I think some people are confusing "poverty line" with "at what level of wealth/income do you need to be at to not get totally screwed by a health event or a major accident?" and the answer in the US is "very, very high"

Greetings from Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where we are staying for a week on the very top floor of this rather Ballardian highrise; the views are wild

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Here’s the program for tonight’s DIFFUSION festival of multi-channel electroacoustic works at the Red Room. I’m going to the first show (doors 7:30 / sound at 8) but you can also make the scene later (second show is doors 9:30 / sound at 10). Eight channels to embrace your ears!

having been interviewed by the WSJ about Charlie Kirk and getting plenty of hate mail as a result, I definitely felt a sting of recognition when reading this excellent essay about the distortions that happen when centrist media turns to academia in search of rage bait
