"I’ve worked for the Washington Post since 2008 as an editorial cartoonist. I have had editorial feedback and productive conversations—and some differences—about cartoons I have submitted...I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now."

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Famous YouTuber Johnny Harris, with 6 million followers, released a video titled "Why People Blame America for the War in Ukraine." He presented his argument in it, essentially blaming the West for causing Russia's imperialistic rise. I find it necessary to respond Thread🧵:

The Harris campaign is booking $370 million in advertising to begin after Labor Day and run through the November election, including $200 million on digital ads. The Harris campaign thinks this is the largest digital ad reservation ever in American politics. (gift link)

Things about politics I’ve come to believe strongly: 1. Less bad is better than more bad 2. Nostalgia is generally incorrect. Things weren’t better 3. Still, things can get much worse 4. Democracy is an outlier in human political history 5. Optimism is rooted in agency, not positive predictions

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 18/01/2024
So you're a medieval landlord, collecting property rent from your peasants in eels. How do you count them? Eels were usually counted in units called sticks (25 eels) -- possibly from the number of eels you can smoke on a stick at one time. 10 sticks of eels was called a bind. 🧪🗃️
Photograph of eels hanging on a stick for drying. The els are orange in color, and have been gutted. The stick passes through each eel at or near the head. There are 11 eels on the first rack, and another rack is behind them. The dark of the drying oven is like dusk in a cavern.

There are 11 eels on this stick, not 25, and it is a certainty that someone will point this out in the replies. The only logical assumption, then, is that medieval sticks were simply larger than sticks today, and that the historical processes of industrialization have made sticks a shadow of their former selves. Perhaps in distant lands, untouched by modernity, there are free-roaming herds of sticks capable of holding the right amount of eels. Sadly, we here today must deal with the sticks that late-stage capitalism allows us.
