I love the Toronto airshow, because it lets you experience what the last few seconds of your life would be like before American or Israeli Jets blow you to smithereens!

welcome to Can He Douthat Wednesdays With Ross Douthat, where ross drinks 30 ounces of communion wine on tv and starts talking about the aborted babies that visit him in his dreams. "the zygotes told me they don't want to go to purgatory" he sobs as the camera zooms in uncomfortably close

honestly, just invade iran already- bring on the full catastrophe which will end american hegemony once and for all - and then maybe we can rebuild a democratic consensus among freedom and dignity loving peoples.

Of course Trump and Netanyahu’s first attack of the war is on Muslim schoolgirls. They are over and over again telling us who they are. At some point we need to listen and actually do something.

One thing that has perplexed me during trump 2 - why aren't more of the liberal white American middle class protesting? Are they not seeing the ICE atrocities? Do they agree with what ICE is doing? Or are they just scared?

At this point it seems clear that Trump can do whatever he wants to American democracy and get away with it, but I don’t think the same can be said about the American economy. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/bba65bc...

welp I sent an email
Hi Tripp,
I'm a reporter with the Guardian US, based in New York. I hope this finds you well.
I'm reaching out about your most recent article and its inclusion of the claim, "Young Chinese women have small fingers." What is the source of this information? The full sentence attributes the claim that such small fingers make them "nimble" and therefore "valuable" to iPhone manufacturing to unnamed "supply chain experts", but it's unclear whether those same experts are the source of the claim that young Chinese women have small fingers in the first place. Are they? How do they know? Is there a study you can cite? And are we talking length? Circumference? Is it question of muscle strength? Or bone density? What is the normative range for finger size, to what extent do young Chinese women fall outside of it, and how do you - or your sources - know this?Incidentally, how are you defining "Chinese" in this sentence? As I'm sure you and your supply chain experts know, China is a large country with dozens of ethnic minorities. It is hard to imagine that hand size is a trait linked to national identity, but the lack of specificity leaves the question open. Did hand size among Han Chinese living in Taiwan vs the PRC diverge after the civil war? Could this be a function of political economy rather than a genetic trait? So many questions. Relatedly, how are you defining "young"? Do Chinese women's fingers grow as they age? Or is size not actually the meaningful characteristic? It's hard to tell from the information you provided!
I ask all these questions because unless you have answers to them, I am afraid that you may have portrayed racist pseudoscience as if it were fact in an article for the New York Times. If that wasn't your intent, I hope you will reflect upon the long history of certain forces using race science claims to attribute suitability for certain types of labor to certain types of people, and amend your article.
Best,
Julia Wong

Thinking about this quote a lot lately: "Power demands sad bodies. Power needs sadness because it can dominate it. Joy, in consequence, is resistance, because joy doesn't give up. Joy as a life force leads us in places where sadness never can." - Gilles Deleuze

American commentators on why the tariffs are a bad idea usually just default to inflation - what about the fact that your country, for no good reason at all, is declaring economic (for now) war on close allies - attacking the sovereignty of democratic nations? maybe also bad?

Despite the power structures through which texts were forged & transmitted before being collected into the Bible, words of resistance, like Mary’s Magnificat in today’s Gospel (Luke 1:39–55), shine through. Hallelujah
A wood block print of Mother Mary stepping on the serpent and a skull with fist raised with words from her Magnificent in Luke 1 put in the imperative: cast away the rich, fill the Hungary, lift the lowly, send the rich away.

the reason why they are upset about bluesky is that your attention is just more valuable. the right has no creativity, no spark of wit, no intelligence, it’s just all bland darkness. they so desperately want what you have. don’t give it to them.

Saw Adrianne Lenker in Toronto last night - wonderful show, one of the best songwriters writing today. The crowd mostly much younger, and such a sad, strong yearning among them. Beautiful, but I left feeling we have failed this generation in some fundamental ways. They deserve so much more.

The reality is, the three major superpowers of the world are now all fascist authoritarian states with unstoppable military power at their disposal. The rule of law does not exist in these regimes, and countries where it does exist are now virtually unprotected.
