Everyday I love the first great Miles Davis Quintet as much as I did the first time I heard them. And every day I love the second great Miles Davis Quintet more than the day before.

My only regret about our onrushing planetary breakdown is that Christopher Hitchens and George Carlin won't be around to observe and comment.

I wonder if some secret communications are going on between Russia and the US via India’s President Modi?

First Modi visits the White House, then traveled to the Kremlin to meet Putin.

Makes one go hmmmm.

Humans are extremely malleable. Adaptation is how we have done so well in the game of evolution. So the systems we grow and live in have a significant impact on behavior like coastal trees bent by wind. Systems that incentivize exploitation and selfishness will naturally produce or give visibility and power to that behavior.

@Radical_EgoCom @Huntn00 > Capitalism is inherently exploitative.

Maybe humans are inherently exploitative? It can't be coincidence that all social systems so far basically are evolution of competition and exploitation.

@Huntn00 @mikebrew @Jayslacks I’ll comment more when typing from something other than smartphone but totes agree!

"Arkin, who was known for projecting a characteristically dry wit but could play tragedy with equal efficacy, won his Oscar for his supporting performance in the indie comedy “Little Miss Sunshine” in 2007; he scored an encore nomination for his punchy and profane turn in Ben Affleck’s best picture winner “Argo.” Arkin picked up two earlier nominations in his film career, in 1967 and 1969." https://variety.com/2023/film/obituaries-people-news/alan-arkin-dead-little-miss-sunshine-argo-1235658718/

I must've listened to this song at least 10x since yesterday. I hope that it provides you some hope and inspiration to fight these fucking #fascists.

There are WAY more of us than there are of them. That's why they're scared shitless. #AntifaAF

I used some time this morning to write my state reps about the need for waste management legislation. Trying to find an outlet every time I get angry or depressed helps.

"This is not a show, every meter is given by blood." - General Zaluzhnyi

A stark reminder of the reality of war.

One thing missing from the Western popular media analysis of the war is troop number concentration. Most of the information indicates that Ukraine is seriously outnumbered and outgunned.

And yet, they move forward against great odds-and at great risk.

With the limited data we have in the West, it's impossible to truly understand what they're up against.

@mikebrew @Huntn00 @Jayslacks Well, since Gunn's defection, we - in the Marvel Universe - don't care WHAT he has to say, now do we? 😉

@Radical_EgoCom @Huntn00 And that's why I support a cooperative economic system instead of a corporate one. Cooperatives are owned by the very people who would otherwise be exploited, so the incentive to do so evaporates. And with the one share per shareholder, nobody ends up exercising undue power over others or accumulating wealth excessively.

Damn. As expected:

Steve Vladeck:

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS strikes down Harvard and UNC race-based affirmative action programs.

… says they illegally use race.

Mystal:

John Roberts says that affirmative action at Harvard and UNC violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

That means it's dead.

It's 6-3. Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissent.
