       @fcktheworld587 Been calling them "Radicals," for two decades. They are the opposite of conservative. Using their frame means we submit to their gaslighting.

       @CatDragon @rbreich Old Feudalism worked because the Owners™️ understood fully the damage that their workers could do to their estates. Horses, dogs, carriages, silver, weapons, fireplaces, kitchens, and slop bowls all required specific care.Also, the landowners feared Hell, so they made life moderately comfortable for those who did their bidding. New Feudal-ists have yet to appreciate or understand what servants actually do, and they have no fear of Hell. The good news is, we know what we do, and we know how weak and clueless most of our bosses are. They couldn't fill a fuel tank, connect a generator, or change a tire if their lives depended on it.

       @Teri_Kanefield @kctipton Ventura County denizen weighing in to quibble. Please forgive me.Though we Ventuck-ians would love to be Central Coast, we haven't made the cut and mostly settle for Southern California.Santa Barbarians get to pick and they usually pick your lovely Central Coast team. Confusingly, the Central Valley does not quite correspond to the Central Coast.Fully agree that anything north of the Golden Gate is Northern California.

       @Teri_Kanefield @kctipton Sadly. Lately, Los Angeles is here in Ojai, indeed.

       @maximum_mew @clive @pluralistic Thank you a million for these pieces. Though never a weaver, I am an enthusiastic knitter and my devotion to the anachronistic world of horses perhaps make me an honorary Luddite. High school English Thomas Hardy first introduced the Luddites, or maybe our teacher's work to give Hardy context.A grad school lecture/demo by Laurel Ulrich of Midwife's Tale fame, awakened my interest in weaving. She used a flat linen crib sheet, first woven as (what passed for) a full sheet in the early 1800s to demonstrate the labor story Doctorow tells. (He's been on a roll lately, BTW.)I'll never forget the feel of the one remaining original, almost invisibly hand-hemmed, edge. The rest of the piece had been cut down and variously home-machine hemmed and patched over the last 100-ish years. Though those were interesting too, the capacity for the original linen hemming to survive into the 21st century blew my mind.

       @JJPeterson @GottaLaff National reporters used to have Rolodexes broad and deep enough to make these statements: "O’Keefe and Viguerie did not respond to requests for comment," and "Clark did not respond to a request for comment," moot.Also, making the 990-form avoidance sound like a bookkeeping convenience when it's designed for wealthy donors ashamed to have their names associated with this radical and illegal scheme sickens me.
