In 1941, the Japanese killed ~2500 Americans at Pearl Harbor. In 1945, the US killed ~170,000 Japanese *civilians* in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Mamdani made a Pearl Harbor Day statement which spent most of its time on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That's both understandable and completely wrong.

Gorgeous flowers collected in a glass vase, plus what appear to be some glaceed cherries. And butterflies. By Carstiaen Luyckx, on his day.

The turtle laughed. The lizards laughed. The snake laughed. The field mouse laughed, and Frog laughed.

The turtle, lizards, snake, field mouse, and Frog all laugh at Toad. Not very nice friends, are they?

"Effective altruism" has little to do with what sane folk think of as of "altruism," this is a right vs right, Dumb vs Dumber fracas. Let them fight.

The doomerism in the comments is just sad. Patel hates his job and everything about it (except the private plane stuff, obvs). He has no investment in MAGA, it's just a meal ticket with perks. Yes, he's a selfish, delusional buffoon, but he knows a naked threat when he hears it.

If he said "$1", that would be illegal; if he said "$1M" that would be *legal*, because it's obviously impossible. I'd say this is more like the latter than the former, simply because no sane person would believe it.

Spent half the day at the National Academy of Sciences on whose building sits this quote I’d never read before. It seems arrestingly fitting, across the board, for the times we’re in. For all time, actually, which is of course the point. But still: oof.

Until the 19th C, all illness was either "divine punishment," "bad luck," or "God's inscrutable will." (Anti-vaxx propaganda is as old as the smallpox vaccine itself.) By the 20th C, it was mostly "bad luck," and people HATED that—it made them feel powerless. The result: an epidemic of quackery.

Whenever the government provides opportunities in privileges for white people and rich people they call it “subsidized” when they do it for Negro and poor people they call it “welfare.” The fact that is the everybody in this country lives on welfare. Suburbia was built with federally subsidized credit. And highways that take our white brothers out to the suburbs were built with federally subsidized money to the tune of 90 percent. Everybody is on welfare in this country. The problem is that we all to often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor. That’s the problem.

Why is the appeal to racism so effective in so many different countries? Are there preconditions for their success? Where people are easily pushed to fear the Other, what are they *really* afraid of, and how can that be addressed? Simply saying "don't be racist" seems a losing strategy.
