I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

If you are interested in a primary source for the beginning of next semester, may I recommend the earliest recorded indigenous description of Appalachia, translated by yours truly?

I'm working on a published version and would love any feedback you have as well.

Stubby season is here in the Pacific Northwest and this chonker is showing some big feelings about being photographed by turning white and burying itself in the sand!

This color change is super hard to photograph, let alone light, but I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.

Re-upping this in the wake of ICE/CBP's recent defeats in North Carolina.
To review:

* The fash are weak on admin from gutting the state bureaucracy.

* The fash are weak in otg numbers. Controlling even one part of any major city is a real challenge, especially with any resistance.

* The fash are weak on legitimacy. They are increasingly, widely hated.

So what's left?

The important context left out of most western reporting on the region is that in Israel, "terrorist" is a racial slur
60%+ of Israelis surveyed don't thing the abuses of Palestinian prisoners should be investigated.

84% say the IDF should get an excellent or very good grade for *moral conduct*.

62.5% say a 'terrorist' should be murdered even if they don't pose a threat.

Tbh this is no small part of why I struggle to trust people’s self assessment of “the person I’m meanest to is myself.” In my personal experience, many of the people who (earnestly!) believe this about themselves are also capable of extraordinary cruelty to fat people, but they don’t see it.
HARD AGREE. There’s also such a big gap in how the impacts are conceptualized: there’s a belief that 4chan/incel forums direct their toxicity outward, while pro-ana forums are seen as directing theirs inward, which ignores the massive and ruthless trolling that pro-ana folks aim at fat people.

Black women are down 297,000, but men’s gains have surged to +621,000. That’s a 324,000 widening of the gender gap in two months—a 34% jump. Since February, the swing between black women’s losses and men’s gains approaches 1 million jobs.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
