Is Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus in the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul universe? Noticing they’re both set in the fictional town of “Albuquerque.” Something to think about.

This is postmodernism. The building on the bottom is clearly and obviously postmodern. Of course architectural trads will ignore this and conflate modernism and postmodernism as the omnimalevolent Big Bad but the new building is as postmodern as Foucault
Great call by Scots College Sydney replacing its modernist monster of a library with a building in Scottish baronial style. Increasingly around the world, people are defying the modern architecture lobby with traditional designs that most people prefer. https://t.co/hYpV1rASoK

halloween party host tried to point out a guest dressed as nardwuar but didn’t remember the name: “he’s dressed as that weird music interviewer guy” my bf looked right past the guy in the big plaid pompom hat, saw a random bald guy NOT IN A COSTUME and said “oh, anthony fantano”

You know what? There's really nothing wrong with being an adult and wanting to have some Halloween fun earlier in the month. Just kidding. There is.

God. Imagine an alien civilization seeing this. What would they think about what we've become? Their first thought would probably be something along the lines of: "I bet this is a country where so-called adults dress up for Halloween starting in mid-October."

It used to be legal to deny people health insurance for having been the victim of domestic abuse. This was not the 1950s, this was 2009, the year Minecraft came out.
can all the obamacare defenders please chill out. like ok people can stay on their parents healthcare until their mid20s great. and there are fewer gofundmes now. but the way institutionalists talk about the thing it's like we should all be bowing down with gratefulness. yeah, no

Today I ordered @sapinker's new book: 1) unlike his recent touristy stuff on statistics of wars & on the enlightenment, this connects to his specialty (language) & 2) was endorsed by Aumann (a loathsome anti-Palestinian settler-colonialist but greatest expert on game theory).

We can’t let the perfect get in the way of the good—not when millions of Californians are being crushed by housing costs. @GavinNewsom, your signature on SB 79 will move us forward.

They literally got the Supreme Court to overturn a court order blocking them from using race as a factor in deciding who to stop and question!
DHS's Tricia McLaughlin: "It is a disgusting smear to say there is racial profiling going on."

This is simply not true. The top 1% have about 21% of income and pay ~24% of total taxes. The next 4% have ~15% of income and pay ~16% of taxes. The combination of state, local, and federal taxes in America is roughly equivalent in distributional terms to a flat tax.
The rich are the only people in America who are taxed.

Meiselas: Another critical reason MAGA Mike is telling Republicans that the House is officially closed is because he’s trying to avoid swearing in Democratic Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, who won by more than 40 points in a special election about two weeks ago. She would

Politicians in Argentina copycatted DOGE and now its economy is in freefall. If we can't afford to help people with health care and energy bills here at home, why should we be using billions of dollars to bail out Argentina?
