I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

Sometimes, when the weight of things gets to be too much, when I don’t feel like I can go on, I like to close my eyes, take a grounding breath, and think about all those Cybertruck owners who paid all that money to spend every day getting laughed at and flipped off and spit on.

Good @mattpolprof.bsky.social look at anti-intellectualism of the right up through MAGA: "We see this today in how DeSantis, Trump, and the MAGA intelligentsia obstruct ordinary people from thinking about the colonialism and slavery of the American founding." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-right-wa...

This is why Russ Vought defunded USAID, attacked NEA and NIH, caused CPB to commit suicide, is defund the Dep’t of Eduction, is trying to kill the CFPB, has attacked NIH and NSF, tried to kill the IMLS, closed the Kennedy Center and just yesterday took over the Presidio to turn it back to a prison.

Replying to @volts.wtf

Again and again, I return to the same thought about authoritarianism, fascism, reactionary thinking, whatever you want to call it: it is not an alternative analysis or an alternative set of values. It is permission to wallow in brainstem-level feelings. It is permission to ignore the frontal cortex.

Here's something that's bothered me for years: why are scrambled eggs so much easier to eat? I feel like I could eat 8 scrambled eggs without even thinking. Eight fried eggs feels like a lot. Eight boiled eggs? Absurd

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
