"No communication was possible with him, not because he lied but because he was surrounded by the most reliable of all safeguards against the words and the presence of others, and hence against reality as such." -Hannah Arendt, Banality of Evil

I've been reading a lot of Arendt lately, particularly Banality of Evil.

According to the article, Stewart was reminding viewers that Trump's actions took place within a democratic system that allowed him to commit these atrocities. Using "fascist" as a blanket term removes the significance of what Trump is doing—a word over-used loses meaning.

But how are you supposed to freshly grind the beans like that? We need Doc Brown to whip something up.

I want to stress again, that Americans hate and distrust Elon and Zuck SO MUCH that they've voluntarily given their data to China, and BEGUN LEARNING MANDARIN TO DO IT.
And they're having FUN.
Whew. It's going to be a wild ride.

Been five years for me. I miss Powell's. And Christmas tree farms. And intelligence.

One time someone showed me a picture of an empty 2 liter shoved up someone's ass. Then someone asked "why isn't the bottle collapsing?"
It still haunts me.

Idk what this is, but, as a teaching assistant who teaches FYC, 80-90% of my students use LLMs to write their papers, and I have no solid ground to stand on when I need to challenge them. Kid, you're telling me you can write about Woolf's stream of consciousness, but don't know what a thesis is???

I wanted to say something, but I was afraid of making a scene or misinterpreting what happened. I hate that that's still my knee-jerk reaction to shits like that.
