highlight of this article is ken burns burying a street interview tiktok guy in an early grave www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Next: Thompson Street, named after William Thompson, a "not very distinguished" general. A car with a Vermont plate nearly grazed Burns, but he was unfazed;
Vermont was not yet a state during the Revolution, "so how can he hit me?" He passed a Marc Jacobs (not a general) boutique and hit Wooster Street, named after General David Wooster. As he crossed Greene ("You cannot say enough about the importance of Nathanael Greene"), a bro in a backward cap started filming Burns on his own smartphone and asked, "What do you do for a living"
"Ignore strangers," Burns said
"Hey, a stranger's a friend in disguise," the bro replied.
"I'm just teasing you. I'm a filmmaker"
"Have you made something that I might have heard of?"
"Doubtful," Burns said, and scurried away. He stopped at Mercer Street

so this is kind of [apologies in advance] the fukuyama theory of pedocons. people crave not just power but recognition. but recognition only *matters* when it comes from a genuine human other--which is to say, someone who might also decline to respect you. for the powerful that's a *problem*

the thing that struck me reading about this in various places (chiefly Ashley Mears' excellent book) is that many want the *illusion* of consent and equality - they want to believe that these 19-year-olds are genuinely excited about the prospect of sex with them, and that their skill won them over.

This is why everyone's treating the 2024 election as a Schmittian extraconstitutional referendum that imbued Trump with the power of a dictator

Because the one thing it CAN'T be is a normal election under the Madisonian constitutional order

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

i think the two social spheres of my life being an online politics-and-fandom world where anitzionism is taken for granted and an irl jewish religious world where zionism is taken for granted have done odd things to my ability to conceptualize my actual views

Once upon a time, "I have given my word and I must keep it" would have been the epitome of a conservative position.

I miss that old tweed-stuffed, Kipling-quoting, country-squire model of conservative. Awful they may have been at times, but they weren't generally cads and spivs.

So I’ve been busy with a ton of other stuff, but basically, China just purged, basically all, of the senior leadership of the military - He Weidong was CMC Vice Chair, Miao Hua was head of the political department. Seeing some stuff about key branch leadership also going.
