I'll see your hope, and raise it. Carey does a great job explaining why there's reason for long term optimism. But wait, there's more. My in-depth analysis of the psychology of the myth of authority (see my own Substack) shows that a free society is an emergent phenomenon. Yes, a raised consciousness of individual liberty helps, but beli…
If you still support trump in any possible way, what you are saying is you are fine with warrant-less arrests for words someone doesn’t like. While you can support this tyranny all you want, please shut the fuck up about freedom, do not ever whine about social media censorship ever again, and don’t act surprised when your door gets kicke…

It is overwhelmingly clear that all pretense of principled support for freedom of speech was thrown out the window by the second Trump administration.
It is gutter-level partisan warfare, plain and simple. MSNBC is, of course, the Democratic Party’s mirror image of Fox News, but the sitting U.S. President attacking major news services as …

Why are some SS ‘creators’ more interested in who is ‘funding’ pro-Palestinian protests** than they are in calling out the obvious use of censorship to derail criticism of a Genocide in Palestine?
The answer is obvious: these people are crypto Zionists and they are deliberately trying to whip up even more hatred between groups. Some of them have nothing to fear as they are in ‘the dual national club’ and are actively trying to deflect attention away from Israel and its AIPAC handlers running the…
I wonder about not only the stairs into the high-ceiling LR/DR. I've begun questioning double height spaces in homes in general. It's a combination of the increased heating/cooling volume and, to my eyes, the fact that many high spaces don't actually add comfort and many, in fact, end up feeling overwhelming and cold (figuratively, though maybe literally as well).
I'm lucky in that my apartment (in a gutted 1904 tenement building) has roughly 9'+ ceilings. Those do indeed feel better than cookie cutter 8' ceilings. But I don't feel the need for anything higher - or to pay for heating and cooling it. Mind you I grew up in a 1980s modern house with cathedral ceilings throughout and big triangular clerestory windows. The design was dramatic, but I don't miss the high ceilings at all. And I find high flat ceilings even colder and less appealing.
Don't get me started on McMansions with pointless two-story entry halls.
