this & the entirety of the newscaster scene was Spielberg reckoning with his liberal zionism in the face of a live-streamed genocide
No one mentioning how the first thing Jane asks upon first seeing the images of the extraterrestrials in Disclosure Day, before even asking if they’re human, is if they’re children.

St Tammany and not Orleans Parish having this mix speaks volumes on the story of the political journey of 2nd and 3rd gen Italian/Irish immigrants
Here are all the counties that are >10% Irish and >10% Italian. Most of these counties are in New England and the mid-Atlantic states.

BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California. The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond. The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within. Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months. Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.

They should make a map so precise that it becomes the same exact size as the geography that it’s representing and then in fact later on comes to replace the geography itself.
this map literally does not correspond to geographic reality and the only reason they made it is to cater to stupid people with sub-80 spatial IQ who don’t even pay for the subway

The most influential postmodernist bar none was Richard Nixon, who by ending the gold standard untethered the signifier from the signified.

Me describing selection bias to my 5yo when he tells me that he doesn't need his carseat because older kids he knows don't use them
Reminds me of when I asked my dad why he didn’t have any smoke detectors in his house despite decades as a firefighter and he said “house fires are actually very rare, I’ve just seen a lot because they’d call me to them, so being afraid of that would be selection bias.” He’s 1/2

We literally did the exact opposite. The United Staes government pours *massive* quantities of money into keeping dying rural parts of the country alive. Americans are immobile because we emphatically *refuse* to let places just die.
One of the biggest mistakes of my kind of neoliberalism at the end of the 20th century was "Help People, Not Places"--on the theory that people would always move to the places where the jobs were. They didn't.

New Orleans has already been the canary in the coal mine wrt the climate crisis & insurance rates. It adding — within two weeks — mass disenfranchisement, total abortion inaccessibility, & overturning elections (x2) is…not great. The Louisiana Purchase was a mistake.
🚨I am demanding the immediate rescission of the New Orleans Clerk’s resolutions, or these officials could face potential forfeiture of their offices. I specifically asked the New Orleans City Council to wait for the Louisiana Supreme Court to weigh in. Instead, they knowingly refused and moved forward with resolutions that attempt to displace Chelsey Richard Napoleon from her lawful office as Clerk of Court for Orleans Parish. There is no vacancy, and no public official should recognize this fictional office or Judge Calvin Johnson’s purported appointment to it. Louisiana’s usurper laws carry serious consequences, and I will enforce them. ag.state.la.us/Article/517

I’ve been saying for over a decade that when we reshore jobs they’ll earn a Chinese middle class salary and not be the American post-war labor union wage updated for inflation. I just didn’t think it’d happen so quickly.

The question that doesn’t get asked enough in Louisiana politics of anyone holding or running for elected office and is over the age of 53 is, did you vote in the 1991 gubernatorial election, and if so, did you vote for David Duke

The Purpose Of A System Is What It Does
This is why "The West Wing" the Obama "they go low, we go high" are both so damaging. Ostensibly intelligent people are so blinded by their story of How America Works that they're unable to see how it's *actually* working.

To be clear, the Confederacy was defeated through violence. Combined with more than a decade of legally prohibiting anyone involved in that godforsaken regime from ever being able to participate in the political process. And even *that* was insufficient to put those bastards down for good. That’s a historical fact.

Imagine not knowing about the Rolling Thunder Revue
Imagine if in the 1970s people were going around doing ragtime vaudeville stuff from the 1920s and acting like this was the most vital, urgent counterculture around. That is what people look like talking about punk nowadays lol.

Pipe down, David Berkowitz
You are not the people. You are stupid slaves on the Epstein's menu of cruel cannibal elites. You are eaten, your brains are. It is why you watch Euphoria. Because all of you are perverts. Disgusting civilization. No reason to exist. Please, die.

the spread of yemeni coffeehouses is basically the only good thing happening in this country
“Yemeni coffeehouses are opening at a rapid pace across the U.S. The number of cafes run by six major chains that serve Yemeni-style drinks grew 50% last year to 136.” apnews.com/article/yemen-cof…

A beekeeper in Massachusetts has been arrested after unleashing an entire swarm of bees on police officers who were trying to evict an elderly cancer patient from his home. Over 1000 bees died in the struggle, and one officer had to be hospitalized for bee-related injuries.
