- Reposted by Russ BurlingameFor a v long time, I conflated "person who can make good art" with "person who has a functioning moral compass." I think that transference (based on appreciation, love, enthusiasm) is something a lot of us do. It hurts a lot when we find that our appreciation was hijacked so someone can do bad shit.

- Reposted by Russ BurlingameNPB, aside from its other issues, is the kind of traditional bipartisan event nobody should attend if he's going to be there. Don't show up and observe the norms as if he's a normal president. Symbolism matters, don't give it to him. Let him speak to a room full of only his own braying jackasses.

- Reposted by Russ BurlingameWe have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

We have no excuse for having succumbed to the degree we already have."

- Reposted by Russ BurlingameI haven't read that massive Substack thing that Gaiman linked to in his whinge, and nor am I going to. If you need tens of thousands of words of rant and innuendo to embed your "shocking evidence" in, you don't have shocking evidence, you have a conspiracy manifesto.
- Reposted by Russ BurlingameI'll just add, as someone who's been doing investigative reporting for decades, all publications doing real journalism (i.e., not a sockpuppet or Some Guy on the Internet)--they have MANY layers of editorial & legal review. Every major investigation I've done has had EVERY WORD checked many times.

- We are now at the point of DHS brazenly and randomly grabbing people so often that they didn’t know who this woman was when reached for comment, and the local news was smart enough to know that identifying her would only make her a target for further harassment and intimidation.
