That new one (Touch This Fragrant Surface of Earth) is phenomenal. Listened through twice on the plane yesterday, a very good half-awake flight soundtrack.

Welp, my tossed-off post with a funny-to-me Gen X reference seems to have graduated to the Discover tab; time to turn off the replies

Why do I feel almost certain Bari used AI to write this list

spooky mental haunted house @jesseltaylor.bsky.social · 2d

read item 5, then read the rest of the incredibly repetitive list full of euphemisms and jargon

Patrick Hruby @patrickhruby.bsky.social · 2d

This list could easily be condensed to five items

Doing a sober, serious-minded TV interview about Bari Weiss's appointment to head up CBS News in which I make evidence-based arguments but say her name in the Borat "very nice" voice every time I mention her.

Every time I read something that Stephen Miller has said, all that comes to mind is "shut up little man." I feel like everywhere he goes, he should be shouted down with a chorus of "shut up little man," just because you know it would drive him absolutely berserk.

Yeah, iOS, and the latest version of the app. Just started acting up a week or two ago AFAIK

Weirdly, once I put my phone in airplane mode I was able to access some of the articles that wouldn’t load over WiFi or mobile data?!

Really wish the @newyorker.com would fix its mobile app, getting tired of not being able to load articles (even after deleting and reinstalling the app)

“What about frogs?”
“I like frogs!”

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something

On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Finally watched Eddington, and wondering how many MAGA-curious FOX viewers took it as proof that Antifa flies around in a Soros-funded private plane, staging insurrections
