I was raised by a nurse with an associates degree and a steel mill electrician. I am not denigrating the value and dignity of blue collar work when I ask how many elite national media staffers are raising future bricklayers themselves. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

This is a tough read. Having taught at various U.S. universities, I have been amazed by the fact that sexual assault is endemic and most of the little debate has been focused on protecting men from false accusations (which rarely happens) — himpathy, as @katemanne.bsky.social coined.

Lots of different responses! B for me. Great story and characters but I can’t get around how repetitive the combat encounters and environments are and the friend/rivalry gage that doesn’t really work.

If that sounds familiar, yep that was literally the birth of laissez-faire economics. It led directly to the bread riots that ended the French monarchy. Funny how that part keeps getting left out of econ 101.

I want opera newbies to know that it’s completely a different experience hearing opera in person instead of on a recording. It’s amazing hearing someone’s voice un-mic’d ring your ears in the back row. 💃

I came up with some more inane bullshit for everyone to argue about!
(September 23, 2026 at 10:44am)
Fake opinions to argue over…
- Never turn left on a first date.
- Every kindergarten student should have an unpaid internship.
- The periodic table is too sexual.
- Bigfoot should be allowed to vote.
- Having a dream is the same as reading a book.
- You can wear a crop top to a funeral if the deceased person was hot when they died.

A lot of those things existed to quell the masses. The French Revolution was so bloody because the French aristocracy didn’t even pretend to care about the peasants. It’s no wonder you see a lot of guillotine references these days.
