fighting vehicles and other equipment to the capital. The symbolic reasons are actually pretty far down the list! Literally everyone involved knows this except the one guy.

I…whoa. UFOs are a government coverup of a government coverup of stealth tech, some Air Force guys believe in alien UFOs because of a hazing ritual, and a red team test of EMPa against nukes worked so well that people thought it was aliens. Dude. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

For some perspective, the federal government funds over half of all scientific research and development conducted by the @uofcalifornia.bsky.social -- and UC is collectively responsible, in turn, for over 8% of all academic research conducted in the United States.

The great arts-and-crafts designer William Morris got rich off of arsenic dyes in his wallpapers, denied that arsenic was toxic, and despite his socialist and unionist politics co-owned an arsenic mine.

This whole thing has been a secret war against knowing stuff and the people who know stuff.

Maybe one reason that Hollywood has lost some juice as a culture-making machine is that Silicon Valley and Washington picked up the metonymic slack. Their media became message, too. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

In 2019, NIAID proposed an ambitious scientific network focused on pandemic preparedness, research, and response - the "CREID Network". Ten centers kicked off just as the pandemic was taking off, playing critical roles throughout. We were just notified the whole network is terminated. Reason? 👇

There's something deeply concerning about the loss of a major art and craft store and the liquidation of a sewing pattern company. We are actively watching the ability to make things by hand become harder and harder, more out of reach. Can you get indie? Sure. But that's a privilege, too.

With tariffs, clothing will be as expensive as when it was domestically manufactured. Home sewing was more popular then, as people sewed easier garments (blouses, skirts, dresses) at home & bought more technically difficult ones like suits & jeans. How will we do this without patterns?

"If the Big 4 does not survive this, it also spells the death knell for most printed sewing patterns like ours, since there will no longer be a printer capable of producing large-scale tissue sheets." I … did not know I should be worried I might not be able to get patterns ever again

“The legacy sewing pattern brands Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls, and Vogue, commonly referred to as the Big 4, have been sold to a liquidator.” One dollar. I had a dollar! craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...
