Was reading George Orwell on the Spanish civil war last night and this part stuck out.
One feature of the Nazi conquest of France was the astonishing defections among the intelligentsia, including some of the left-wing political intelligentsia. The intelligentsia are the people who squeal loudest against Fascism, and yet a respectable proportion of them collapse into defeatism when the pinch comes. They are far-sighted enough to see the odds against them, and moreover they can be bribed—for it is evident that the Nazis think it worth while to bribe the intellectuals.

Microfiche implies the existence of macrofiche. Giant leviathans who live in libraries, bellowing news stories to anyone who asks.

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

The trickle-down myth is deeply embedded in the American psyche and it’s beyond time to excise it.

The craziest thing about emerging from burnout is all of the new ideas that I have and want to tackle all at once, but knowing I can’t, because - you know… How do y’all deal with it? #playwrights #theatresky #scriptsky

I’m so excited for the positivity on this app and its users’ willingness to leave the negativity of the other place behind as it sinks into a bog of bots, porn, ads, and racism.

Netflix should greenlight a documentary about how we as a society make the worst people famous and then they turn around and cash out on it for years idk I think it’d do well

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

I just wanted to say—if you have a favorite US based artist this is likely the time to start and keep supporting them A few creative friends have mine have voiced possibly needing to change jobs under this new administration out of concern and fear, so show artists that you love their work now

If you have an interaction end with someone smugly saying “so much for the ‘tolerant left’”, just remember the Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone doesn’t abide by the terms of the contract, they are not covered by it

A suggestion, when exchanging Signal contact information over insecure channels like Bluesky: 1. Use privnote.com to exchange your contact information. 2. Exchange your Signal username, not your Signal phone number.

If I’ve learned anything from the past decade, it’s that the moral arc of the universe doesn’t bend towards justice. It bends towards chaos and people react with fascism. Justice and goodness must be taught and fought for and tended to and nurtured constantly, like a garden.

We all know this is about selling more toys, but is there any merit to JJ Abrams making a Hot Wheels movie that he says will be “Emotional and grounded and gritty”? www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/07/…

In an era when “pre-awareness” rules Hollywood, the company is ginning up plots for everything from Hot Wheels to UNO.
