Been thinking this morning about how if you're a US freelancer and you haven't increased your rates by about 6% since June 2025, you're taking a pay cut.
Which also means: if you're a publisher and haven't increased what you're paying by 6%, you've given your staff/freelancers a pay cut.

It’s tiresome and repetitive but I think it may be imperative every time fascism tells this fundamentally antisemitic lie that every Jew who knows even a bit of what’s what—I know a bit—says explicitly “this isn’t for me. It’s against me & everyone human.”

Miller’s family fled the pogroms of the Pale of Settlement, which implies, if one believes this racist pseudoscience, that Miller himself is projecting the terror of his broken homeland and should immediately self-deport
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I was on a phone call with my sisters when this box bug decided it needed to land on my glasses, for reasons unknown. To my credit I was never *scared* but it was a startling moment.

Unexpected Silkroad Ensemble appearance
Boring hobby I've picked up: Listening to a Grammy winning album in some genre I don't know much about. Probably not putting Silkroad and Yo-Yo Ma on heavy rotation but why not challenge myself a little as I work. Music that hasn't become familiar/comforting puts you in a different state of mind.

TIL! (And I grew up in NYC and lived there for the first half of my adult life)
One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

racism and xenophobia are costly AF
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
