I’m pretty sure there are people out there who’d say that Fox News isn’t racist. But it’s pretty obvious, when you look at how they report things.

I’m going to try not to get in the habit of posting “memes” although I have to confess I have a tremendous archive of weird philosophy “memes.” A few of them won’t hurt you, right?
I’ve been a huge fan of Indian food since I first tasted it.
I planted a few bamboo by the forging shed, last fall. There were a few days of -4F weather in the winter and the bamboo (supposedly fairly cold hardy) died.
It would be embarrassing to try to comment on James Baldwin; he’s so brilliant, so articulate, so absolutely ruthless, and so fucking right.
I used to enjoy Mehdi Hasan’s work at The Intercept. He’s incredibly articulate, he does his research and all that thinky stuff, and he does not tolerate “both sides”-ism or bullshit. He’s climbing his way up the ladder of the media heirarchy, so he’s moved on from The Intercept to his own show on MSNBC.
One of the flaws in the concept of “History” is that important events trigger other important events, but that’s circular; it’s how we define “important.” Something is historically significant because a historian pointed at it and says, “See? Here is where that sequence of events got rolling.” That’s a conceit. Causality is real, in that events cascade in sequence and if one of them didn’t happen, subsequent events wouldn’t happen either, but human attempts to frame it are mostly an exercise in self-importance. In case you’re not up on it, that’s Michel Foucault’s main point: our interpretation of causes is always seen through a lens formed by existing power relationships.
When you’ve got search-strings in place for F-35 news, you can’t avoid the chest thumping regarding Israel’s F-35 and their proven effectiveness.
Pretty much: everyone. I wrote about it in 2016, when the scam was already under way with a full head of steam and an infinite budget [stderr]. It’s F-35 time!
Just a quick update about how my leg is doing.
