weird how a country organized around the principle "let's monetize every single human interaction to benefit an idle, vampiric shareholder class" is falling apart like a wet cardboard box

surreal experience driving around Los Angeles on the 4th: it's like a minefield, fireworks blowing up all around you (sometimes right next to you), sounds like the city is under siege and the horizon at dusk makes you feel like you're in an '80s crime thriller

this. that’s why they rig elections, that’s why they stockpile guns, that’s why they puff their chests out and act tough. they’re in the minority. and at their core, they’re weak.

I feel like this should go without saying but the only sane & responsible vote is November is the one that prevents Trump from taking office & finishing off American democracy. Unless something extremely surprising happens, that choice will be Joe Biden. And in any event it will be the D nominee.

The sexiest thing anyone can be is enthusiastic. Be excited about something. It hardly matters what - jazz, sports, insects, the French revolution - just be engrossed by something fully and completely. Don't be afraid to love it. Please, I beg of you.

the answer ultimately comes down to whoever has the political will to do it, i think. that is one of the lessons of reconstruction, imo. without a political coalition willing to enforce the constitution whatever it takes, the laws and rules of the game are just words on paper

“Do not use your phone to answer phone calls” is not advice as much as it’s a condemnation of regulatory inaction that has led a vital means of communication to ruin.

When you look up a word in the dic•tio•nary, the dots in the middle of the word aren't there to mark out the syllables of the word; they mark where you can put a hyphen if the word doesn't fit on one line. Sometimes that corresponds with syllables, sometimes not. (See "dictionary" above!)

The modern conception of journalistic "objectivity" is a pretty recent invention, largely post-WWII. The muckrakers that defied oligarchs and forged the field didn't hide their views. At all. E.g. Ida B. Wells both investigated lynching and openly called for people to shoot the klan with guns.

absolutely this. republicans thrive on decline! republican policies bring economic decline which brings outmigration of young people and professionals, which strengthens the republican hold on government which brings even more conservative policies which brings greater decline, etc.
