If you are an architect, developer, or contractor who works on high-rise buildings in the US and has some very vague familiarity with the costs and complexity of high-rise systems (fire command centers, stair pressurization, generators, etc.), could you email me? [email protected]

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

And that’s deliberately not mentioning Los Banos, Chico, Madera, Vacaville, and Manteca. (And Las Pulgas, out over in rich people land on the peninsula.)
Can’t believe someone was singing in Spanish in Santa Clara, California, where San Francisco’s football team plays. Going to have to talk to my old high school and college friends from San Rafael, San Anselmo, Tiburon, Corte Madera, Novato, Sausalito, Alameda, El Cerrito, and Santa Rosa about this.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

THIS. They’re in the South Metro now, hitting Carver County & Minneapolis suburbs HARD.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
They’re detaining observers because ICE & CBP believe the real problem is people filming them, not that ICE & CBP is committing domestic terror.
Less footage = less national news coverage.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

There were 89,000 polling places in 2022.
8 states have all-mail elections.
At least 5,000,000 Americans marched in the October No Kings demonstrations.
They have 15,000 guys. They couldn't "surround the polls" if they wanted to.

Long Covid friends—
A bill in the Maryland legislature would create an R&D fund for LC—a big deal when new federal funding is stalled.
The advocate behind the bill is asking for people anywhere to submit written testimony on Fri 2/6 on your experience w/LC, to say why this is needed!

Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker
