I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Is it my algorithm or is there a grassroots emergence of the religious left happening right now in a way that has not seemed legible in.. decades?

This is Spinal Tap. “It really puts perspective on things, though, doesn’t it?” “Yeah, too much. There’s too much fucking perspective now.”

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

This is not what the problem is. We have many excellent, talented, engaging science communicators. Their reach is deliberately truncated by the social media companies, and billionaire-owned news outlets do not platform them.

One day you start a book about American cultural history and then.. before you know it your browser is auto-loading Muppet Wiki.

Gamergate is like Ronald Reagan in that it is a clear point on a graph after which everything gets worse.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Perhaps most importantly: “design must flow from the architectural profession to the Government, and not vice versa.”

The 1962 doc slipped into an Ad Hoc Committee report recommends “major emphasis” on “designs that embody the finest contemporary American architectural thought” and advises that “the development of an official style must be avoided.”

Among the things that have been disappeared off of .gov is Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s “Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture” a stunningly simple, evergreen treatise on how to approach federal building design.

The true story behind Sherita, a brutal tale of old Brooklyn and a predatory real estate spree. Debbie Nathan and I dug deep to expose the brothers behind it, who hid behind phony last names.

The vanished icon of Atlantic Ave. was the relic of a secretive family who grabbed buildings from immigrant owners across the booming borough.

As the EOs and orders keep coming, I keep thinking of the exhibit in the Berlin Jewish Museum that displays the 962 anti-Jewish laws and policies in order as they came down. These kinds of drumbeats are designed not just to oppress but to normalize oppression. www.jmberlin.de/en/jmb-journ...
