Yeah, but Chris, what was Chase Utley wearing today? Did he have two buttons undone on his shirt? Did he wear his socks respectfully pulled up? Did he or any Dodger at any point... I hesitate to even ask... wear a hat backwards?

One of my favorite education bloggers had a great piece about how the teachers who cheated on tests in Atlanta did (yes, the wrong thing) at the behest of those above them in order to save their jobs, and were sent to jail. The vast majority of the people who fucked the global economy got golden parachutes.

People give a shit. They’re powerless, have to work constantly to survive and live in fear of the illness/accident that will destroy their finances.

We’re in a second Gilded Age. The sooner people realize that, the sooner we’ll get to a second Progressive Era.

When the meltdown was happening in 2008, I kept telling my friends I was fine with it, as long as 10 000 people went to jail.

I guess, unless you’re Zaphod, it can make you feel shitty due to it’s scale, but if you went up in a rocket you would be able to experience the moon, maybe mars (I’d like to point out that these are not space. They are planets.…

Space is fine. The ocean is scary. If I drift too far from my spacecraft (or it violently succumbs to the vacuum of space while I’m in it), I die fairly painlessly. I slowly lose consciousness and then never wake up, or it happens so fast that I don’t perceive it.

You know what would be more satisfying?  Not giving these people a platform in the first place.
