Word cloud with “lie”, “health”, “scandal” and “president” all prominent, but all words are dwarfed by “email”

Also his essay about when something crosses the line from “special treat” to object of addiction basically permanently changed the way I understand my brain
11:32 But the analogy between television and liquor is best, I think. Because I'm afraid Joe Briefcase is a teleholic. Watching TV can become malignantly addictive. TV may become malignantly addictive only once a certain threshold of quantity is habitually passed, but then the same is true of whiskey. And by "malignant" and "addictive" I again do not mean evil or coercive. An activity is addictive if one's relationship to it lies on that downward-sloping continuum between liking it a little too much and downright needing it. Many addictions, from exercise to letter-writing, are pretty benign. But something is malignantly addictive if (1) it causes real problems for the addict, and (2) it offers itself as relief from the very problems it causes. A malignant addiction is also distinguished for spreading the problems of the addiction out and in in interference patterns, creating difficulties for relationships, communities, and the addict's very sense of self and soul. The hyperbole might strain the analogy for you, but concrete illustrations of malignant TV-watching cycles aren't hard to come by. If it's true that many Americans are lonely, and if it's true that many lonely people are prodigious TV-watchers, and if it's true that lonely people find in television's 2D images relief from the pain of their reluctance to be around real humans, then it's also obvious that the more time spent watching TV, the less time spent in the real human world, and the less time spent in the real human world, the harder it becomes not to feel alienated from real humans, solipsistic, lonely. It's also true that to the extent one begins to view pseudo-relationships with Bud

I find it kind of a bummer that two of the politicians with the most uncut, correct, no bullshit stance on ICE/Miller/DHS are running for the same Senate seat, while New York has two squishes who will only do the bare minimum reluctantly

Doing some candidate research
Screenshot of a text exchange with a congressional campaign; my response to them asking for my vote reads: “I would LOVE to vote for Analilia, she seems like a great candidate, but I'm waiting to hear from her campaign if she will work to remove Hakeem Jeffries from leadership. I am currently a single issue voter and that is it. Do you know if she'll do that?”
