Also, maybe we should stop venerating individuals. And focus on communities and networks.

Bitterness and cynicism are a form of surrender, when anger at injustice remains but the will to confront it is dulled by resignation. As true warriors, let anger at injustice be bright and righteous, and let it drive us to confront its cause, stand in its way, and cast it down.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Excellent article, realistic and thoughtful.
Are the nuclear weapons boosters just another form of ammosexual gun nuts?
And where do we go from here as long as two unstable individuals are capable of great violence?

very interesting. "Schopenhauer’s most unsettling claim is also his simplest: wanting does not end because a goal has been reached. Wanting ends only when life ends."

Anyone wanna just like, idk, go in on an alternative internet or something that doesn't allow ANY genAI content whatsoever? I am so fucking done with the unavoidably proliferating AI slop.
Think we can throw that together on a few academics' salaries?

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

More than a year in this has mostly gone as I feared, and in some ways has been worse. But there have been two contrasting surprises:
-- The speed and breadth of institutional capitulation
-- The courage, ferocity, and resolution of regular people
Our strength isn't our institutions. It's us.

Editors of America Magazine, a Jesuit magazine, come out against more funding for ICE “without reform.” www.americamagazine.org/editorials/2...
No more funding for ICE without reform. Congress must act.
Catholic leaders, including bishops and ideally the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as a body, should join Cardinal Tobin in calling for withholding funding until reforms are enacted.

Welcome The Stranger. It's that simple
open the fucking borders. the only immigration officials should be fruit and ag inspectors we do not need people with guns
La Migra have always been monsters, be they INS, ICE, CBP, HSI or any other weird slush fund org.
Just nobody heard the brown people who were their primary prey when they told you.
immigration isn’t a problem in need of violence. It needs more paths & access, open doors. All else funds cartels.
