Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

Caught up on news this morning and since my personal posting on BlueSky about the Supreme Court has as much effect on outcomes as my stating I'd hoped Stamkos would move further north, I'll just do the latter and eat my leftover donut.

Kamala Harris isn't some perfect solution to all that ails the Democratic party. But she is basically the only other plausible option, and insisting that a white or male figure untested on the national stage is somehow a safer option is telling on your own racial and gender attitudes.

The US generally overemphasizes the president because he's most visible, but he's also the head of a team. Biden's team has done great work, particularly Haaland (Interior) and Chopra (CFPB). I will take an old guy with a team that makes things better over a wannabe dictator every time.

People really want you to think that our City Council here is just acting out, when in reality they are thoughtful and progressive leaders who are fed up just like the people who elected them are.

Writing my annual self review and can I use "broke a window today while trying to kill a fly but it's okay I'm going to fix it" as an example of resiliency and willingness to take responsibility for mistakes. It's not strictly work related but it did happen while I was working from home.

Great moment in the intro where he says "for years, we've been researching," and I was like okay who's "we" David? Unfair because he didn't write the script but fun to imagine David Duchovny pouring over letters in the archives

I'm sorry, David Duchovny just told me that Hobey Baker's beloved gentleman funded a memorial rink in his honor and then also died young but that rink is still in use by Princeton today and I'm just supposed to return from my break and keep working like my world is the same???

This is a good podcast but I can simply only hear David Duchovny as Fox Mulder telling Scully that gay men in the 1910s were far more accepted than we may assume today.

It is actually extremely easy to support Palestine, oppose the Gaza war, and not make anti-semitic statements or harrass Jewish people and institutions unconnected to the Israeli state. Walking this line should be a minimal expectation for speaking out. And yet...
