Guys, you're still trying to replace "I who have never known men." Now, what we might be able to do is re-create it. Re-create it in the aggregat
randomly, it's interesting to see how Solnit, in 2000's Hollow City, doesn't have the word "tech" as an available category for talking about the industry; it's "multimedia/internet businesses"
A random fact: Adam Gray, one of the six democrats who voted for the NDAA "fusing" parts of the us military and IDF, represents this geography, the central valley, AKA "the people breaking their bodies growing your food can't vote and lack decent healthcare"-istan
one of the most reliable media grifts is just to constantly assert that the *effects* of reactionary propaganda (which are sort of real) are the result of that propaganda being true, such that it's always the responsibility of people being lied about to change their behavior and be more reactionary
Not to be the wokest and most conspiratorial minded person the world has ever seen, but there is something about how the results of the CDC's "corporations can do whatever the fuck they want" policies have gotten turned into "someone from Mexico is shitting in your food"
Buckley wrote "God and Man at Yale" in 1951. "Why aren't the people who've ben attacked in a decades-long bad faith rightwing campaign to destroy universities leaping to assume that actually THEY are the ones at fault?" says one of The Atlantic's most useful idiots.
People sometimes want to point at the rise of the solar industry as a demonstration that we've solved climate change and can relax. Meanwhile, total global carbon emissions rise, every year, because the more energy we produce, and the cheaper it gets, the more new uses the economy finds for it.
There's always some completely unpredictable "meanwhile, Trump" aside in stories like this. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
you libs are just mad that Trump's big beautiful heart overflows with love for this kind of person
Apparently anti-chicken propaganda has created a broad sentiment in the West Bay that tasty eggs are a function of pain and suffering
This is who Scott Wiener has consistently been for years. But sure, say "genocide" once (after getting tons of shit for pointedly NOT saying it) and suddenly its BAFFLING why anyone has any criticisms
counterpoint: it is, in fact, a huge "sacrifice of our guiding principles" to jettison the "of the world" part of "workers of the world"
And if you look at the video of him getting heckled out of SF's trans march and are like "wow, lefties are out of control," well, for one thing, politicians getting heckled is sort of what happens at that march (it's not even Wiener's first time!) bc those comrades have memories and pay attention
wow, yeah, sure sounds like these people are apolitical conspiracists! imagine thinking a data center might give you cancer
I wrote thousands of words about how the anti-Measure E thing is tax revolt redux and he just.... tweeted it out www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/tax-revolt-m...
eating slices of corn off the cob wrapped in a sandwich of jalopeño-flavored kettle chips, for breakfast. there is nothing you can tell me or teach me, because I have already ascended.
It's nice to see a national take on this race that at least understands the problem with the dude jacobin.com/2026/06/sf-c...
