  1. There’s a particular kind of decision that doesn’t just change the law. It rewrites the story we tell ourselves about the country. The #SupremeCourt’s latest ruling on the Voting Rights Act is one of those decisions.

    In striking down what remained of protections against racial vote dilution, the court’s conservative majority didn’t simply narrow a statute. It made a far more sweeping claim, implicit but unmistakable: that the conditions that justified the law no longer exist. That the problem it was designed to solve has, more or less, been solved.

  2. This reminded me of when my cousin and I used to go to Georgetown (in DC) every weekend, in search of the next new album:

    “Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but when I was a teenager, I took the train to go to the record store to find rare stuff. Spotify is way more convenient, but that wasn’t the point. The point was to get out and to feel like you’re hunting, to feel like you’re living your life.”

  3. The Right Is Obsessed With Lord of the Rings, and they don’t understand It. And any of these dopes, #Musk, #Thiel, #Vance, would clearly have tried to take the Ring for themselves.

    #Palantir takes its name from Tolkien’s “seeing stones”: powerful tools for seeing across distance, but also objects that deceive nearly everyone who uses them.

    That irony matters. #Tolkien distrusted the fusion of technology and power, especially government power. So what does it mean when a secretive tech firm built on government contracts wraps itself in his mythology?

  13. 2/Aging, without a person aging.

    Aging, as an organic process of what we call the body.

    Aging, without the belief that I am the body, without sadness.

    Aging, in what is Aware and beyond time.

    Death, as a thought in unchanging, aware Presence.

    Death, as a concept that appears in life, just like the concept of birth.

    Death, as a story about a body, without added stories of death of a self.

    Death as an idea about the future, and a reminder that all there is, is NOW.
