Kara Walker's stunning "Unmanned Drone," a deconstructed & reassembled statue of Stonewall Jackson that was originally located in Charlottesville, Virginia until its 2021 removal. A fascinating & complex artwork, now on view at LA art space The Brick as part of "Monuments" exhibition the-brick.org

As a former Palisadian, I can say that the risks of living there do not need to be covered by people living in less affluent, low fire risk neighborhoods.

California insurers set to charge homeowners for L.A. County fire costs Residential policyholders across California could be paying several hundred million dollars to help cover the costs of claims arising out of the January firestorms in Los Angeles County.

The losses the CA state insurer of last resort took on are being funded (in part) by an equal percentage increase to policy holders across the state, regardless of fire risk at any specific property? (Let alone consideration of property value or income??)

The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. 🔌💡

Here’re some options the decision leaves intact for stopping unconstitutional orders nationwide: (1) plaintiffs show that their injuries can’t be redressed absent nationwide relief (ie, blue states will get to argue again that they can’t be made to determine citizenship anew for all who move here)

Some attitudes we usually do not have I present a new attitude puzzle involving disjunction. Specifically, though it can sound strange to ascribe the belief that ϕ$\phi$ or ψ$\psi$ when ⌜ϕ⌝$\ulcorner \phi \urcorner$ and ⌜ψ⌝$\ulcorner \ps...

My paper just came out in PPR today, here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... It's about interesting relationships that our attitudes bear to the world. I argue that belief is very different from other attitudes, and this difference follows from its relationship to the truth of token contents.

There Was Never Any "Fascism Debate" They Refused to Engage

It was always clear why Ganz’s left-wing interlocutors fought with him: To do so would be to admit that US governance could get much worse — or that professional-class liberals, who academic leftists define themselves against, might be right about something.

Maybe we need to employ #nudges, where video would stop every 5 minutes and you can’t continue unless you confirm that you’ve understood what’s happening #nudges
