My car died, and the world is on fire, so I have not had the spoons to create a Patreon and blah blah but I did get a video up explaining some of the problem I'm trying to fix with the Good Potato Project. More to come, once I stop screaming.

Why does everything need to be "hyper-personalized"? Why would that be better? Why not share in common cultural experiences? It's fun when we're all comparing our perspectives about some event, it brings us together. So why would they.....

this is a really important point. the district courts are trying to contain this administration. the circuits, by and large, are still working, with the occasional exception of the 5th, 8th, and DC circuits.
the Supreme Court is on an island. lawless and completely rogue.

This is the last gasp of an argument that is lost. A critical mass of people now see that poll-following is just status quo politics.
I have been on about this for about five years now, and I feel very gratified that pressure has now built to change it.
Let’s go. Fight and win.

Life in prison for this shit.
I'm not joking. The only reason that's not the statutory sentence is that US torture laws only apply to torture committed OUTSIDE the US; torture committed INSIDE the US isn't a separate crime

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.

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If you've been meaning to delete that Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp account you never use, now would be a really good time!
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.”

New from me, at @vqr.bsky.social: a few years ago two people contacted me about a TEDx talk I once gave, “The Art of Haunting.”
When I replied I’d never given a TEDx talk, things just got weirder.
