Just because our language objectifies, it doesn’t make us objects

We’re not so much bodies as we are bodying, and being bodied
Hot take:
"Nature vs Nurture" is dumb because they arent all that separable. The outside environment, which includes the nurturing, flows in and out of you all the time and it affects gene expression regularly. You also alter the environment which will then change you again afterwards.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

‘“Pause Evictions, Save Lives” is up next’

Mayor Frey resisted our $1 million rental assistance funding to the very end. Now he’s claiming credit.

But we’re not fooled. “Pause Evictions, Save Lives” is up next to give residents more time to connect with rental assistance before facing eviction. Tell your Council Member to vote "yes"!

Taking responsibility and accountability is a good thing

Admitting to wrongs done, to pernicious lies pushed, to complicity, cover-ups, genocides.. all of this is a good thing to do

But - no surprise - to this administration, all of that is bad and indicates wrongness
This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

Sound familiar? That’s because it’s based on the same junk stats used in every state and city in the USA…
President Lee of South Korea just blasted the Korea Chamber of Commerce & Industry for spreading “fake news” about millionaires leaving the country.

Sound familiar? That’s because it was based on the same junk stats used to scare the UK public away from wealth taxes.

many twists and turns, surprises ahead. we ain’t got good at understanding what reality is let alone making accurate predictions about it
"Before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the consensus among Western military analysts was that it would be a cakewalk." War continues to defy expectations. ICYMI @gabeschoenfeld.bsky.social reviews Phillips Payson O’Brien's "War and Power":
Why War Still Surprises
It’s as old as humankind and has been closely studied by great minds—yet it continues to defy predictions.
