I’ve been rewatching the Twilight Zone and finding several relevant and interesting episodes. The episode “Back There” is a time travel episode. At the end there is a very straightforward explanation of how generational wealth works and the advantages it brings to the inheritors.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Bumping this again. I really need to raise $900 by Thursday. Anything is helpful, even if it’s just RTing this post.
I’m sorry for having to do this so much all summer, but I’m trying to raise funds to keep our room until I get paid next. Stretch goal would be being able to get my phone bill current but the roof is the most important. Anything helps, even just sharing this far and wide.

Another deeply troubling sign
Morning Briefing: Department of Defense inspector general has halted an investigation of the military's countering extremism program, because the 'project does not align with President Donald Trump's executive orders.'

I think this was the entire conclusion of @jamieloftus.bsky.social "My Year In Mensa" podcast which all of you should definitely listen to so you can understand how these people actually are.

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)
Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Most folks put off taking action because they’re afraid they’ll lose something, but you’re gonna come out of this materially worse either way so it may as well be on your terms.

Laws like this will not stop at porn. They will be used to shut down your podcast, your YouTube channel, your newsletter, zine, record label, etc. You'd be surprised to see how expansive the definition for "porn" can become when lawmakers don't like what you're saying.
A lot of folks said that warnings of Project 2025 were alarmist. We hope you are supporting the efforts of @fsc.bsky.social, y’all. They are fighting these battles on our behalf in the courts. www.404media.co/oklahoma-sen...

America chose to elect a convicted felon, a racist, an adjudicated rapist, and authoritarian who incited an insurrection. Whether we like it or not, this is who we are. We chose to go back instead of moving forward. We chose darkness over light. I’m truly sad for us and for the world.
