positing to americans that some problems are not solvable by individual action but rather are collective social endeavors is like talking with a megaphone full of soup, it gets messy so fast

Only tangentially related but I observed a few months ago that Theodoric and Charlemagne lived roughly as far apart from each other in time as I do from George Washington but they still get folded into this thing called the early middle ages.

“Human beings are so made that the ones who do the crushing feel nothing; it is the person crushed who feels what is happening. Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand.” ― Simone Weil

Look- I’m a recovered Catholic. But even my cold, cynical, atheist heart must admit having this man in that position was an important challenge to rising anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric. If we have to have a pope, may it be someone who truly champions those who are marginalized.

This isn’t deportation. It’s kidnapping. Human trafficking. It’s disgusting.

Young people SHOULD “have it easier” than you did. I’m sorry you got the strap up hill both ways and paid your debts with pounds of flesh, but the reason we work for progress is to make growing up and growing old gentler, easier, kinder, freer. Struggle isn’t necessary in a healthy society.

🧵 I have to finally admit it. I’m ancient, dessicated & wizened. My idea of a good time is a snazzy new pair of pyjama bottoms. In fact, I think the only exciting thing left to me is my artwork. The body has scarpered, but the imagination lives on. You too, can enjoy what’s left…

Carl Sagan said when he was at university in the 1950s, “it was considered unthinkable for an aspiring physicist not to know Plato, Aristotle, Bach, Shakespeare,” and so many of our problems with today’s tech leaders are downstream of their lack of engagement with the humanities.

So I just finished James by Percival Everett (it was amazing) and I have a stack of possible next reads. And I find myself indecisive on what to move to next. And as ever I’m open to suggestions. My tastes are eclectic. And I am open to most suggestions.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

He’s threatening the free press. He wants to ship Americans to foreign prisons. He’s using executive orders to go after ex-staff who dare to speak out. He’s ignoring the Supreme Court. This isn’t politics. This is authoritarianism in real time. Wake up.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.
