  4. @cykonot We miss live music. I sing in a choir and my participation has been very tentative and irregular since we went back to in person rehearsals. Our usual venue, though, has excellent ventilation (St James Cathedral in Seattle: now there’s an amazing concert hall). SFJazz has a terrific Friday night program, frequently live, too. Terence Blanchard is the artistic director and their activities are expanding.

    "Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed" by Andrew Koppelman

    I found this book very helpful to understand a) what #capitalism is, b) why (in a well-managed form) it is probably the best economic system we're going to get, c) how conservatives have perverted and shaped it, and d) how to push back.

  7. @cykonot The public library here in Athens-Clarke County does this too, and it's a wonderful service! We're not on the list (which you can see here: athenslibrary.org/borrowing/no) because we already offer free admission, but these passes are great for all kinds of people. They also check out ukeleles. 🌴

  18. RE: mastodon.online/@sarahtaber/11

    The human capacity for self-delusion is something we should study more tbh

    Meta-emotional regulation/coping via backflips. "I'm the good guy, actually. Taxes are THEFT! Everyone else is jealous/would do the same in my shoes." Etc etc. Just avoiding introspection / conscious understanding of the self, while perversely centering yourself while reckoning the morality of your excesses. "You can't convince a man of something his paycheck requires that he not believe," but you're picking sycophants

  19. Seems like the Whitehouse will only exit its nursing home era after entering its hospice era

  20. Hobbies which double as class signifiers include:
    Yachting
    Polo (requires multiple horses)
    Having dinner with Jeffrey Epstein
    Etc

  21. Not sure where "vanity spacecraft / submarine project" goes on the list, cuz that's more nation-state level wealth? Like, we let the oligarchs get so rich we have Rockefellers etc again... Not even a class, more like an exclusive collection of robber-barons

  22. RE: mastodon.social/@scienmagcom/1

    Drugs targeting nuclear protein subtypes are neat cuz they can focus on direct transcriptional impact while limiting immediate ionotropic/metabotropic effects... Sometimes you're more focused on long-term transcriptional adaptions than acute effects

  23. RE: freeradical.zone/@FranceskaMan

    Grass lawns are stupid and wasteful. What an awful tradition

  24. RE: newsie.social/@TheNeedling/116

    No bus stops, because then we might be incentivized to address the housing crisis, whoch would decrease the value of our homes by increasing supply / affordability

    Or something idk "abundance" is a canard to avoid talking about the perverse capitalistic incentives shaping society and creating scarcity to maximize the rate of return on investments... It's getting to the point that it's just rent-seeking all the way down, and no one with power is incentivized to recognize it — let alone fix it

  25. Riffing is ranting but with a lil whimsy
