What's instructional about this is that it took a constitutional amendment, something that is basically impossible in America

Journalist trying, against all common sense, to stay positive in 2020: I look forward to funding my journalism through exciting new blockchain technology! In 2026: Or wait, hold on, now I look forward to producing 700 features a month with AI technology!

"I knew that I couldn’t think as Foucault did, but perhaps I could think about him." The humility of this line, or something else maybe, made me tear up. great essay @marxforcats @nplusonemag nplusonemag.com/issue-54/ess…

Michel and Mom | Leigh Claire La Berge

Mom’s still here. I can call her and talk to her, though not about French medical history. Not about anything, really — we mostly exchange affective states and appreciate the fact of each other’s...

This is fucking nuts. What a model of conduct for authors theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Sally Rooney says she can no longer sell books in UK due to Palestine Action support

Irish writer of Normal People says she can no longer receive royalties from British sales and she cancelled UK trip due to fear of arrest

i can't stand the double standard, democrats and generally progressive people are expected to be perfect all the time, meanwhile republicans can say whatever the fuck they want and their cattle fanbase will eat that slop and defend them endlessly

Some key points from this investigation: -David Flippo's biggest known asset is a company that resembles SEC criteria for a likely "scam" -He appeared to represent its interests at pitch meetings -The company and co-founders spent lavishly on his behalf motherjones.com/politics/202…

David Flippo has close ties to accused fraudster whose company spent lavishly on his behalf

Arizona Land Reserve, which the Nevada Republican listed as one of his biggest assets on his financial disclosure, cut $50,000 checks to conservative groups that endorsed him.

Why are hotels so expensive? A new lawsuit alleges that travel website Expedia is rigging the entire market, exploiting its leverage over 80% of all online bookings to inflate hotel prices in every booking channel by 15-30%. It's an economy-wide price fixing scheme, not unlike what Amazon does to retail. /

The best thing I ever did for my writing career was to join @FSP_NWU and become an organizer. I feel lucky to know a lot of other writers and media people who know me not as some competitor in an MFA program or media personality but through mutual aid.

Thread I have no experience with Bates so can't speak about that. I'd love to hear from others there to get their views. But there are broader issues Tyler raises I'd like to touch on and why he inadvertantly showed how discrimination works against Black people. 1/

This is a story about a college lost down the rabbit hole of performative progressivism. But at its heart, it’s about labor exploitation, the hell we put contingent profs through, and how the collapse of the tenure-system paved the way for cowardice and pseudo-radical groupthink.

Union member (Knights of Labor) from the 19th c had it right: “One great evil of the long hours worked is that the man, woman or child at the end of a day’s work is often physically incapable of doing anything requiring thought, and we cannot wonder if they seek silly amusements"

I think they understood the decline of culture (like the end of reading) better than we do. How are people going to read a book when they are working all the time?

Another lifelong Republican has advice for democrats on how to win, and weirdly what’s in Democrats’ best interest happens to align with her ideological preferences, which is a delightful coincidence.

@BulwarkOnlineJul 23
The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

Many times more expensive to assemble land and build multistory on occupied lots (or even infill) than it is to put up a wood shed on a floodplain but there are hundreds of these morons out there posting like this.

Detroit News obtained a recording of a call between Shawn Fain and Neil Barofsky, the federal monitor, in which Barofsky criticizes UAW's statement calling for a ceasefire and, among other things, tells Fain to read an NYT column by Bret Stephens. detroitnews.com/story/busine…

Phone call audio sheds new light on tension between UAW's Fain, monitor | Exclusive

UAW President Shawn Fain has pointed to the 2023 phone call as evidence that Barofsky has a "political grudge" against him and is abusing his power.
