In a Kakistocracy, the incompetence is weaponized for the benefit of the regime. Norms cannot be met, chaos rules. The least qualified and most corrupt run the show. There is no interest in justice and legitimate governance.

Why Apple’s move to video could endanger podcasting's greatest power - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Apple's got a lot of announcements this week, but one huge risk might get overshadowed amidst the noise — the way they're adding support for video podcasts threatens to enshittify the last truly open online media. It's not too late to push them to keep it open. www.anildash.com/2026/02/28/a...

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Platner has incredibly bad judgment, but my primary reason for vocally opposing him is that a guy who used to have an SS tattoo and goes on alt-right podcasts is the absolute worst messenger for opposition to Israel possible. We deserve better than the guy our opponents say we are in bad faith.

Pat Tillman's military picture.

A football star left a career and money on the table to serve his country. He immediately found out the war was total bullshit, and after he started making a ruckus about it a US soldier shot him in the back of the head 'by mistake'.

That was no mistake.

This is worth mentioning to your friends who traded their ChatGPT for Claude subscriptions - Claude helped kill all of those little girls at school in Iran. Anthropic isn’t ethical AI.

You know who else did medical experiments on prisoners?

"These are regimes whose fear of unmonitored writing is justified because truth is trouble. It is trouble for the warmonger, the torturer, the corporate thief, the political hack, the corrupt justice system, and for a comatose public."

I have been reading The Source of Self Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations by Toni Morrison.

These two short essays are in the book. I think they are a must read.

I’m reading “Stad O” by Koen Caris and it’s absolutely excellent. I really hope it gets translated into English because you should all read it! (Much more enjoyable than Dune Messiah which I finished last week.)

Alex Pretti should have been 38 years old today.

The scandal that engulfed the last Brontë sister's death — National Geographic When Charlotte Brontë died—the last of her massively talented family to succumb to an early death—the press entered a feeding frenzy. A friend and equally famous writer aimed to set the record straigh...

Omg I don’t know how I forgot that Elizabeth Gaskell went on a tear for 2years gathering evidence and trying to be a whistleblower about the abuse that the Brontës suffered, after Charlotte Brontë’s death

such wild story and should be more known, esp. since she also suffered consequences

They banned abortion in half the US and the numbers slightly rose anyways. You're not going to stop access to transitioning.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

New Dolores Umbridge just dropped

This is pure evil.

What's fucked is the real working class in the USA speaks Spanish or Punjabi and most Americans pretend they don't exist.

Labour is trying to create a permanent underclass who can be treated like dirt and live in permanent bureaucratic limbo.

As Tony Benn said. The way they treat people like this is the way they would treat all of us if they could get away with it.
