A scene from Inglourious Basterds where a British man undercover as a Nazi officer gives himiself away by holding up the wrong three fingers (his pointer, middle, and ring fingers) to indicate 3 instead of the German custom (thumb, pointer, and middle).

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

Your story is such a perfect example of taking the entirety of that kid's actions - evidence for what he was trying to do vs. a cold, self-serving read of what happened - and building real social trust on top of that practical trust. Interactions w/o that are inhuman, degrading, and everywhere now.

And that is just so incredibly *lost* in everyday life. And people blame social media and misinformation, but it began when efficiency demanded pre-printed forms that everyone must be fit into. Only made worse by automated systems for which the checkboxes *are* reality. So there's no trust.

There's a notion in my research discipline that "trust", on a practical level, is that we're each trying to understand. That my actions have meaning/purpose bc you're going to try and figure them out. So I should be effortful in my expression bc you will be effortful in your receipt. And vice-versa.

The US Men's team is like that because ice hockey is a sport with some of the highest equipment/arena costs. So the American game is absolutely tied to the private school system. US hockey players at that level are basically wall street bankers with the concussion history of a heavyweight boxer.

Cyrus from the film Wake Up Dead Man (2025), a failed republican political candidate who is desperately trying to become a right-wing influencer by recording everything.  In the film he spends several minutes reciting a list of all the wedge issues he tried bringing up to appeal to voters, but "none of it stuck". In the image he is holding his streaming rig taht holds his iPhone and a microphone.

"Most academics spend their careers inside the ivory tower – a world set apart from everyday commerce and politics"
It's funny how this piece actually describes the people who will turn any job into this, claiming their work's "unique difficulty" as not leaving time for justice or responsibility.

The thing about Olympic hockey overtime is I have no horse in this race and still feel like I've lost 12 hours off my life expectancy.

Will it cost USA women's hockey that they cast Wyatt Russell to play their head coach instead of getting an actual head coach? We'll find out in the next 5 minutes.
