1. If you want hope in this dark moment, listen to chant of "no more war" that broke out in the very large crowd that came out to hear Bernie Sanders in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There is only one off-ramp from Trump's mad rush to war: the quick mobilization of an anti-war opposition. The people are ready.

Rewatched terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about AI leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.

The liberatory power of mass literacy has been established across half a millennia. When you begin with this fact, everything from Silicon Valley fantasies of post-literacy to MAGA book bans fall neatly in line. Literacy is the foundation of democratic society. It must be enclosed & economized.

I am sick of thinking about it and him, but of all the obviously wrong things that people have believed about Donald Trump, the idea that he wouldn't instantly be into dropping bombs on brown foreigners in order to look tough or just more or less for yuks has to be the dumbest/wrongest.

No one is making you be a writer if you can’t do it and also don’t enjoy doing it. If you’re larping a job for clout I’d probably pick surgeon or Nobel prize winning diplomat, stealing valor for from isolated weirdos at their laptops is like shoplifting from the landfill.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

right-wingers will often say that America deserves credit for ending slavery rather than blame for having slavery. but then we made a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery and they still got mad, which should tell you what their real objection is.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

it should go without saying but you really cannot run a country, or really any organization, like this. you cannot lurch wildly from pole to pole every four years or every four days. you cannot rip up deals and seek deals and then blow up the people you were seeking to re-deal with. doesn't work

All the Republican examples of "violent" rhetoric from Democrats is someone like Tim Walz saying "these people are assholes, you should be rude to them" and all the Republican equivalents are a guy with a top-secret security clearance tweeting "I will personally kill Ilhan Omar with a gun"

It's pretty irritating how many pundits would hear the ideas "I want to shove 100 live scorpions in your mouth" and "I want to shove 0 live scorpions in your mouth" and sagely declare: "The wisest course of action is to let someone shove 50 live scorpions in your mouth."

frustrating when the crux of the ad, about her working on her second book, is about culture, language and connection. All tangible, analog things. And then to ask AI for vocal warm ups destroys a LOT of well earned credibility. I wish artists would stop selling their soul for this shit.
