@brewsterkahle @trisweb @interfluidity @pluralistic
Physical libraries and physical materials have their place. Adding digitalisation is one part of library modernisation. Finland's e-library includes books, music, film, etc.

I'm a little behind on reading @interfluidity and I just bumped into this remarkable prose.
Yes, this is what it's about, the #broligarchy and the #christofacists be damned.

not on my bingo card, a ruling that securities law applies to and can be enforced to protect institutional investors, but leaves retail investors to their own devices.
are there precedents of this “security for thee but not for me”?
does it serve the purposes for which securities law was established if punters who want to treat a thing as poker chips absolve isssuers of legal responsibility?
kind of wow.

all in all it's just another brick in the wall, but have you considered the alternative might just be the anomie and social isolation that increasingly afflicts adults?
#RichardHanania is disingenuous in his international comparisons — none of the countries he cites that offer vouchers or choice eschews mandatory schooling in recognizable institutional form. sociability itself in a marketized, technologized, automotive economy is a core collective action problem.

"The point of a money-laundering operation is to take in both fairly-earned and dirty money, then mix them together so thoroughly that nobody can tell which is which. Likewise, the point of a privilege-laundering operation is to take in both fairly-earned and dirty privilege, then stamp both with a Harvard degree." #ScottAlexander https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/why-match-school-and-student-rank

Compare "Cocytarchy" with kakistocracy.

ht Thom A & @SteveRoth
hierarchy (lowerarchy?) as a pit rather than a pyramid certainly is evocative.
putting aside the grander comparisons (the army and civil service stuff seems a stretch), if you take the description of prison gangs seriously, reforming prisons to become smaller, to form communities governable and governed in a more civilized way, should be a first-order tough-on-crime priority!

The best thing you’ll read about the great $140,000 poverty debate, and the fallaciousness of reasoning endemic to the kind of people who get off on calling out other people’s fallacies. by #DanDavies https://backofmind.substack.com/p/ways-of-vibing

This is excellent, by #LeeDrutman
(i think the piece suggests fusion voting would not do enough more than that it’s a particularly hopeful way forward. but the analysis of where we are, and how futile much of our factionalizing is, has never been presented more clearly.)

“Don’t say the word pretext so loud. There has never been a pretext even once. We certainly don’t know what you mean. Just be quiet. Don’t say ‘We have to speak up now, because there will always be an excuse when the troops descend on the city or the strike hits the boat or the vans roll up and start shoving people inside.’ I’m sorry I said excuse. I’m sorry I said pretext. I should have said reason. I should have said nothing.” #AlexandraPetri https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/09/jimmy-kimmel-suspension-censorship/684267/?gift=jQN1t1D1nkO2TQodBiz5KJnoBWCrK2FN2bZjkw7xXCA&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

i'm really a single issue voter at this point: electoral reform.
if we don't "break the two-party doom loop”, as #LeeDrutman put it, it's hard to see how we don't escalate to killing each other even more than we are, let alone get any kind of sane and sensible governance.

“Much as I might wish for a better party system, I’m operating with my values in the one that we have, not the one I wish we had. In a different system, I might think and feel differently. We all might. And that is precisely my point.” #LeeDrutman https://leedrutman.substack.com/p/doomier-and-loopier-why-our-two-party
