I agree with this assessment, and Mamdani's popularity in NYC provides some credence to this. Voters have wanted the Dems to move left since at least 2016, but the Democratic establishment routinely punishes those who aren't movin

I found this post useful in understanding this phenomenon: https://www.offmessage.net/p/how-liberalism-sabotages-itself The basic gist is that the left is too generous in its understanding of others' intentions, a

I think your thinking also aligns with the ideas outlined in The Future is Degrowth ( https://www.versobooks.com/products/2620-the-future-is-degro... ). I found it to be a very approachable book, if you haven't re

I wonder how this intersects with their interest in "unbiased" models. Scare quotes because their concept of unbiased is scary.

I think taxes are simply one way for us all to collectively pay for important things like basic research, education, healthcare, and transportation.

No need to scrounge! What if just a tiny bit of our taxes went to this?

I think immibis's comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44639370 ) has a couple great examples of what I'm talking about. To add on, the Court has also allowed the executive branch to essentially shutter fe

It hardly matters what various theorists think while 6 justices on the Supreme Court are dedicated to giving the President as much power to override Congress as he pleases.

Wow, thanks for telling me! I watched Manufactured Landscapes back before the other two had come out and hadn't heard about the rest of the trilogy.

There's a fantastic documentary about Burtynsky's work, Manufactured Landscapes. I highly recommend it, even if you just watch the opening. https://www.edwardburtynsky.com/projects/films/manufactured-...

Of all the book cover design trends, I think I like this one the best. I certainly prefer it to blobby illustrations or poor imitations of Saul Bass. I wonder what the next trend will be!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gates. All those moments will be lost in time, like <blink> and <marq
