remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

Does the fact the vote only failed in the House because of four Democratic defections change that at all?

Iran Thoughts I woke up this morning and my wife informed me that we were at war with Iran, and my response was “why?” That’s a bad sign.

This is an excellent piece by Michael Wood—and, for what it’s worth, captures as well as anything I’ve read my “strange mixture” of reactions and thoughts.

It is another sign of the administration's incompetence and stupidity that this fight made it out of a SCIF and into broad daylight.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
