You don’t need fancy degrees or elite class status to be an intellectual. You do, however, need to seriously engage ideas, knowledge, and research. Today, tragically, serious intellectualism is often carelessly conflated w/ uninformed opinion, misinformation, and disinformation.

I hate how we as a society romanticize "rags to riches" stories. Poverty isn't a story, it's a symptom of a broken system. A system that isn't providing equal opportunities, resources & support for everyone. Romanticizing about those who made it out, ignores those who never will.

The Dr. King uplifted in the mainstream is rarely the later Dr. King. He grew and learned and changed as he aged, as all great thinkers do. The video below is less than a month before he was assassinated. And yet we're shown the younger man. It's worth thinking about why.

Bending the arc of the moral universe towards justice means fighting for a world in which Keenan Anderson is not tased to death by the very officers sworn to protect his life.

Important to add here that California has a victims compensation board, and has already opened up applications to victims of the Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay shootings — they're eligible for up to $70k in assistance from the state. victims.ca.gov/for-victims/vi…

The design of storefronts is critically important for the vitality of cities. When the ground level is welcoming, it activates the street which leads to more people walking around, safer neighborhoods, & more prosperous small businesses. When its neglected, the results are sad.

I've been collecting a list of recently-built places with good urban fabric. Here are some of my favorites: 1. Las Catalinas is a hill town overlooking an ocean cove in Costa Rica, built just over a decade ago with the bones of a classic Mediterranean hill town (Las Catalinas)

I hate how this is framed against TikTok when the bill will give the power to ban ANY application THEY see as a SECURITY THREAT. It’s just censorship repackaged.
