If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.

Next time someone tries to tell you that Roman slavery was different or better than other forms of slavery, tell them to listen to last week’s episode of @thisguysucked.com and/or buy Emma’s book.
i support [$democratic_candidate] for [$public_office] and believe that their politics is a perfect fit for [$state]. I would drag my [$genital] over [$harmful_object_or_substance] to vote for [$democratic_candidate] this fall.

If you like podcasts and like survival stories, What To Carry And What To Burn by @blairbraverman.bsky.social is really excellent. I've listened to 4 episodes today while driving and can't wait to listen to more.
Periodic reminder that there is no such thing as a fiscal conservative. Because how comfortable or uncomfortable they are with a subsidy depends entirely on who gets the money. Texas receives $33 billion a year in oil subsidies. No fiscal conservative complains about that.

Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.

Toad sipped his tea. “Frog,” he asked, “are you making this up?” “Maybe yes and maybe no,” said Frog.

We need years of brainwashing Elena Kagan to believe this is fine and good or it’s going to fail.
WIFE: (MFA from RISD) I thought a lot of her points were astute, even if her obvious bias for classics made a poor replacement for film criticism specifically, you know? ME: (just found out only yesterday that flies aren't food) I don't feel good. I can still feel some of them moving inside of me.
7. The film centers Odysseus's guilt over his war crimes, but never shows us the POV of his victims, and instead glorifies the perpetrator for feeling bad about himself. I found this unsatisfying ethically and worse, imaginatively, because Damon's character is given only one mood (Troubled).

The reason NYC's consolidation of surrounding jurisdictions into one big city government was never copied was because *it worked* and the wealthy realized that municipal fragmentation served their interests much better bsky.app/profile/ones...
#1 Shoup Fan@oneshoup.bsky.social · last wk.It’s interesting that this was basically never copied even though it was part of a wave of progressive reforms in the 19th century. I guess no city was large enough before the wave of changes that made places want to split and not consolidate in the 20th century

True. If you lined up in order of expertise on the Homeric tradition every person alive, Emily Wilson has to be in the top 3 or so.
A Quaint Duck@serisothikos.bsky.social · last wk.the thing that annoys me is when people blithely dismiss the critique from someone who could not possibly be more of an expert on the text, and not just its content but also its structure and tone and origins and evolutions. as if liking something means they can't acknowledge imperfections
I also think it's very funny (but not haha funny) that the collective wisdom of "just focus on pocketbook issues!" only ever flows one way. It's never, "shut the fuck up with your insane fantasies about evil trans people and talk about afordability, conservatives!"

The Dodgers giving Donald Trump - a man who is withholding healthcare & fire relief funds from their state - a World Series ring is the single most disheartening & disgusting sports news I have ever heard. Shame on the owners & on every player & coach who went to kiss the ring.
This is so important. We all need to get on this level!
Ossoff: "Each day his allies are fewer & even they no longer deny his corruption, the obscene self-dealing while he plunges nation deeper into reckless war while he rakes in billions & builds himself ballroom & prepares again to attack elections.

The Dodgers who went to the White House should receive every bit as much judgment and condemnation as the Giants pitchers who Sharpied the Pride hats. ICE spent their World Series-winning season terrorizing their city. Fuck them for doing photo ops with fascists instead of standing with their fans.
