This is why diaspora Judaism is the perfect religion
my most reditt-atheist but also not view is that a lapsed or secular [faith] is the ideal theological disposition for a democratic subject. enough relation to religion to provide a metaphysical superstructure and pro-social shame, not enough that you start wanting to burn heretics.
Land value tax would fix this
Okay, let’s frame this differently: how should local governments fund public services, including infrastructure, first responders, teacher pay and public schools, and so forth? If you were in charge of a mid-sized city in Ohio or Michigan and needed to pay for these things, how would you?
This maybe overstates the extent to which the terror was ideological at all. It was first and foremost an extremely bloody counterinsurgency campaign waged and domestic insurrectionaries
Constant's argument was that the Terror was not driven by a desire to protect a liberal parliamentary republic that divides the public and private spheres, but rather to murder France to a place where there was no distinction between spheres, where politics was a constant all encompassing process.
Harry Potter was so popular it (temporarily) reversed the decades long decline in reading
The idea that Harry Potter became popular because of a massive marketing budget is cope. I was there. It was an insane phenomenon. There were kids who had never read a book before bragging that their aunt was traveling to England so she was picking up Book 2 before it made it to America.
95% of the time I don't think there's /that/ much wrong with reading problematic authors, but for JKR every dollar you spend on her funds a genocidal campaign against trans people
Both are, at this point, crazy and evil people, but the thing about J.K Rowling that I find striking is that there is a visibly hedonic quality to her online viciousness that you don't really see in someone like Elon Musk. (Though not for the latter's lack of trying.)
Critical support to the Trump administration for denying rural areas internet access
Amid all the corruption, this is especially gross: the billions Congress/Biden approved to build fiber internet in places left behind has been redirected to Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos for doing nothing. Musk has pocketed $738 million so far. Places like rural Louisiana were screwed.

Last year, after President Trump eliminated my wife's and my jobs, we moved to Germany. South Writ Large invited me to reflect on our move in their Summer 2026 issue, which came out yesterday. southwritlarge.com/articles/so-...
If you're a pitcher for the Washington Nationals you really can't be talking shit to anyone
Here's Cade Cavalli striking out Willson Contreras and screaming "sit down boy!" at him. Really nice and a great week for it. Does Manfred 1) do the obvious thing or 2) do nothing because he doesn't want a Turning Point spokesman to do a viral tweet about how he won't watch baseball anymore
If @janeese4dc.bsky.social gets elected maybe the Nats will have a winning season
seattle elected a socialist mayor and immediately won the super bowl
