I worked for Harvey Weinstein. From experience terror is more complicated than you think. There’s an excitement that comes when you’re on the wrong side. You know it, you want out, but it’s also a rush that makes you look away from your core. When it ends it happens fast. The hangover is intense.

The thing about fury is it freaks out people who simply chose not to believe. They make their complicity very personal. They’re told they should. Maybe yes, maybe no. But the backlash brings perspective and resilience. The next steps are hard. They involve relearning. But we gave away everything.

We’re faced with deeply invasive and privately controlled AI, indebted governments, fascist algorithms, unaffordable housing and decreasing opportunities for young people. This is the best time to surge investments in public higher ed. Both finance existing schools and build many new ones.

To say the obvious - it is so much cheaper than war and tax breaks. You believe in capitalism? Then you believe in competition. The reason schools are expensive include a lack of supply. We need to encourage risk for higher rewards.

We’re faced with deeply invasive and privately controlled AI, indebted governments, fascist algorithms, unaffordable housing and decreasing opportunities for young people. This is the best time to surge investments in public higher ed. Both finance existing schools and build many new ones.

One of the main reasons we are facing the hellscape of now is that we have defunded opportunity. Wouldn’t you turn away from promised personal debt without any promised returns? With immorality and simple failure brought by AI we see the need for a deep, insightful liberal arts ed more than ever.

All through college (graduated Surfer Rosa year) this poster travelled with me. The movie, not so much. But now, the quiet beauty among all the beauty, the perfect music…Antonioni was decades in front of us. If nothing else, if you love LA it’s just straight uncut joy.

This is my new favorite take on movies and now I cannot proceed with my job.

Every Democrat running for national office must commit to this. Make em defend this. And then make them defend it again at the Supreme Court. The point of pardon power has completely been lost. Time for it to go.

Donald Trump has spent the entirety of 2026 doing everything possible to subvert the elections. He has conducted a war with neither approval nor transparency. He has continued illegal tariffs. He has killed 300 fishermen. He has threatened Canada, Greenland, Ukraine and Cuba. Still 2 months to go.

It's brazenly corrupt to pretend to be the arbiter of peace between RU and UKR while in fact getting into private business with one side and your family members. Also every oligarch pays Putin a significant cut at all times. Trump can't stop being mad at Ukraine bombing refineries. Go figure.

What are you prepared to do between the second week of November and January 3, 2027? Because each one of those days are almost certain to be a test of our care for the Constitutional order. Each hour will be fraught with national threat. Each one will demand resolve. This is not a passive group.

This man will say anything for power. None of us have the imagination to know the depths he will go should he think any of his pathways could be blocked by an opposition. bsky.app/profile/ab21...

Remember a time when everyday wasn't decidedly more ugly than the last? When politicians didn't attack survivors of sexual abuse? When you didn't wake up wondering "OK what now"? When golf courses didn't lose trees, allies supported us and you enjoyed the next Succession and the dog park in peace?

In any other time throughout millennia, these most petty of things would be stopped. The shame and social penalties would be the line. But today it's just called Thursday bsky.app/profile/gold...
