There is a story here that deserves to be told in its entirety, just for its core literary depiction of what, exactly, Richard Dawkins is.

My favorite anarchism story is the guy (always a guy) on Twitter who went on a long rant about how all the criticisms of anarchism had already been solved and you can't make them anymore because the two anarchists you never heard of discussed it in a meetings a few years back and hashed it out.

An uncomfortable thought is that the artist, in order to be successful, must in crude terms manipulate us. They must craft for us things that will engage our emotions and move us to feeling, to change the shape of our soul. These basic tools are the same stuff that a malign actor uses for their ends
one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

During the post Ferguson actions, local black bloc folks regularly smashed windows and got into street fights with older folks who tried to stop them.
That this has remained a point of debate or thing to defend amongst online folks is baffling.

You're getting more Lester Freamon brained by obsessing about the money.
I'm getting more Lester Freamon brained by devoting every spare minute to my niche side hustle that funds my retirement.

I'm getting more and more Lester Freamon-brained the further we get into everyone being obsessed with who exactly is in the emails, and nothing being asked about the money
Many multi-billion fund managers aren't worth that.Unlike public at large, you should point out what very clearly was happening and why ppl invested in a *nobody*(hi Leon). Would rather read about that than minister of agriculture of Tanzania "implicated" because someone wrote his name in one email

The social movements of the 00s and 10s¹ was a combination of third wave feminisms², critical race legal theory, vulgar Marxism filtered through punk rock via my chemical romance, hacker impulses, and roughly a generation raised on sesame street being bored at the office or high/grad school...

A way to tell the long Story of Backlash is that those with power, roundly white men, became so upset that women and minorities entered the university on their meritocritous terms and did not continue to produce knowledges that flattered them, that they rejected the concept of expertise in general.
it's also the first major instance of some of the dynamics that have happened in other fields now reaching finance/money: highly credentialed have 1) a tendency to preserve decorum and 2) cannot process the extent someone is a partisan hack, whereas process-based people are freeer to call charlatan

The Bay Ridge Trail getting National Scenic Trail designation would be neat, especially if it helped the last 100 or so miles get done.

Bay Area’s giant 550-mile trail could earn same status as Pacific Crest Trail
A 550-mile hiking and biking trail encircling the Bay Area might soon gain a prized federal recognition that would put it in the same class as the Pacific Crest Trail and Appalachian Trail.
