So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.
That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse. Jason CO @jasonc_nc. 2/8/25 I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist. • 24 L7 1.8K 15K Ill 399K ...

Even compared to the dire state of the newspaper business in general, Black newspapers in particular are getting fucking hammered.
During a diversity roundtable last month at the National Press Club, the Rev. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., president and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, gave shocking news on the state of the Black press on the eve of its bicentennial. "We all have felt the damp hands of oppression and suppression over the last 12 months," said Chavis, whose trade association represents more than 200 African American-owned community newspapers. "I'm going to be very honest: We've lost advertising revenue 80% over the last 12 months."

New update, including my reasoning that getting off US tech means deleting Uber and going back to taxis instead of jumping to another labor-violating ride-hailing service.
I find it unbelievable when I talk to people who are adamant about getting off US tech, only to find out they continue to use Uber and/or Lyft. These are not only US-based companies when local transportation options are available, but they have (especially Uber) actively worked for nearly two decades to undermine not just the rights of drivers, but labor rights more widely by fighting to ensure workers can be reclassified as contractors. If you’re serious about getting off US tech, Uber must go. What’s the alternative? Listen, you can look for a non-US ride-hailing company, but many of them have adopted the same model that sought to side step the regulatory structure created over decades to balance the needs of drivers, riders, and the community as a whole. When I’m at home, I call the taxi company whose office is just a few minutes away or use their app. When I’m in a new city and need to take a taxi, I enjoy figuring out which one is the most reliable. Many taxi apps are surprisingly capable.

Saw Bill DeBlasio on a walk with his wife by greenwood cemetery on my way to the vet, less than a month from Eric Adams being sworn in

Unrelated but at the subway beforehand a woman that had the air of celebrity was wearing a facemask and sunglasses (underground???) very pick-me reality star energy

i often think about this review
Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

DRAGONET DANCE (2018)
Oil on Canvas - 20” x 16”

This began as a demo piece, working from a doodle done by an audience member. 1/2

#art
A naked woman engages a tiny dragon in playful dance out on the limb of a barren tree. Her arms are flung wide with fingers arched expressively. As she raises a knee in a high step, long blonde hair trails her motion. The limb snakes out like a woody tendril from an abstract tree shape. The trunk is covered in bark-like shingles and ends in a knobby P-shape with bare branches shooting off wildly from its terminal knot.
