paradox games—in how they represent “expansion” and elide on the unpleasant and unsatisfying details of what that entails—are perfect vehicles for representing nationalist fantasies in a way that seems “serious” and professional.

Italy is going after Amazon for €1.2B in tax dodging. ✅
Meanwhile in Canada: grocery cartels fix prices, oil giants rake in billions, and telecom monopolies gouge us with Ottawa’s blessing. If Italy can crack down on corporate crime, we can too. 🇨🇦

Captain America being black isn't the issue. Ariel being black wasn't the issue. You don't want mainstream black representation. You think "your" characters are being sullied by their inferior skin color. Say the quiet part out loud. Stop using "woke" or "DEI" in place of the slurs you want to say.

"History has shown that assaults on trade unions are a hallmark of authoritarian rule. From Hitler’s Germany to Mussolini’s Italy and Franco’s Spain, the suppression of labor rights has always been a precursor to greater state control and the erosion of democracy."

Good morning, I didn’t get to sleep until nearly 1am and I slept fitfully but I feel surprisingly OK. Just off for a hotel breakfast, for some reason I’m super hungry. A chilled day today, involving book buying and wandering until dinner time. What are your plans?

Having been/being the exact age of the characters, Yellowjackets is one of my favorite shows right now but my one serious criticism is some of the language in the 90s scenes is wildly anachronistic. It rips me right out of immersion every time a character says something like “for the win” in 1997.

“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen” Lenin’s quote feeling more and more apposite at the moment.

Although appropriately enough, it seems that Lenin never said it.

If they think the world falling apart will make me less insufferable about science communication, I regret to inform them that it will only make me *more* deranged and indefatigable, so. Eat shit to the administration, etc.

You'd think if your job was reading books, an audiobook narrator, you'd have a good grasp of English pronunciation. Not necessarily, it turns out. Rather distracting. Refit (ruh-feet), ship's bow (bow-tie not bow-wow), megacity (meh-GAcity, like sagacity), chasm (ch not k) and others. Basic. 🪐📚
