I read a lot. Goal in life: to be a brain in a jar. Not quite there yet.

as a constant-yet-fluctuating disaster, which for most people mostly happens in the news, but if you work in a related field it's changed everything, and at any time the effects can randomly devastate someone you know or somewhere you live,

this presidential administration is weirdly like COVID

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but only Markwayne Mullin can pick his friends’ noses.

Trump us a family annihilator capable of tearing the whole globe down with him. It is the total fantasy of patriarchal defeatism. At the end of your life get all your property buried alive beside you

Two people walking down Seattle's Denny Way on Monday afternoon. High of 57Β°. One with long brown hair and rainbow wings, the other with blond hair, a shoulder bag, and sneakers--otherwise nude as the news.

PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--"

PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" 

PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"

Center for Christian Virtue is the new White Hat Management, just as Jesus intended Unlike the notorious Charter School operator, though, CCV's operation is far, far less transparent.

Be sure to kick him in the nuts over abolishing the state estate tax, too. Those so-called "death taxes" were an important stream of revenue for local government and his actions have directly led to the current property tax fiasco.

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
