2/9. The amount is shocking because we’re thinking through the lens of normal amounts of money. But we have to remember: these people are not normal. Their wealth is on an entirely different scale. This tool is helpful for visualizing it: mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-weal...

Wealth, shown to scale

Wealth inequality in the United States is out of control. Here we visualize the issue in a unique way.

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

And before everyone suggests Mint and YNAB and and and... can't use those. I need investments, personal, multiple businesses, tax sorting, and I need everything downloadable from online.

Smooth jazz version of "Losing my Religion"in the fingerprinting waiting room. This is how I imagined purgatory.

Ok, did not expect “The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe” to feel quite so relevant to this moment.

Here’s Edmund, deciding to side with the leader who he’s been told disappears people.

He did want Turkish Delight and to be a prince (and later a king) and to pay Peter out for calling him a beast. As for what the Witch would do with the others, he didn't want her to be particularly nice to them - certainly not to put them on the same level as himself; but he managed to believe, or to pretend he believed, that she wouldn't do anything very bad to them, 'Because,' he said to himself, 'all these people who say nasty things about her are her enemies and probably half of it isn't true. She was jolly nice to me, anyway, much nicer than they are. I expect she is the rightful Queen really. Anyway, she'll be better than that awful Aslan!' At least, that was the excuse he made in his own mind for what he was doing. It wasn't a very good excuse, however, for deep down inside him he really knew that the White Witch was bad and cruel.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Thank you! It was scary to give, but I'm glad I did. It needed to be said and so far we've only gotten one membership resignation over it, so I'm calling that a win.

With friends and allies like these, who needs enemies? It's truly a perfect illustration of the reality of being an American Jew anywhere close to the left side of the political spectrum today.

Jew on Bluesky: 500+ posts in the last year about how Israel needs to stop the occupation and Palestinians deserve to be free.

Same Jew on Bluesky: I'm tired of antisemitism, y'all.

Comments: Free Palestine! Zionist colonizer! Genocide enabler! I'm not the antisemite, you're the antisemite!

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

To be accurate, the OP *has* spoken out against it and people are *still* being antisemitic in her comments. And that's the point. No amount of Jews speaking out against what Israel is doing seems to stop the antisemitism.

Fascinating that these right wing goons who are so anti abortion are so chill about using abortion-causing chemicals on crowds.

alison says reinstate Link! @alisonborealis.bsky.social · 17d

Never forget that chemical warfare including tear gas is not only illegal in actual war, but carries powerfully damaging chemicals including abortifacients that can cause lasting harm to people's reproductive cycles.

This morning's coffee is the best of the year. Whether you're celebrating Yom Kaput (for all the HHD volunteers and service leaders) or Yom Kafeh (first caffeinated coffee after Yom Kippur), I hope you have a great one.
