At a talk featuring people working for years to free Mumia Abu-Jamal, speaker said that in a convo with Abu-Jamal about how supporters said his death sentence being vacated wasn't a victory since he was still incarcerated, Abu-Jamal disagreed. Made me think about how we understand wins and struggle.

RIP Greg Bovino

Lot of people meme-ing Ann Nocenti/Mark Bagley Captain America upset by America’s foreign policy, not enough people meme-ing Steve Englehart/Sal BuscemaCaptain America catches Richard Nixon who commits suicide to avoid punishment.

RIP Sal Buscema, he drew quietly but with potent imaginative thrills for anyone able to cobble together 50 cents. Strange ideas drawn on cheap paper, sent around the country in large numbers...

“there's now a strong sense across the newsroom that neither Jeff Bezos nor Will Lewis are serious, good-faith stewards of The Washington Post."—-it’s taken them this long to figure that out?

screenshot of a post by The Atlantic ‪@theatlantic.com‬ that reads: "International law no longer serves as an instrument of global stability—and the U.S. should use this moment to argue for a different approach to the rules of war, John Yoo argues." linking to a post whose link generates a headline and subhead of: "A New International Law Can Rise From the Ashes The United States should use this moment to argue for a different approach to the rules of war." the actual headline of the piece on the site: "International Law Is Holding Democracies Back".

screenshot of a post by The Atlantic‬ ‪@theatlantic.com‬ that reads: "“At times, Minneapolis reminded me of what I saw during the Arab Spring in 2011, a series of street clashes between protesters and police that quickly swelled into a much larger struggle against autocracy,” Robert F. Worth reports." and links to an article whose link generates the headline and subhead: "The Minneapolis Uprising A series of street-level clashes have snowballed into a larger fight against autocracy." the headline on the site reads: "Welcome to the American Winter".

it appears the official editorial stance of the atlantic magazine really is "authoritarian unilateral action without care for the consequences *is* what the rest of the world should shut up and take, but by god, don't you dare treat *us* like those freaky foreigners"! how liberal-minded of them.

The amazing‘this is my grandad, he didn‘t have a copy of the one 45 he recorded’ stories are always great.

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

the atlantic has been like this for a long time but man, it really blows that the flagship publication for american liberalism has abandoned *liberalism* wholesale because of trans athletes and woke student governments

I've just been added as the replacement professor for an environmental humanities class that starts in a week so if you have a favorite environmentally themed novel by a nonwhite author I'm all ears (already doing Chingiz Aitmatov). Maybe I'll do an Ngugi wa Thiongo...

Something @pkrugman.bsky.social said years ago about the 2nd Iraq war has stuck with me: to be considered a serious thinker by the mainstream, even in retrospect, you had to have been completely wrong about Iraq for a few years, then have changed your mind. I suspect we’ll see a lot of this.

As someone who’s spent nearly 2 decades in the content mines: they’re doing these stories critical of the regime because people are clicking on them
