Jonathan Swift still delivers a gut-busting yuk some 300 years after the fact. The key to Swift is slow.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

I would much rather not have childhood nightmares of nuclear annihilation at the hands of mendacious cretins be reawakened any time again in the foreseeable future. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Ok. My mind keeps getting blown by the levels of associative meaning in #JamesJoyce. As a narrator, these’ll be impossible to get across. But it’s exciting to discover one that seems overlooked.

The awful news that Elon Musk clashed with a top Treasury official in an effort to access govt payment systems raises a crucial question: Did Trump authorize this, or not? I talked to former officials who explain why this is a key question, and why it's so alarming: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

Trump and Elon Musk Just Pulled Off Another Purge—and It’s a Scary One

Did Musk’s alleged effort to access the government’s payment systems have Trump’s blessing? Or was he going rogue? Either scenario is bad, but one’s a little worse.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Had my head out of the news, so just hearing about #DavidLynch’s death. Rather than wax about his importance generally, he was important to me; a kid growing up in small town Ireland, watching him on the BBC (he had his own show on silent movie surrealists!) was personally life-changing.
