I wonder what the ideal way to have a pro-artist ecosystem would be? Meaning a system that genuinely rewards quality and experimentation. I don't think expert/peer review is best because it tends to ossify old things or be subject to fads.

26 years ago today, we got The Simpsons greatest β€œdeeply buried dirty semi-joke” (and many of us didn’t get it until years later). β€œE-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)” premiered November 7, 1999.

As it turns out, people did not understand what mass deportations would look like.

Brain sabotage really stinks, brains gotta stop with the sabotaging. Hope is nice to see out there but I also hesitate to lean into it.

The muscles are definitely getting some targeted exercise. It has only been 1 full week, maybe after another week or two I will notice some improvement.

There’s probably an election today where you live, if you live in the USA. Do the thing.

I had my second meeting with an occupational therapist about my shoulder issues. I have been doing the home workouts.

I heard a crunch underfoot as I stepped out the side door. Somebody had left a packet of chicken flavored ramen on the step.

Slotkin is right that Trump is ready to β€œbring the full weight” of the government against political enemies. But she voted to confirm so many of Trump’s people to do that.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Caine, DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, and more…

Tempted to do so, but I bought the treats already. While I could sit on my stockpile of sugar and enjoy it into next year, might as well offer it to the neighborhood trick or treaters, get it out of my refrigerator.

I could have gotten some of this stuff done if I had started earlier. But the desire to do it didn’t seem to be in me this year.

I don’t want to carve anything. I don’t want to pass out candy. I want to set the bowl on the stoop this year.

I tried to make something fun and stupid to wear for passing out candy to trick-or-treaters but I’m just not able to summon the persistence to see it through.

New York Times headline reads: Trump Moves to Strip More Federal Workers of Union Protections.

But his assertion that diversity weakens unions ignores two things. First, labor unions have a long history of multiethnic coalitions. Second, it was the capitalists and political elites who tried to *exploit* ethnic divisions to maintain power. There is only one person here trying to stop unions:

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧡

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering
