we need the longest long form journalism ethnographing these practices. they're an entire alternative economic value system. no money changes hands, infinite libiidnal energy and time go in to documenting, comms, innoculating owner against waste, ensuring the recipient gets off. good bananas.

Labor's share of income just hit an all-time low. That means for every dollar a company brings in, workers are taking home smaller and smaller slices. Income keeps shifting to the owners. With @svaneksmith .bsky.social newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

When you compare how much right-wing funding is going into their version of the humanities in higher ed ("civil discourse," "civic thought," "intellectual freedom") vs how little public or private funding there is for peer-reviewed humanities scholarship & teaching, it really makes you think.

In light of all the horrible sexual assault in the news, this from my conversation with Kate Manne in February at Princeton still sums up my thoughts. Power =\= Good Men(tm). Power = Power.

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

Despite our Media consistently turning a blind eye to all of ReformUK’s scandals (as they waffle hysterically about Burnham & Manchester City) Perhaps people have noticed that Reform Councillors rarely stick around to do the job. They’re suspended, they resign, they become independents etc

Saw a young couple at the coffee shop this afternoon. The guy was consoling his girlfriend and said, “I’m sorry you’re disappointed,” with an arm around her shoulder. Then he said, “Come on, let’s go eat a cookie.” Honey, that’s a real man.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

It’s amazing how after 40+ years of working, a retired person immediately forgets that other people are still working and cannot answer the phone at odd times of the day. “What are you doing?!” Well, it’s 10:04 am on a Thursday so I’m doing about what you used to do at this day & time.

Tragic. “”None of us have any experience treating this disease, because up until a couple of months ago, it didn’t occur,” said Dr. John Goldman, an infectious disease expert at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The learning curve among doctors, he said, is “very steep.””

People don’t understand how fragile our water infrastructure is. I’ve had contaminated water in the last six years. I’ve had my water co. hijacked for digital ransom. We are in perpetual near drought conditions... in NC, not AZ. AI boosters use pedantry about water use as an accountability shield.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

MAGA was the same performance. Trump and cronies made the critique of the status quo conservative Democrats couldn't, earned followers, and then just served their benefactors and forced politics further into authoritarianism. Tucker is vying to perform the next escalation of this. It's that simple.

In case you don't know, it's very simple. In an authoritarian cycle the "opposition" liberal party is captured by wealth interests and becomes conservative and defenders of a decaying status quo. Fascists come along, offer the critique of the status quo the "opposition" can't and gain converts.

Meanwhile, the exact same oligarchs who are controlling MAGA are controlling the whole post-MAGA Tucker thing. Anyone being duped by this is at least unwittingly wanting to be duped by it. It's utterly transparent and anyone who has even glanced at fascist political cycles knows what this is.

Tucker and MTG and Massie and everyone in their little fetid cesspool are providing an incredible service to the fascists. They're supplying a post-Trump radicalization structure that will quickly paint Trump and MAGA as a betrayal and forward fascist ideas under a newer and "truer" facade

Tucker has peddled white supremacist, antidemocratic, eugenicist, sexist, and utterly fascist ideas for many, many years, and the moment he starts offering the fascist feint that just gets memory-holed, which I think says a lot about the people who are willing and eager to go along with this.
