"(Hitler's) feeling for men is not that they co-exist, but that they are capable of being arranged and standardized by a superior intellect...." - E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web
An insistence that power should follow "superiority" is essential to fascism.

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

It really feels like the goal here is to sully the things we found pure and good because they keep doing this.
The author's granddaughter drew a sharp contrast between the federal raids and the ideals E.B. White highlighted in the beloved book, in a statement Martha White shared with CNN. https://cnn.it/4pk2rwx

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

I've been thinking a lot about that dude in 2020, who was studying in the us from abroad and remarked upon how Americans pathologically work through everything even the mass death brought on by a pandemic.

When I was a kid in the 80s & 90s our summer vacations were road trips from FL to NY to visit fam & friends of my parents there and along the way. I remember basements being amazing novelties (or terrifying, depending on whose) and generally loved being in other ppl’s homes and checking things out

My math genius friend who has been dying to offer me (a math-avoidant dyscalculia person) math tutoring but I've all along managed to skirt math-related courses since like 20 years ago when working on my AA BUT... It's happening in January and she's very excited. I hope it doesn't tank me.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.
It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

I carved this wk out to be a chill one bc I'm nearly over hours for the month w this contract job. Mapped a perfect-on-paper day of a little work, a little school. I was only able to work & panic? Something's up w my foot in 2 ways. On one, primary suggested gout; other, podiatrist suggested cancer.
