worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

A related point is that the uber wealthy love this not only because it allows them to keep their wealth but also because it commodifies the pursuit of knowledge and turns it into another possession, a status symbol, rather than a basic human right and common good.

I ran out of shampoo and used bar soap for a couple days and then decided I was irritated at having a bottle sitting in my shower that always gets gross and so I kept using bar soap for my hair. It's been several months and I'm literally just using a bar of dial soap in the shower and I'm a big fan.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

ICE's account of how he was hurt evolved during the time that federal officers were at his bedside. At least one ICE officer told caregivers that Castañeda Mondragón "got his (expletive) rocked" after his Jan. 8 arrest near a St. Paul shopping center, the court filings and a hospital staff member said. His arrest happened a day after the first of two fatal shootings in Minneapolis by immigration officers.
The Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE, did not respond to repeated requests for comment on his injuries. A deportation officer skirted the issue in the court documents, saying that during the intake process at an ICE detention center, it was determined he "had a head injury that required emergency medical treatment."

$But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the man's 31-year-old's brain, said three nurses familiar with the case. "It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about," said one of the nurses, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss patient care. "There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall."$ Castañeda Mondragón was alert and speaking, telling staff he was "dragged and mistreated by federal agents," though his condition quickly deteriorated, the documents said.
The following week, a Jan. 16 court filing described his condition as minimally responsive and communicative, disoriented and heavily sedated.

Read this very carefully. A man who emigrated to the US as a child, as a WWII refugee, has been taken by ICE for being in the country "illegally." In no world, never mind in a country that claims to support the rights of individuals, should that sort of thing happen.

I'm convinced that 99% of food storage in home kitchens can be effectively accomplished with polypropylene cambro style containers and food pans. I'm genuinely finding it difficult to think of exceptions. So far I just have cupcakes, sometimes, as they may have problems moving around in a food pan.

Picture of Cambro's polypropylene camsquares line, showing 2qt, 4qt, 6qt, 8qt, 12qt, 18qt, and 22qt containers. 2 and 4 share lids. 6 and 8 share lids. 12 and 18 and 22 share lids.

Picture of Cambro's 0.5 and 1qt polypropylene camsquares. They use the same lid.

When I give public talks now, I explain we are living through a series of de facto constitutional amendments, where the executive asks for radically more power, the judiciary largely agrees, and the GOP-led Congress is committing a form of institutional suicide. Very much this:

There is no formal mechanism in the American system of government to dissolve the legislature. And for good reason: Congress is an independent institution with its own sphere of authority. To give any actor the power to dissolve it would fatally undermine its place in the nation’s constitutional arrangement.

But by keeping the House on indefinite hiatus — as well as sidelining its oversight authority and more or less ceding its power to make law to the president — Republicans have successfully circumvented the text of the Constitution to make our national legislature a nullity. They have, for all intents and purposes, dissolved Congress.
