My student, Graham Stevenson, just released a new album, Cris de dégoût. Graham performs as Grumpus, singing and playing all the instruments. The album is awesome. Please give it a listen and, if you like it, let others know!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Until recently, I don't think I properly appreciated how great a band R.E.M. was. I don't love everything they did, but they are indispensable. And a perfect band for vinyl.

Are we entering the authoritarian overreach stage—in which a leader, high on his own supply, can’t see his own precarity? If opinion keeps moving in this direction, MAGA will be voted out. But when defeat becomes imminent, fascism turns to force to cling to power. No matter what, it'll be ugly.

What Trump has wrought: a reversal of attitudes on immigration. Now we're an immigrant nation again, we need more immigrants to maintain our economy, and Trump's persecution of immigrants is just wrong.

Thrilled to see this work by @shargou.bsky.social and Jaime Napier out in SPPS!

Across 13 countries, they find that neoliberal policies (labor deregulation and reduced gov spending) predict stronger individualist attributions for poverty (e.g., poor people are lazy).

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I can't imagine a satisfying answer to the hard problem of consciousness (i.e., one that makes matter's ability to create experience any less mysterious).

Has anybody else read Tony Tulathimutte's _Rejection_? I found it to be hilarious, poignant, beautifully written — and (obviously) extraordinarily lurid. It made me want to log off permanently, which makes it a self-help book.
