How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

This remains my favorite Twilight Zone ep. Oddly enough helped me process the loss of a relative when I was a kid. I had “what you thought would go out like an explosion is like a whisper" written on my bedroom wall for a long time. I hope this ep still helps people process.

Imagine each actor reading that sentence. A wild ride.

A Conversation with Theodor W. Adorno (Spiegel, 1969) SPIEGEL: Professor Adorno, two weeks ago, the world still seemed in order. . . ADORNO: Not to me.

just saying again that the specifics of how/why this strategy worked are worthy of study from people trying similar campaigns. read about it in @hammerandhope.bsky.social (link below)

‘Rebel Ridge’, maybe?

Oh hell yeah, it's Labor Day Weekend so we're posting the ILWGU song. Look at that 80s style and hair! ICONIC.

The day my husband let me talk AT him about grunion runs and Over-the-Line is when I knew.*

*A lie but now I’m in this too lfg

Guess I’ll plan sabotage and subterfuge without my Hobonichi Techo in ‘26.

Just had a deep pang of grief, feeling the absence of the Bodega Boys take on Winnie Greco’s sour cream and onion bribery bag

I’ll tell you this. A favorite campus dining spot closed last semester, with almost no notice. It’s been replaced by a fully automated kiosk. The kids are pissed. Asking all the right questions about labor and human contact and sociality.

Some of the kids are alright.

Still there, still dope and still hilarious off the mic.

I know the NBC execs were!

Anytime anyone stunts on Frasier I’m just so happy. It’s why Cam Winston eps are perfect.

Cheers and altar lord help me

The Cheer’s waitress who left Frasier at the alter and shows up in an episode MADE for haters (I’m a hater).

Exactly. And the higher-than-expected percentage that are deaths by suicide.

At least ‘News Radio’ knew to keep Joe Rogan off the mic.

That’s a load-bearing ‘Clueless’ watch.

The stories and outfits alone. But then you also get a lesson on the 16ths in Michael McDonald’s “I Keep Forgetting”. Gold.

Highly recommend the ep of The Roundtable with Toto’s Steve Porcaro and David Paich (they talk ‘Human Nature’, Cheryl Lynn, Don Henley, Prince and more).

NB: This can lead to watching 80s Star Licks tutorials and developing Joe, Steve and Jeff Porcaro impersonations that please no one.

Also my high school!

Side effects include washed-out visuals, drowsiness, looking confused in local business.

Two striking DC33 workers, one of whom is pregnant, were the victims of a hit-and-run last week when a drunk driver drove into their picket line.
