The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

Five years ago, I left a partnership at a large, prestigious law firm because I wanted to more fully engage in representing clients in the political process at this unique moment in history. newsletters.democracydocket.com/paul-weiss-f...

The president of the United States is a mentally deranged con man and a pathological liar.
I think it's not hyperbole to say that every election from now on will be existential until every Republican involved with this administration is in jail.
Only the wholesale removal of the Republican Party in its entirety will suffice at this point.
What a SHEER DELIGHT to feature the golden-voiced Timothy Adès on #TranslatorsAloud again. Don't miss it!

Texas: Sure, we’d vote for Satan— we have many times. We’re ignorant, bigoted, and fiercely self-destructive, but we make up for it by being the most corrupt state in the country.
I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

As they say at the awards shows, I was humbled to learn that Christopher Nolan has read at least the first line of my...

Kansas court rejects last-minute GOP bid to toss late-arriving mail ballots

I’m gonna say it again. Everything white people in the US are violently angry about is either 1. completely made up or 2. and issue they created by voting for bigots who agree with them about made up shit to get political power. That’s it.

Of course translators are shaping readers' experiences... that's inevitable; in fact, it's kind of what we do! This article is nonetheless interesting. #xl8 #literarytranslation 🌐 💙📚 www.thebookseller.com/news/its-not...

I see 216 traitors (that voted for this "merger") who should be charged with sedition and treason.
The President of the United States is a traitor.
