I never thought someone so banal and stupid could be a monster, but here we are. I thought our monsters would be smarter and more incisive. No, we get the dumbass monsters we deserve, apparently. The banality of evil indeed. Hannah Arendt was right.

Also if you’re unwilling to be confrontational with powerful people you just should not be a journalist. You aren’t cut out for it.

Old Polish joke; two old friends meet for the first time in a while and stop to chat. "How's your year been?" asks the first. The second one shrugs. "Oh, you know" he says, "about average. Worse than last year, better than the next."
2025 actually did suck. i know we've all said this about a lot of previous years but this one was quite bad actually

Yes
"Obviously, we can ask: did God really take pity on the human race, or is this merely a gratuitous joke, to mock man once again by holding out before him the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of his own origins, whereas this is in fact merely a mirage?"

one of the reasons you should block is the realization that one of the main reasons people who annoy or bother you comment has little to do with you. they want to use you as a kind of publishing medium

I hope you're having a happy Thanksgiving. Here's a great piece from @kaliholloway.bsky.social on how Turkey Day was long opposed by white evangelicals as a holiday for woke Yankees www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Make Thanksgiving Radical Again
The holiday’s real roots lie in abolition, liberation, and anti-racism. Let’s reconnect to that legacy.

Hendrix was the purest distillation of rock, as it had advanced in the 1960s. His tragic and untimely death meant that rock lives in his eternal shadow.

Also, he was a weird little guy.

This is why you can’t have just a little bit of secret police on the side, as a treat. Abolish DHS or abolish democracy
I understand the incredulity. The problem is that you have to go through TSA on all domestic flights and TSA is DHS and when they scan your ID they see all the DHS records.

"WHY'S SHE DOING THAT?? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, I'M BORED" well the cool thing about following a narrative is that eventually if you keep watching or reading or listening, magical bits of information are doled out

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

When Democrats propose a bill limiting the President’s power to deploy National Guard troops on US soil they should name the act after the guardsmen who tragically lost their lives today because of Trump’s capricious decision to deploy them to DC for no good reason.

Whatever happened in DC is very bad and it will lead to right wing calls for all sorts of stupid awful things, but the regime didn't suddenly get better at authoritarianism overnight and mostly they'll have moved on to the War on Christmas by Black Friday.
This is now the fifth time I've heard it this year. LA invasion, DC invasion, Kirk's murder, second No Kings protest.

If you want to live under a king, you ultimately wish to be a slave to that person’s commands.

If you want to live under a democracy, you wish to be free to do anything that’s allowed under the law.

The people who want authoritarianism don’t feel confident enough to live with real freedom.

i feel like a lot of the disconnect between the ai boosters and the rest of us is about the fact that they do not think the humanities matter, therefore political, sociological, and cultural critiques don’t matter. “people are using this” is not an answer to “this is a detriment to society”

Leftism doesn't mean "I get other people's labor for free because I'm poor" and Capitalism isn't a synonym for "selling things." At this rate, online leftists are going to polarize themselves into fighting wars for Anthropic and OpenAI bc they've "nationalized art."
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!
