Taxes are the direct means by which we communally fund our most precious public goods. I wish politicians of every stripe would stop pledging to cut the very taxes we depend upon to build our shared institutions.

Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.

Well, this should be an interesting job:

It’s a LinkedIn job listing for a “historian” to work for Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)

This isn’t mere philanthropy for tax write-offs or reputation banishing. One could achieve those objectives by funding something that doesn’t involve AI or any other for of targeting. This is how charitable foundations led by CEOs disseminate their ideologies and shift public sentiment.

Thanks so much, Ian. I will let you know! The early yearbooks are a lot of fun to peek through too!

That is fabulous. But also might I prevail on you in the future to take a picture for me upstairs if they won’t do it remotely? I am coveting some pictures from an early yearbook of one of my writers to use in my book. I can see it digitized but it’s not hi-res enough! 😆 I would let you know later!

I am sick and tired of seeing this shit. DOGE was not a "missed opportunity," it was an intentional effort by billionaire oligarchs to destroy the federal government's capacity to do good things for the American people.

I recorded a talk today & am grateful it was not censored unlike ⬇️🤬. People who want talks about “racism” that are happy and feel good and don’t point to the present… are cowards. Psychiatrists!! Who want us to pretend to be living in a fairy land where all is well & resistance is impolite!!

I want to be clear: the people who are *revolting+ are the managers pushing AI, not the people resisting it. 🤪

I didn't realize Target was somehow involved in this until reading this statement. We really need to boycott that company out of existence.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

LOL - sorry! But my husband & I were definitely talking past each other & he couldn't figure out why there was a hit song about Jews in Texas - & I wasn't sure why he was so puzzled by the guy choosing a Texas girl over a Tennessee one! 😆 bsky.app/profile/drse...

I mean, I did think of him… But for obvious reasons you are better equipped to do it now… But yes, you of all people should make sure you know that song, whether or not it is about Jews! It surpassed Mariah’s Christmas song with the longest #1 streak ever.

I think @bestonetx.bsky.social is the right person to make this a real parody song!

I wanted to see if my spouse knew the song that Rolling Stone says you're out of touch if you don't know, the one with the longest #1 streak ever. He did not... But he replied: "A song about Jews in Texas?? Is it negative or positive?" (it took a few rounds before he understood me & I him!)

We’re sick of ICE terrorizing our neighbors. Sick of it. Like the brave people of Minneapolis, we have zero tolerance for federal agents lawlessly unleashing violence on our streets.

This was a lot of fun. Serling's career was about so much more than Twilight Zone — TZ was basically his second act after he first became famous as Sorkin-before-Sorkin — and I appreciated the chance to talk about the less famous but still great ones like Seven Days in May.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

This woman lives in San Diego & is a so-called youth culture expert. How TF is she so out of touch with things happening here with LGBTQ youth let alone elsewhere? Not a serious person.

Was supposed to give a talk in New Orleans on Saturday morning, even though I’ve done most recent lectures on Zoom. They said the storm will probably hit east of them… but flying into a possible hurricane does not seem prudent (to quote Bush the father). Bummed but it’s the right choice!

History inspires game development. This Thursday, John Beiner and I will share how the Prize Papers Project and the German Maritime Museum are helping Capstan Games bring maritime history to life in the game "Ahoy". Join our international workshop online! Link below. #earlymodern #maritimehistory

I truly don't get how anyone can twist Zohran attending the Oct. 7 vigil into something "new," or a shift in policy, for the Mayor --- He attended the exact same event, organized by the same group, under the same name (Israelis for Peace), with the same people, last year during the election.
