Farmer Reacts: Bloomberg Wants To Ban Farm Subsidies YouTube video by Farm to Taber

US media outlets are FINALLY having the "Do we actually need to do farm subsidies?" talk and I am extremely here for it.

(yep it's clickbait thumbnail for the YT crowd, but dw it's a very nerd-centric video)

maybe it's just simple contrarianism as a way of defining the self in opposition to something popular or hyped? this is much more common online because we're set up to engage in a binary framework. love/hate, left/right, etc.

a woman in a yellow dress is talking into a microphone . Alt: Cate blanchett saying "drama" into a microphone.

I asked her why and she responded 'idk, she's arrogant.'

my earliest memory of this is me professing my admiration for Cate Blanchett as an actress and my best friend at the time went 'omg, I hate her.'

It's kinda wild how the US Dept of Labor fully understands farmers are business owners & management. (That's how farmers are classed in labor stats.)

But somehow, "Farmers own a business & property, that means we're mgmt!" is still total news to lots of the folks who Care A Lot About Labor. 🤷‍♀️

The job title "farmer" has always been intentionally slippery in how most Americans use it.

But in the occupational stats, it's people who own the farm. (They may own all the land, rent some, or event rent all of it, but the farm is still their business that they own & operate.)

Friday essay: long in the shadow of Freud, Carl Jung’s ideas are finding fresh relevance today An early figure in the psychoanalytic movement, Jung is often written off. But his ideas of the collective unconscious and emphasis on archetype and myth resonate.

Chuffed to see my new book, Jung and Star Wars: A Contemporary Mythology, mentioned in this great essay by Professor Nick Haslam about how Jung's ideas are as relevant as ever. Thanks to the great Gary Bobroff of Jung Archademy for sending it to me!

Happy International Women's Day to the Brendok ladies in particular 🩷✨🌙

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

the constant infantilisation is so grating.

Read @MullenderRob's essay on the remarkable experiments — turning sound into image — undertaken by Welsh singer Margaret Watts-Hughes in the late 19th century. publicdomainreview.org/essay/p... #internationalwomensday #iwd2023 #happywomensday2023

i've been seeing the r word a lot more frequently lately even by people on the left and personally i think we should leave that one in the past

It's from the 'Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy' book ❤️

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜

David Dastmalchian makes for a gloriously emo/petulant Kylo Ren in the All-Star Live Reading of The Force Awakens. And I'm choosing to take this interpretation of the interrogation scene as a win for the Reylos.

The Oligarchical Corridor A Source of War

If we examine the origins of the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

home race curse strikes again

women can't go a full week without being accused of perpetuating "the rise of self-insert in literature". PACK THIS SHIT UP POST-HASTE.

Something I really love about Rey in the Sequel Trilogy is that, having grown up on Jakku, she's always getting a kick out of and appreciating the beauty of the different planets, biomes, and cultures she encounters during her travels.

Don't let KOSA and web rights fade into the background! Keep badgering your reps in the coming weeks! If the people we chose to represent us don't want to represent us then we can at least annoy the hell out of them! show just how unpopular this really is! call your reps!

🧵 OPPOSE THE KIDS ACT!!

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

KOSA is the newest bill set to hurt the online landscape.

But what does it mean for you?

also, I had to do a lot of searching to find the user manual for the Tefal model I'm eyeing and I only found it on Moulinex Netherlands of all places.

been digging deeper into airfryers and I just learned Moulinex and Tefal are both owned by Groupe SEB, which is why they have models that look exactly alike. this greatly expands the review pool I can look over and that's me satisfied for today.
