I wrote about conservative media and the broader state of the sucking-up business, and the new and oafish Tory Dork version of both as expressed through one bad blog. defector.com/confused-bri...

I'm a one-issue voter and it's "we absolutely need to let banks do mortgage fraud again, it's important." So this is a pretty big day for me.

It’s time to organize: “The internet has conditioned us to constantly seek new information, as if becoming a sponge of bad news will eventually yield the final piece of a puzzle. But there is also such a thing as having enough information.” www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

How workers died last week. Decapitated in woodchipper, crushed by concrete slab, air crashes, coal mining, electrocution, airport tarmac incident, plane crashes, vehicle incidents, shootings. On average around 100 workers die every week on the job. jordanbarab.com/confinedspac...

I wrote this after the election and what's hopeful in it is still what I'm holding onto. Trump shit doesn't work, won't work, and is going to hurt a lot of people. It's awful. The coming backlash to that—what it demands, but mostly what it delivers—is the next big story. defector.com/beyond-belief

Not liking how many things I'm reading/getting pitched on that are using california as a way to advance the idea of "self insuring" if our answer to the insurance crisis is to make a country full of people who can't afford to retire also self insure we're completely cooked
