In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich."

A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Not many people know this, but all of the major political changes and social movement successes of the twentieth century -- from the New Deal to the civil rights movement to the Great Society -- were achieved because Democratic voters lay perfectly still and never pushed their representatives to act

The Warner Archive Blu-ray of 7 Women (1965) comes out today, so I interviewed John Ford biographer Joseph McBride about his personal history with this much maligned masterpiece + the 6 minutes of missing footage he is seeking to restore: oldnew.substack.com/p/ford-focus...

conservatives/republicans going full on fascist with occupying cities with the military is yet another reminder to NEVER TAKE CONSERVATISM SERIOUSLY. THEIR CRITICISMS AREN'T REAL. YOU CAN'T MEET THEM HALF WAY. THEY AREN'T A SERIOUS IDEOLOGY. THEY CAN ONLY BE CRUSHED, NOT DEBATED.

thank you.

There are many complicated explanations for why Dems have spent 50 yrs losing lots of elections, but theres also a simple one:

Dems were a majority party for decades when they championed New Deal-ism & they became a losing party when they sided with money & discarded that legacy

I noticed in the sepulveda DEIR that alternative 1 requires the removal of the I-405 southbound on ramp from sunset boulevard. That ought to switch some pro monorail car drivers in the area to being anti monorail… if they hear about it.

We often ask ourselves, how did these things happen? Who was so evil as to carry out those actions?

Ordinary people did it. The type of people you think of as "your neighbors", "that nice guy down the street".

Terry Pratchett also described that line of thought well.

Literally had this thought on Saturday during a more heavy than usual round of turbulence.

Like I am in a metal tube 30,000ft in the air bouncing around in my seat sipping a whiskey and most people here are completely unbothered. Meanwhile I am having an existential crisis about inventions.

Tourism to the U.S. will face two collapses. 1st collapse is immediate of potential tourists on the lower rungs of wealth & less right wing. 2nd collapse is long developing w/ chilling effect tail, it is after remaining tourists return home and receive social/econ consequences for going to the U.S.

Congestion pricing is an unqualified triumph. One of the most immediately, strikingly successful public policies of my lifetime.
“The MTA as a whole is averaging 448K more public transit riders per day this year…The MTA ridership growth since congestion pricing went into effect is almost 50% larger than the total ridership of America’s next-largest subway system.” bettercities.substack.com/p/congestion...
