@charlesgaba.com charted this phenomenon in real time as the vaccine rolled out.

Why would he need to “imagine” anything?! Iran’s most likely response, strangling the Strait of Hormuz, was fully understood by everyone even slightly familiar with the region.

Does that mean the secret lover’s surname was Scandalous? Seems like a red flag there.

I don’t really get this critique. The main source of concern I’m hearing is the rise of DSA figures like Mamdani, who is totally fixated on cost of living issues for working class people. Even Plattner, a huge dodged bullet, was all about economic issues.

“Willin’” and ?

Yeah, I think this what you run on. The economy doesn’t work for you because of the blatant corruption of the ruling elite, from Trump to Musk to Clarence Thomas.

The fetishization of the leader’s personal charisma is a defining feature of fascism, so no surprises here.

Yeah, I call bullshit. Every Humanities department I know spends plenty of time defending their disciplines both substantially and in terms of alumni success. Most of that work is internal to the institution, but there is also significant public communication work being done too.

“what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake?” Mark Twain on the violence of the French Revolution vs. the cruelty of the Ancien Regime.

Chi com is a crazy autocorrect there!

UV unwrapping is the hardest part of texturing to really master.

I think they’ve become more emotionally distanced as his career has progressed. The family in The Witch were recognizably real humans.

Or that it’s necessary that those reasons be pure. Institutions doing positive things because they see it as in their best interests is how those sorts of efforts become sustainable.

This is so much Trump’s MO (as seen in his casino bankruptcies, debts, etc.) Mismanage things so badly you dig a hole deep enough that other parties fear falling in with you, so are forced to come to your aid and bail you out.

Looks like a lovely performance. youtu.be/5E73V7JF-dc?...

Maybe the only line in Lovecraft where I actually laughed out loud the first time I read it.

“Shoot Dr. Allen on sight, and dissolve the body in acid. Don’t burn it.”
