Our (tech, ahem, my) culture has been a low-key dumpster fire for decades, DOGE was just a distillation of it

I'm really glad this person made this change to the chart. I want to also point out something in the original report, here: www.epi.org/publication/... It says "Our focus on 2019 and 2023 allows us to largely ignore the dramatic swings in employment and wages in 2020 and

Just dropping a little Stuart Hall casually, like demurely showing your poker hand and it’s a full house
In my article, I quoted something from Stuart Hall's "Culture, Community, Nation," an essay first published in a 1993 issue of Cultural Studies. He writes:
"It should not be necessary to look, walk, feel, think, speak exactly like a paid-up member of the buttoned-up, stiff-upper-lipped, ...

"The United States isn’t a nation like other nations, and it never has been. There is no American ethnicity to back up the state, and there was no such distinctive ethnicity even in 1776, when the U.S. was created."--Gordon Wood www.wsj.com/opinion/why-...
Opinion | Why America Is a ‘Creedal Nation’
The distinguished historian says the U.S. isn’t like other nations and never has been. There is no American ethnicity to back up the state.

Pretending (I believe) to cast about for words, Beckett wrote in a letter to his long-time extramarital partner Barbara Bray the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read about coping with loss, “leave the rest to the stream, to carry now away and bring you your other happy days.”

Confused by vague/cryptic posts of amazement from reporters tonight?
I’ll break it down for you:
After Olivia Nuzzi began doing press for her upcoming book (about her affair with RFK Jr.), reporter Ryan Lizza (Nuzzi’s ex) published an essay claiming that Nuzzi also had an affair with Mark Sanford.

All of my interviews were in hotel rooms, which was bizarre and awkward for everyone, a high bar for my field (philosophy) which is notorious for its obliviousness
If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

What a terrible, heavy loss.
Heartbroken to hear of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social ‘s transition to be a crip anscestor AND feeling so honored to have been alive in the time as this brilliant human, and gotten to learn from her.
May her memory continue to always be a blessing.
