while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Here’s the program for tonight’s DIFFUSION festival of multi-channel electroacoustic works at the Red Room. I’m going to the first show (doors 7:30 / sound at 8) but you can also make the scene later (second show is doors 9:30 / sound at 10). Eight channels to embrace your ears!

having been interviewed by the WSJ about Charlie Kirk and getting plenty of hate mail as a result, I definitely felt a sting of recognition when reading this excellent essay about the distortions that happen when centrist media turns to academia in search of rage bait
I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it.
