Incredibly happy to announce that today I submitted my senior thesis! It has been the culmination of more than a year’s worth of research and writing. A big thank you to all my family and friends for pushing me through.

the breakout of the american civil war actually had pretty significant implications on the global production and shipping of cotton, so even from an international perspective, the president who cause the civil war is probably the worst one
Conner Hafen@Conblob

People will say Buchanan or Andrew Johnson but I kinda view those guys as plumber-ball era presidents. The US was just so much less globally important and powerful so even a truly terrible president mattered so much less. Trump’s idiotic whims become instant global problems now.

i think they’re moreso about the horror inherent in nostalgia, but i don’t think it’s in a particularly critical way. he seems to be happy with the dialectic nature of the past and critical of the illusion of resolution or of unique complexity inherent in the present

david lynch is both somewhat personally conservative but also made all of his movies about criticizing the conservative way of life. much to consider

contrast this to Warren’s style of technocracy, or yang’s futurism. bernie’s political language borrows a lot from small c conservatism and that’s not necessarily a bad thing!! this is not to say that he isn’t progressive. some of these tendencies can be found in marx!

bernie’s most famous ad used a simon and garfunkel song, some of his most famous merch had pictures from his mayoral win in the 70s. it idealized a purer past which had been corrupted and must be made anew with political activism and social progressivism. a patriotic return

in a real sense, the version of conservatism that lunch very clearly participates in is inclusive of bernie’s political movement too, itself steeped in an almost heideggerian understanding of present struggles through the lens of past activism.

Socrates: So then you agree, Meno, that dialogue is more appropriate to philosophy than lecturing? Meno: Yes, Socrates. Socrates: And that is because, in a lecture, a single speaker expounds his own ideas unilaterally? Meno: Yes, that seems right. Socrates: Whereas in dialogue, both parties give rise to correct understanding together? Meno: No doubt, it must be so. Socrates: Such that different interlocutors come together exchange ideas as equals? Meno: By Zeus, I couldn't have said it better, Socrates!

Emily let me clue you into something that has been a standing order for decades - No Doctors, Nurses, teachers and other city agencies. Since I was the Chief of Dept -I altered this to add , Any friend of @sidrosenberg19 was a friend of ours - free pass for Sid’s friends. I did this because I could. That’s just the way it is my precious snowflake.

it’s truly shocking how bad adorno’s writing is on jazz, especially considering how good his writing on classical and romantic music is. just so beset with basic factual errors, racist stereotypes, and bitter resentment

I think Zohran's co-opting of efficiency from the right will be seismic for the American socialist project. We need to run a national campaign against The Contractor State—neoliberalism's grand, massively inefficient outsourcing of government functions to private contractors.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.
