This is a necessary read. Sarah saw this all coming literally a decade ago and no one wanted to listen.

Maternal grandfather was a high-school principal. Paternal grandfather was an artist and musician; during WW2 he worked as a cartographer for the US Navy (engraving and printmaking). His first love was opera, but he did not sing professionally.

Because you can't contribute to a literature if you don't know the literature.

Bezos doesn't want expertise. He wants propagandists and confusion, because that's what the Trump regime and Israel want. Therefore he fires the experts.

Bhattacharya urges measles vaccination as US activity increases

After remaining silent for almost a year about the U.S. measles outbreak, NIH/CDC poseur Jay Bhattacharya is now recommending measles vaccines.

And this is where he gets to see the impact of the destruction of trust in public health and vaccines, for which he is partially responsible.

Trump on school shootings:
We have to get over it.

That’s the way it is.

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

Percy Shelley’s journal: last night I awoke to a creature watching me through my bedroom window with a face white as chalk

Mary Shelley’s journal: read four books today. Learning three languages while discussing astronomy and mathematics. Also Percy tried to chase his creature again.

ZOA honors Biden in 1984; newspaper clipping

ZOA honors Biden in 1984; newspaper clipping

Which nation is the question? In the early 1980s, Israeli officials had to tell Biden to chill because his desire to mass murder children was too extreme even for them. Biden described himself as a Zionist foremost, and for decades, the US was not the country he prioritized.

Painful to read this and think about the 2021 coup attempt, which was as blatant as it gets. An utter failure of US elites to seize the moment when everybody saw the threat right in front of their eyes.

If we have history books in the future, they will be unkind.

A judge in AL, Trump appointee Corey Maze, becomes the latest of 33 judges to side with ICE's mandatory detention policy.

He says a man in the US for 27 years, with 6 U.S. citizen kids, has no more due process right than someone who just crossed the border. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The U.S. Press Loves To Pretend Widespread Corruption Doesn't Exist Despite widespread U.S. corruption being anything but subtle, its presence consistently remains absent from corporate media narratives surrounding most U.S. dysfunction.

The latest edition of my newsletter is about a subject I've been obsessed with since I was a snot-nosed 20-something telecom beat reporter:

The U.S. press simply refuses to acknowledge that widespread corruption at the hands of unchecked corporate power is THE reason for most U.S. dysfunction.

I have never been so upset about teaching, and I LOVE teaching. I am angry and upset, and burnt out, and our institutions do not help with their uncritical embrace of generative AI

My kid currently at NYU says about half of their profs are already doing this. Blue books, in class oral assessments, no papers.

Federal agents with ICE detained a 16-year-old asylum-seeker in Minnesota and quietly transferred him out of state.
The teen was sent to a Michigan facility run by Bethany Christian Services, a federally contracted child services organization with financial ties to the DeVos family.

Very true. We live in different times. The goal is disinformation, not a unified messageβ€”AI excels at disinformation. Corporate mafia doesn’t need propaganda but to make it difficult, if not impossible, to find out what is happening and to remove access to/archival knowledge.

It is like kitschy pictures of the president with Jesus or ripping down the White House without a plan. For all we know, they are also selling the art collection in the WH to private collectors.

I was thinking about this last night after I watched a Riefenstahl documentary. I don’t think they have anyone because this is not really totalitarianism; there is not a unified ideology. They are selling the US for parts, so what art is there for that? Also, this government does not value the arts.
