I was just sitting at a traffic light and started laughing out loud alone in my car because I remembered the part of Home Alone where Daniel Stern goes "maybe he committed suicide." it's truly Christmas.

The worst thing about the current historical moment is that in 200 years some smug revisionist historian is going to give a conference paper on how the politics of the 2020s really were entirely rational and a sensible response to material conditions at the time.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

👇 This is a) obviously correct b) resisted by most in the political class because it makes so much of what we do redundant.
My extremely simple heuristic for the current political system is that until you can go food shopping and think prices haven’t increased / things aren’t expensive etc don’t expect any material political continuity.

It is fascinating that a genuinely intelligent person like Clinton cannot fathom people just disagreeing with her based on the evidence, clearly this is a racial (and ideological) blindspot on her part, but this is true for pretty much everyone of her generation and of her particular elite cohort.

people pirate most stuff when they're broke as shit and buy all they can when they're not, except for all the shit you can't see without piracy 'cause no one sells it. people pay when they have the cash and, increasingly, they have no cash. blame The End Of Mass Prosperity In The Imperial Core.
piracy discourse is so exhausting and passe, but i will observe that every truly great collector of physical media I know has a big harddrive of pirated books and movies. you literally cannot have one without the other

This is why I was telling Will Stancil that he was making a much more robust argument than Hillary Clinton was a few weeks ago— Hillary Clinton thinks that social media is the only reason people sympathize with Palestinians, and evidently she thinks Bari Weiss and CBS are the solution.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
