If you already getting mad at me for the takes in a 52 minute video, 27 minutes after I posted it, it seems to me you just wanted to be mad.

Do not expect the institutions to hold. Anyone who is citing law or policy as a reason why Trump can’t or won’t do X, Y, Z is either delusional themselves, or an institutionalist—whether by belief or necessity because of their job— and is not to be trusted.

Mariam Kintsurashvili - "Police Everywhere, but Justice Nowhere". Brutal repression and state lawlessness has been unleached on the peaceful pro-democracy Georgian protesters. Europe needs to take a principled stand without equivocation. youtu.be/9JvrOGFbglw

I am sick to my stomach at the sheer jubilation over on Twitter right now that Daniel Penny got away with murdering Jordan Neely, an unhoused Black man with mental issues. It's disgusting.

Listening to a Spotify mood and I was like, “Wow, there’s so much talent out there, this song is really beautiful and I bet I have never even heard of the artist” and it was Taylor Swift. THUS SPOKE THE LICH!!

You get 20 extra characters on Bluesky which is great because it means, when you copy your old tweets into Bluesky you can always add “THUS SPOKE THE LICH!” to the end and it will still fit.

Always ask the question. Every story I’ve ever seen of someone curing their cancer using “alternative” therapies has a “also we did the normal stuff” subplot right beneath the surface.

Today's video turned out to be something different than I'd expected. I'm really happy with it. But it was gonna be a quick little blurb, and then I wound up with 25 minutes of raw footage haha

Today's video is going to get into why I've stepped away from the classroom, what I miss, what I don't, and what next. And I really hope it doesn't come across as bitter. I'm not bitter, I'm sad that a profession I believe in so deeply has become so unsustainable.

Editing today's video is such a trip. I've been struggling to put my feelings about stopping teaching into words. My whole studio is torn up, so I just kinda turned on a camera and started talking. And what came out is...everything I'd wanted to say, exactly how I wanted to say it.

Side note, I am incredibly annoyed that the setup I threw together in 5 minutes looks this friggin' good. It doesn't look this good when I try, damnit

When I warned repeatedly that Trump intended to go after the free press in a 2nd term I wasn’t just talking about things like jailing journalists who refuse to reveal leakers or FCC harassment. I was talking about things like this. But they didn’t think it would happen to them.

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.

Oh, so that’s why this ‘cold’ is in Week 4; my ribs hurt from coughing; and I’ve been more dead tired than when I had COVID. Walking pneumonia. Lovely. www.nj.com/healthfit/20...

Meiselas: Those Republicans were sure ready to cover up child sex trafficking. They were rushing to cover it up. They were blaming the media for it. And one of the things Trump did during this awful transition was basically expose the entire Republican Party as being a pro-sex trafficking party.

I’ve been listening to vintage radio playlists on Spotify for a while now. They are just so quaintly charming. Some of them have old ads peppered in. Regardless, there’s something soothing about old radio programming back from when life was simpler.

Good thing Trump’s new HHS Secretary RFK Jr is an advocate for raw milk. That pasteurization stuff that saved hundreds of thousands of kids from bovine tuberculosis and other diseases is all deep state nonsense. 🙄
