It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

Cartography, like photography, is not an objective field.
Did those photons bounce off of objects in the real world onto a photosensitive receiver? Yes. That actually happened. Was that road actually surveyed? Yes, it really exists. But the way we compose data is anything but neutral.

Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.
Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

I just want to point out that this person notes they felt unsafe for themselves and the people in the car, but there is no mention of the people *outside* the car who could be hurt by this person's poor driving. That is, of course, how most drivers feel every single day.

The way this works is that you either defend Khalil's First Amendment rights, no matter what you think about his specific views, or else you acquiesce to a totalitarian dystopia where the government can disappear people for expressing opinions opposed by the regime. There's really no middle ground.
Good piece on many university presidents' cowardly refusal to speak out against the Trump administration's ghastly, unlawful abduction and detention of Mahmoud Khalil in retaliation against his constitutionally protected speech. No surprise, but a shame nonetheless. slate.com/life/2025/03...

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.
Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.
But it's not over.

It's not that progressives have any agency within the DNC, it's the fact that progressives are the only ones who ever coherently articulate ANYTHING. So we're at fault, for consistently speaking up in actual sentences articulating actual positions. But Harris touring with Liz Cheney is cool.
