With that surprising phrase — “Our differences are precious and our similarities infinite” — ⁦⁦@DrBiden⁩ smuggles a promising new political hypothesis into stock holiday wishes.

I wonder who wrote this. apple.news/AKZZzWZjBRbeA8…
Differences are rubies and similarities are grains of sand.
Our differences are expensive and our similarities cheap.

Joe Biden is an extremely good president.
He's almost making this place less of a humiliating shitshow with an approach to the people that's like Stalin's: "min food/max work."
80% of the jobs created by the infrastructure plan won't require a college degree.

Dammit, this is interesting. Where I was sure “education” in Va campaign was only code for racist panic it really seems these women were chiefly concerned abt “learning loss”—among kids in special ed, notably—a legit concern McAuliffe shd’ve picked up on. cnn.com/videos/politic…
I have no doubt the CRT panic worked on single-issue segregation voters, but when Obama said discussion of education was JUST phony culture war, he missed a chance to at least recognize the enormous exertion of women who homeschooled in the pandemic.
It’s notable that these centrists are basically balking at the entrepreneurism required of them & their children for the last 20 months, and demanding better social services — public schools, tutoring, etc. Biden should be able to address these anxieties w BBB, New Deal thinking.

The planet is going to be just fine. wired.com/story/pangaea-…
The thriving, rambunctious lithosphere means that even humans will survive in our component parts: oxygen, nitrogen, carbon. Whatever happens to the biosphere, our afterlife will be in the elements.
Heaven turns out to be down there, in the crust and mantle, rocks and lava and sloshing iron.

Jim Cramer defines the metaverse:

“The metaverse is … you’re looking at basically — you can be in Oculus or whatever — and you say, ‘I like the way that person looks in that shirt, I want to order that shirt.’” latimes.com/opinion/story/…
Alt: The metaverse is the sum total of physical, augmented and virtual reality.

So it’s JC Penney or a scorched-earth everything nightmare
PHYSICAL reality. So reality.

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

Pope
The Nazis, fwiw, loved Nietzsche on forgetting:

“No happiness, no serenity, no hope, no pride, no enjoyment of the present moment could exist without the possibility of forgetting.”

Holocaust survivors: “Never forget.”
