I promise to live what’s left of my life the way that George plays his solo on I Should Have Known Better.

Elon Musk suddenly going into overdrive to blame DEI, Obama, Biden... likely because he doesn't want you to know that the FAA was without a leader during the DC plane crash thanks to him

Elon Musk
@elonmusk

Under the Biden administration, the FAA and other government agencies
had absolutely insane hiring practices that endangered the public.
President @realDonaldTrump and his team are working rapidly to restore
competent personnel to all positions involving your safety.

FAA Leader Quit Before D.C. Plane Crash
Thanks to Elon Musk
The world's richest man apparently thought it was a good idea to bully the
Federal Aviation Administration chief out of his job.
The administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, Michael
Whitaker, resigned from his position on January 20 after repeated
demands from Elon Musk that he quit, leaving the agency without a
Senate-confirmed leader during a major crisis in the wake of the D.C.
plane crash.
Musk called for Whitaker's resignation in September after the FAA chief
proposed fining Musk's company SpaceX over $600,000 in civil penalties
for failing to follow license requirements during two launches in 2023.
Whitaker told a congressional panel at the time that fines were "the only
tool we have to get compliance on safety matters."

DEI was not the demand, it was the settlement

“What if our morality and our politics did not end with the act of condemnation? What if we insisted on asking what form of life would release the region from violence such as this?” -Judith Butler’s latest

We are to condemn or approve, and that makes sense, but is that all that is ethically required of us? In fact, I do...

First excerpt from my new book: “If inequality can be captured in statistics, insecurity requires talking about feelings: It is, to borrow a phrase from feminism, personal as well as political.” www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/opinion/…

Only by reckoning with how deep manufactured insecurity runs will it become possible to envision something different.

Astra Taylor on how we might come together as things fall apart! Read every word - no pull quotes do the job, but: “We work hard, shop hard, hustle, get credentialed, scrimp and save, invest, diet, self-medicate, meditate, exercise, exfoliate.” None of it provides “the security we crave.”

www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/opinion/… This is a great piece by @astra.bsky.social Amazing control of tone as she states what should be obvious with total clarity.

Half-baked thought: maybe now all humanities professional orgs should have watchdog/activist committees to keep an eye on major assaults by legislatures, boards of trustees, etc.? a necessary shift, culturally? both for ready activism & for easy rallying nodes for orgs to communicate & band together

The cities of Ohio have pushed back against the Republican effort to cheat us of majority rule. Happy for all of us.

in all the remembrances about sinead’s passionate and righteous life, let us not forget how powerfully tender her music was. few people can sing about intimacy, longing, desire, and grief in a way that cuts to the quick every time and never feels hackneyed
