America has never had class consciousness in the traditional sense. It lacks learned reflexes around class struggle, but it does have a heightened sensitivity to cultural (and social) class. Conflating the two turns class politics into cultural sorting, leaving conditions materially unchanged.

If you spend a considerable amount on marketing to get people to believe how dangerous your frontier model is, there’s a chance they might believe you. Looks like some of those people happen to work for the US government.

I cleaned 11 fountain pens today. It was quite the chore. I normally don’t ink that many so it was a first. I also cleaned Platinum and Opus 88 pens for the first time. The latter was easy because it’s an eyedropper, but I was surprised how easy it was to clean Platinum pens thoroughly.

Good luck! I partitioned my cache drive and it was easy. I’d imagine it’d be easier with a separate drive.

Pilot Custom 742 LE with an FM nib. It’s a Japan exclusive, but I got lucked out. I didn’t think it was going to arrive as the retailer canceled the order (couldn’t locate it) but then they shipped it. It looks unbelievably good in person. I’m going to fill it with Shin-ryoku.

7.3 was released today and I updated it immediately. (I like to live on the edge.) Set up internal booting and it was quite an easy process. Now I eagerly wait for the next power outage. Kudos to the @unraid.net for the painless process.

I’m so sick of dealing with Unraid. Every time there’s a power outage, I spend at least half an hour of my life rebooting the system over and over again until it decides to work. If the internal booting in 7.3 doesn’t work, I am just gonna buy a Ubiquiti NAS or something and be done with it.

I am rooting for open weight models to succeed, and it’s not fair to compare them to frontier models, but my god they can’t even handle the basic tasks I throw at them.

Lovely choice and pen. Never tried Dominant Industry inks, but they’re releasing a local exclusive one this month that I will be ordering it. (Color is yet to be revealed.) Apologies for the unsolicited advise but when you’re out of EGT, I’d try KWZ Honey. I think it’d be a good match!

@isaachowriter.bsky.social Looks like Montblanc 221 to me. I don’t think it’s Parker because the clip doesn’t look like a Parker. And 51s don’t have the nib sticking out like that.

They work so well in general, but especially so with sheening inks.

Platinum Preppy. I have a few 3776s and I love them, but I can’t believe the value you get with a Preppy. If only they had designed it better. Those Jinhao’s look great! The yellow one especially.

In love with my new fountain pen. I’ve been eyeing it for over a year, and when I came across a good deal, I couldn’t turn it down. I have two other 3776s with C and B nibs, so I went with an F nib this time. Inked it with Waterman Inspired Blue as I wait for Murasaki-shikibu to get back in stock.

This is a good conversation. Klein can’t seem to use the right words when the reality clearly calls for them, but given his position and the power he wields, maybe that’s a good thing. Descriptively, he’s not far off base. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/o...

Focusing on Trump’s mental health is a veiled attempt to justify the system that produced him. It is a tendency liberals fall back on because they cannot face their own moral vacuousness.

I’m not a big fan of their looks myself, but they are a classic. It’s a shame they don’t cater to the lower end of the market, but Lamy, Pilot, and Platinum does a great job there. I am amazed how good Preppy is every time I use it.
