We’ve had so many “Any Other Presidency Would Be Ended By This” statements that it feels banal to point out, but suggesting the deaths of millions of people by a foreign power would be a fine cost because they’re politically inconvenient should end a presidency in any functioning democracy.

"Against edgelordism in all its forms" is becoming a foundational principle for me. Civilization is impossible without an unflinching commitment to pro-social behavior and a willingness to marginalize any deviation.

I unfortunately have to monitor Twitter for work somewhat regularly and I was struck today that while we think of it here as a radicalization engine (and it surely is that too), it also serves as a nihilism factory. Everything is toxicity, doom, cringe, betrayal - nothing can be authentic or earnest

Alien remake/reboot where the human cast is slowly replaced by muppets who are convinced that they’re the same person as the body that incubated them. Of course the human characters have the names of the muppets - the first one to go is Pepe Prawn the engineer, introduced to us by his nickname King

It Follows where the human protagonist is stalked by a procession of Muppets feels like it’d be a hoot I can’t figure out which person should be the muppet in Creep. Also in some ways this is literally just the new Resident Evil movie as it exists.

We're continuing to report on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for at least 250 people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-betti...

A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 28 people's sports betting data, just over 10% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)

Instead, Fromm, drawing from Max Weber, argues that modernity disrupted old kinship networks and systems of meaning (this is, generally, a good thing; such systems were often profoundly troubled). But they were also not readily replaced with urban industrial life.

What's notable about this phenomenon is that it's economically agnostic--and, indeed, this kind of anomie is likelier to be a disease of the middle and upper class, not those whose basic needs aren't being met.

This is *the* main continuity between neo-fascism and the 20th Century variety. Erich Fromm argued exactly this in "Escape From Freedom," saying that modernity left many alienated and socially dislocated--and fascist strongmen promised to restore meaning and purpose to their lives.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

Very mentally good to occasionally treat your home city like you would a place you’re vacationing. Give yourself blocks of unstructured wandering time. Plan one interesting cultural activity per day. Drink a beer in the afternoon, talk to strangers who seem amenable to it

One of two commissions for a client I took recently! Can you tell I like drawing hands.

A full-color illustration of a pale-skinned character with short gray hair and chunky glasses. Hands reach out to him from the shadows behind him. Their arms are spread and between their two hands is an exploded anatomical diagram of a human arm.

University leaders seem to forget that "the public" includes students, faculty, and staff who study and work at the institutions they lead. The "public" is not some external, amorphous thing to the university. If you can't treat the people on your campus with decency, then yeah, they won't trust you

Higher ed leaders are worried about the "decline of public trust"; what are they doing about the fact that faculty, students, and staff at their own institutions do not trust them to lead effectively, defend academic freedom, and meet the challenges of the moment?
