A bodega by my apartment got shut down by the sheriff for selling unlicensed cannabis products. It is so absolutely fucked for them to come after a bodega in Washington Heights when there are massive unlicensed weed emporiums all over midtown.

I am frustrated by people who dismiss the formal significance of things like SCOTUS decisions bc “The US is already a de facto police state.” OK well that’s why we distinguish between “de facto” and “de jure.”

Hurricanes are more likely and more severe the warmer the ocean becomes. Not only will Caribbean hurricanes keep getting more frequent and powerful, there will also be hurricanes in new places as the ocean warms.

No commas after sentence-initial subordinating conjunctions! Wrong: “He thought he could. But, he couldn’t.” Right; “He thought he could. But he couldn’t.” Also right: “He thought he could. But, in this case, he couldn’t.” The second example is only right bc there is a sub-subordinate clause/

I have zero sympathy for Biden but worth noting that the DC press core spent four years lobbing gentle softballs at Trump

You know how we’re always looking at the boomers and saying “Why did you let the planet go to shit?” Well, if we give up and don’t fight we will be just like them and the answer to our own question will be “Now you know why.” Let’s not do that.

Aside from all the other arguments for congestion pricing there’s the fact that every time I see a car take a blind right turn and almost kill a pedestrian that car has New Jersey license plates.

The function of public intellectuals like Hamilton Nolan is to gatekeep genuinely radical ideas by continuously supplying gullible liberals with yesterday’s slogans, defanged, detached from their organic context, and without ever crediting the people who said that shit 10-15 years ago.

Hamilton Nolan built an entire career selling 5-10-year-old progressive rhetoric to terrified mainstream liberals as an edgy new horizon. His background in media gossip does not qualify him to think and he regularly makes gaffes that reveal profound lack of knowledge and research.

Working on the 10th and last lecture of the first Anti-Oedipus series. I started in April. When this one is done I will have written 80,000 words in under 3 months, on a weekly basis with no revision, while going through the 2nd worst breakup of my life. I am a human-shaped writing machine.

Good morning. This kept bothering me so I wrote about it.

When scholars of the future annotate the word “merkava,” will they remember millennia of pious Jewish mysticism or will they remember the blasted bodies of children strewn in the street?

Biden should step aside and someone pro abortion and anti genocide needs to step in. I think hammering those two messages relentlessly until fall maybe maybe gives Dems a shot.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

The Babylonian Talmud says: “One may not speculate on forbidden sexual relations if there are three [people present]. Nor on the act of creation if there are two. And not on the chariot if there is one, unless he be wise and understanding.”

“The work/act of the chariot” is an ancient Jewish euphemism for speculation on the formal nature of God.

Probably the most famous passage in the history of Jewish mysticism: “Four men entered the orchard — Ben Azzai, Ben Zoma, the Other, and Rabbi Akiva....Ben Azzai looked and died; Ben Zoma looked and went insane; the Other chopped down the saplings; Akiva entered in peace and departed in peace.”
