Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan is about more than voyeuristic violence Authoritarianism requires rituals of death that seek to transform secular oppression into religious orthodoxy while communicating the need to murderously purge “the other.” jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/descent-in...

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

Is it time for change in the Maritime provinces? That’s what Prince Edward Island's premier hopes to find out after Canada's western provinces and territories decided to stick to daylight time this fall.

Rob Lantz said he's spoken with his counterparts in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick who agree that if one province were to keep the clocks the same year-round, they all should.

He intends to survey Islanders to gauge their thoughts about moving away from twice annual time changes.

"We'll take the pulse of Islanders to see how they feel about it," Lantz said. 

"Then I'll continue the conversation with my Maritime colleagues and, if all goes well, we could move forward together."

Canada's western provinces and territories will be staying on daylight time this year, while most of…

One of the reasons I despise AI is how it robs imagination twice. First it steals from creatives and thinkers to make slop. Then it lets users bypass rather than learn a creative process. The political timing isn’t accidental. We need imagination to envision a better world that we’ll fight for.
