Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

The next person who tells me not to be a nihilist needs to explain why not. Explain to me why a known racist, rapist, and federal felon is now a hair's breadth away from a position of power that will make him a literal monarch over the most powerful nation on earth. Seriously, explain that to me?

right. the president could order troops to suppress protesters using live fire and the supreme court would extend that absolute immunity

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

Are we done? Is the US as we knew it, over? Feels like it’s over. Feels like it’s over and we’re just talking about the how of it and not the if.

SCOTUS is telling us that it has completely signed on to the project of a second Trump administration, which is establishing an elected autocracy.

Hear, hear: “In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump. Trump, 78, has been on the political stage for eight years marked by chaos, corruption, and incivility. Why go back to that?”

I follow a few publishing people. Anyone have a rough estimate on print leads time for 200+ page a hardcover book? Months, weeks? Thx.

I'm not exactly sure what they spiked the Vergecast punch with this week but the snark meter is off the scale. It's been a challenge to get actual information and insight this week.

Genuinely, how can you make policy for regular people when your life is this far removed from theirs? What can you possibly know about what regular people need? Who would you be hearing that from? The other people eating $65 steaks five nights a week?

One of the greatest challenges in journalism and other fact-finding is conveying the sheer scope of absurdity in the way rich people live. Same thing with that story today about the private jets that fly people’s cars around.

This difference is in Simone Weil's THE NEED FOR ROOTS, which I've thrown out often enough you all may be sick of it - the difference between a need and a desire is that a need can be sated. We've lost the ability to tell the difference, or so forgive obsessive pursuit of desire.

Every time I read articles about extremely wealthy people/companies engaging in unethical behavior to become even more wealthy, I think about this excerpt from the book the psychology of money. The endless quest for more is so damaging, especially when pursed by those who already have enough.
