I’m VERY slowly settling in here. Maybe I’ll hang up my hat and stay for a bit OR maybe I won’t, but for now please know that I’m going to be all over the place topically. Buckle up! (Clifford Brown in the pfp)

Birdwood plantation is being rebranded as a “mansion” “rumored to have been constructed by some of Founding Father Thomas Jefferson's own builders” turned into a luxury hotel that can booked for weddings. Smh.

I have to rewatch this movie! It’s been a VERY long time since I last saw it. Will it join my other unorthodox Christmas movies like Trading Places?
Yearly reminder that the best Christmas action movie is actually The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

And when I say he is trying to pass for white I mean he is trying to live in the world as if he is not Black, not that he‘s trying to hide his ancestry — though he’s not making a point of talking about that. None of the press coverage has focused on it because the reporters are incompetent on race.

Proud of my brilliant, beautiful, and brave wife, Tamar Raphael, who did what she had to do while speaking at the Frankfurt Book Fair and made a statement in support of Palestinian rights. She was later viciously attacked by a digital mob of Israeli fascists, but she’s fine.

As soon as I heard about David Sack’s whiny comments about AI-related investments and recession risks, I thought immediately of his pleas for bailing out SVB. @ruoshuiresearch.bsky.social captures it very well in this thread.

The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.
my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center
