The last article you’ll ever need to read about Nithya—I give you my latest honkings in Geese:

[Geese Magazine🪿 @geesemagazine]

After a contentious debate that has claimed center stage in the organization's discourse, a cross-tendency group of DSA-LA leaders argues for endorsing Nithya Raman for mayor against liberal incumbent Karen Bass. The authors believe this decision will consolidate other chapter campaigns around the most high-profile race in the city, engage with the material realities of the working class, and move Los Angeles closer to DSA's ultimate political horizon. The endorsement vote begins today and runs until September 1st. If you are a member of DSA-LA, make your voice heard by casting your vote before the deadline.

Now that I know Sid is actually reading the responses, I decided to think very hard and come up with an innovative idea for DSA's presidential plan:

We need a serious investigation into why Hakeem Jeffries was unable to get enough Dems to attend the vote on Hegseth yesterday.

If he was busy whipping members for the Speaker vote instead, that is a severe misalignment in priorities and wildly disappointing.

the reason moby-dick remains such a vital piece of human art is that it addresses what is probably one of humanity's greatest collective atrocities, the genocide of the whales, with an ambivalence it cannot itself fully articulate. melville is distraught, but he can't explain why

You gotta be more careful than that when you’re honoring Dick Burns.

Terrific @TheAtlantic piece on archaeologists' and anthropologists' slowly dawning realization that now-submerged areas on the coastal shelf--swathes of land drowned when the glaciers melted--may be where much of our species' early history took place. (Link in reply)

The problem with this is Mary Beard is famous for sitting on these prize committees solely to stop middling authors from awarding huge awards to middle brow crap. She doesn't have to do it, neither does SJP. It doesn't burnish their stars. Long live professional snobs!

One of the best SNL skits I have seen in years. The fact that it was actually in Spanish made it so much better. Well done

What do you y'all think?

[Kill Tim Faust 💀 @crulge]

TLDR: Medicare for America lets private insurance companies make higher per capita profits and forces the public plan to shoulder the costs for the sickest patients. This makes the public plan worse — it's self-destructive in the long run. Bad plan.

[Kill Tim Faust 💀 @crulge]

OK. Because I anticipate it being a pain in my ass, I went through the Medicare for America proposal. My takeaway: It is a poorly crafted bill that gives private insurers huge advantages and creates a two-tier health finance system with a self-destructing public plan.

If anyone wonders why Palantir's CEO just did a softball interview with Politico's softest reporter to kickoff his leftward spin media cycle, keep in mind who he's doing it for. It all goes back to this party leadership fight

@springbris Ooooh can you link me that sounds great

[G*rre @springbris]

similar thing is how the “Chinese cooking demystified” channel recently did a video on pre-Columbian exchange Chinese food and it being filled with recipes using dill, mustard, thyme and stuff like goat cheeses that resembled paneer or halloumi, doesn’t read as Chinese to us
