there's an interview with graeber about the book that covers a good deal of the book's content pretty succinctly:

for more like this, cal flyn's "islands of abandonment" is an interesting read featuring several surprising example of how ecosystems have adapted to varying levels of human destruction

Wilson Hall is the total opposite of depressing for me. Especially the interior is quite beautiful:

The art and architecture around the lab has a surprisingly rich history dating back to its first director who was also a sculptor/artist: https://history.fnal.gov/historical/art_arch/art_architectur...

Miami Vice has acquired a pretty substantial cult following in recent years, and among the people i know who are "into" Mann, it pretty commonly ranks as their favorite as well.

For me it's still Thief (or Heat) but MV is very close

Did the Dominican Republic have to pay outrageous reparations to their former enslavers? You know, the thing this article was about?

The article is about Haitian slaves having to pay reparations to their enslavers. Nobody brought up reparations being paid to slaves except you.

They would have fared a lot better if … France didn’t saddle them with reparations for their independence … like what the entire article posted was about

Do you mean to suggest they’d be better off as slaves?

pretty interesting that nowhere in the article does it mention that any of these CEOs have tried, say, offering higher compensation/better benefits compared to similar remote-friendly jobs.

when i see "at their wits' end" i take that to mean "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

The article makes a pretty specific argument as to why those things are different.

What do I do when not a single candidate in any election that I can vote in has even heard of, much less taken my preferred position on, this issue?
