President Donald Trump gave the greenlight Saturday to the proposed media merger between broadcasters Nexstar and Tegna, a merger that critics warn would have “devastating consequences” for the media landscape.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

Understanding society is dangerous to reactionaries selling racial animus & crushing austerity, while enriching the rich
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

I don’t think Vance is a true believer and so I believe there’s a place inside him left that still feels this shame and hurt.

That some part of him knows that he sold every last inch of his soul he could sell. That he crossed every line of decency and dignity in hope of reward.

And this is reward.

Redistricting between censuses and gerrymandering for political gain sucks and should be ended but FAFO.

A quiet day in my studio with few visitors. That leaves plenty of time to create.

Monk visited.

This is on handmade paper from Bhutan, coated in yellow ochre (a traditional Bhutanese colour).

It’s ink. Roughly 45cm x 33cm
