Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think things would go better in debates if, when coming to “the right of Israel to exist,” the definition Israel was clarified: Israel pre-1967 borders or post? 000

Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Sure but politicians also try to avoid taking stances against x when they’re already on the take with x. And voters who have compromised themselves with y or z may lean toward a politician they see being accused of being on the take with x. 000

Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Doesn’t this mean you can wear any colors and dogs will see them as they do regardless? 001

Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 26/09/2026And then there’s Showgirls which is about how bad a movie can be and still be loved 000
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I think one thing white people cd do about this is to quit obsessing over getting their kids into the Very Best schools & send them to schools that are basically ok instead. Less stress on the kids, & less chasing of hollow prestige wd mean more money for poor schools to become basically ok too. 010

Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I will say that I was interviewing someone for a job once, sitting on our loading dock in Manhattan, when he saw a friend across the street and LEFT the interview to talk to him for 5-10 minutes. Then came back as if nothing had happened. 020
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It would be interesting to see you and Marc Elias have a conversation about this. Because you’re both well informed but see the matter slightly differently. 010
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Yes that’s what I thought the claim was. Still, surely the language acquisition crowd will stand to gain from this data point, insofar as vocalization starts before syntactical language production. 000
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 22/09/2026VERY interesting paper from what I can see from the Stanford release & various (can’t afford the paywall on the paper itself 🥲). I was especially interested to see that the hindbrain is implicated in some way in speech. Or is that not the case? 100

Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Birth of a Nation was based on events in my ancestral hometown York SC. I promise you the reality was worse than the movie. Which kinda puts a weird spin on Southern whites circa 1915 saying the movie was so accurate! 000

Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I’m obviously not a heavy duty poster, but if I want to reach you, will this account still be active to dm you occasionally? 210
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Imo, economic figures generally fail to capture precarity. In a context where the future seems uncertain (in many ways, for a sustained period, for so many), evidence of an minor adverse trend can act as a jump scare, repeated evidence then leading to background cynicism. 010
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I know it looks good with an ‘a’ in it, but it’s ‘bestiality,’ people, not ‘beastiality.’ 250
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I honestly don’t think I could eat a room full of mush 000
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Basically I do think the right feels the need for its own end of the world narrative (as opposed to climate change) that they can exert over the left (unlike end times stuff which the left will never believe). 010
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Nagi, seller of loosies, Haffenreffer, car batteries, puff pork rinds on the corner of 6 and B, yelling “good mawning!” from the back, anytime of day or night, his curly hair standing straight on end? Yeh guess you’re right about this one. 000
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Indeed. If you’re looking for a lefthanded windshifter, the P&T Surplus store experience (Kingston NY) is unsurpassed. 010
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 12/09/2026A Passage to India. The original Merchant Ivory movie completely missed the wickedness of Forster’s book. 120
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I went on a road trip a few months later and mentioned to a hotel clerk that I was there that day. He immediately started talking about what it was like for him (watching TV in Peoria) and wouldn’t stop. I feel like we NYers were freaked in a different way but the conversation spiraled away from us. 000
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Some random memories of 9/11: The wind blew south the 1st day, north the 2nd day. The army appeared silently overnight. Vehicles from unverifiable “security” agencies everywhere. A passenger plane *crash landed* in Queens a few weeks later. It was easy to enter the hot zone on foot. Anthrax! 001

Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Makes you wonder how the stealing of the election will play out on a tactical level when the micromanager of it is actively hallucinating 000
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Count Basie Carnegie Hall. Friend with the car ride home left note to meet at the wrong venue, wrong time (pre-cell phones). Couldn’t find her, went back to Port Authority, was given wrong platform, missed last bus home. “Slept” in Port Authority. Early bus packed w grade school kids on field trip! 000
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I couldn’t tell what was going on with this post so I ignored it 000
Dave LIndsay @davelindsay.bsky.social · 24/08/2026If nothing else, Trump has demonstrated that the Constitution has been full of loopholes *since it was written*. I doubt the centrists are thinking of it that way. 000
