I've started a Youtube channel for uploading my mixes; I'll still post to Soundcloud as well. I'm going to be posting one old mix per week until Youtube catches up to Soundcloud, then I'll post to both simultaneously.

This is all well and good if you want to succinctly articulate the root of almost all modern evil in Western society. But it doesn't address that one seventh grade trans kid who wants to play intramural soccer with his friends.
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

This actually make me feel different about AI. Sometimes I also can't decide between wanting to cross my arms and at the same time not doing that.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

1873 and the failure of the GOP to actual build durable politics machines in the South killed reconstruction
We killed a quarter of the South’s male population and reduced it to the brink of famine.
It wasn’t a lack of ruthless violence that caused us to fail at Reconstruction later on (we crushed the Klan). It was just plain old exhaustion from war and an economic depression.

👇🎯 @willbunch.bsky.social is right. The reason all the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - from 1865 to now - is because there are never any actual legal, personal, & professional consequences for the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics. That must change this time.

The thing about social currency is as a society we get to decide what is valuable enough for our attention. Start being choosey! Influencers/celebrities need your attention, giving it freely w/o thm even offering anything worth seeing is losing the plot. Block, ignore, don't share or engage esp now.

I miss the era when things were otherwise running so uneventfully the press would feast on a sex scandal like this until someone blinked.
Corey Lewandowski "fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after [Kristi] Noem's blanket was left behind on a plane" — a decision that was reversed when they realized they needed someone to take them home.
People said Noem and Lewandowski "do little to hide their relationship inside the department."

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.
