the machine that automatically commits fraud did that. why would we be held responsible, just for building a machine that automates the commission of white collar crimes?

there’s one true answer but it’s the correct one five minutes after game of thrones - the last true monoculture show - ended, we all collectively agreed not to talk about it again, and house of the dragon/knight of the seven kingdoms haven’t recaptured a fraction of that cultural presence

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

The thing about the Tucker Carlson//Jacob Rees-Mogg interview is that Tucker is an American moron whose entire tactic is “assume the other guy won’t question my premises”, up against a British aristocrat that debates for fun at Oxford Union. Its like a small animal encountering an Apex predator

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

Even from a purely national pride perspective, this requires you to think that the 100 year period from 1926 was a failure for the United States, instead of the zenith of its power, prosperity, and influence

this week I spoke to a family member and realized that the very good U of M decision to hide first-semester grades is already getting turned into a dumb culture war thing. this is an incredibly good decision that makes sense pedagogically. it gives them permission to learn when habits are forming.

I think the thing we are all in denial about when it comes to the One Cool Trick to win elections forever is that low info swing voters are basically incomprehensible eldritch horrors to politically engaged people. There’s no understanding them and you’ll go mad trying.

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

I believe there is no greater generational constant in USA than the high profile snake oil salesman. I bet historians can document trajectory changes in USA purely based on phenomena & gold rushes engineered by snake oil salesmen. ‘I invented a genie’ guy may be their crowning achievement though.

Increasingly think we need a ‘modernity is actually good’ political tendency. the right is putatively pro-industry and economic growth but thinks science is gay and wants to throw out vaccines for essential oils, the left putatively believes science but also embraces crank degrowth NIMBYism

The polls don't measure the economy. The charts measure the economy. The polls measure how people feel about the economy, which has an already tenuous and steadily further weakening relationship with reality. This is what Will Stancil has been trying to get people to understand for two years.

People with this attitude, who so often (and in my opinion extremely unjustifiably) praise Eggers for supposedly doing this (emphatically false imo) basically relate to the classics not as literature expressing something transhistorically true, but as a literary zoo or circus
Tweet that reads: "I want an Odyssey adaptation (and an Odyssey translation) that makes you feel in your bones how profoundly different the archaic Greeks were from us. Basically space aliens. Nolan is just fundamentally not interested in that kind of estrangement."

like a good leftist, today I'm rooting for the indigenous inhabitants of the Iberian peninsula, who liberated themselves from foreign occupation in 1492 in an early blow for anti-colonialism, not the rapacious settler-colonists who displaced the native people of southern South American.

At the end of the day, we're going to have to make the Affirmative Action Woke Officer Corps (tm) conservatives imagined real. If every four to eight years you get your career stalled if you're not a right-wing white Christian male, those will be the only people who go career military. That's bad.

Like Shakespeare, the Greek classics have been interpreted countless times in countless places. If you do antigone in China, are you supposed to scour the place for Greek actors? Nolan’s Odyssey is an American film so it looks like America. bsky.app/profile/beau...

the maine democratic candidate's replacement should be chosen in new england's oldest tradition, dating all the way back to 1677: every candidate is viciously caned then thrown as far into the ocean as a rowboat can still see land. first back to shore is declared free of witchery. err, the nominee

Count Binface just tore @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social a new one. In response to a request by Paddy O'Connell to take his bin off: "Here we go. You want to get serious? I would say, what are we doing on a programme that used to do proper investigative journalism and now is a souped-up podcast." Ouch! 😂
Newsnight panel with Paddy O'Connell acting like a prick towards Count Binface.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.
