This statement from Emory University protestors is incredible.

Great interview about a fantastic book! Check this out:

$100 billion war and censorship package passed in the senate with 79 votes. 48 of the 79 were democrats. There’s no voting our way out of this.

‘How good can his gull impression really be?’ I thought to myself. Then he changed my world entirely

Seeing way too much “college kids are out of control” and not enough “they’ve uncovered multiple civilian mass graves in Palestine”

good sign for my mental health that I read the Voyager 1 news and thought 'jealous'

Nothing beats reading a book and feeling like you are living inside the story, but god it feels so strange when it ends. It's the strangest grief.
What do you do with this love you grew for these people? They who are stuck in being immortalized on paper but bear no true life?

I love Sarah Miller's writing always, and goddamn this was good to read today (this is just the warm up, this is Sarah clearing her throat and doing scales before the main theme) therealsarahmiller.substack.com/p/the-grown-up…

We are witnessing a mass psychosis in the media and academia we haven’t seen since the early 2000s based now, like then, on the idea that Muslims lives are worthless. It’s a horror. We should all be horrified.

CRB does DeLillo 🚨🚨🚨

We used to be a society (that produced cool book covers)

Vale Daniel Dennett, who thought and wrote about the mind with unsurpassed clarity and rigour.

Ah dang, RIP Daniel Dennett. A clear and inspiring thinker who shaped what I think philosophy to be. His work on free will and the mind is immensely accessible and honest, and materially changed how I approach my life. Highly recommend his books.

holy shit Taylor Swift recorded a cover of “Where Have All The Rude Boys Gone” by Ted Leo??? i never saw it coming but what a great song, great choice Taylor

Making students homeless and without healthcare the same day, destroying their belongings, banning them from campus, having them arrested for trespassing—this institution has far too much power to do harm to the students for whose safety it’s responsible.

an extremely veteran legal observer I used to run into at protests in Chicago told me once, basically 'right now this is a walk, and speech, and that's good. But when this many people realize how hard they are to stop, physically, stuff can really happen.'

“You can’t arrest us all” is actually an approach with a lot of historic precedent and success. Columbia is playing with fire by calling the NYPD on their own students.
