It’s ironical to me that we’re living in a time…where we actually now can’t do anything until we talk to our loan officer in Beijing. We have a Communist banker. That’s where deregulation got us. It’s like Ayn Rand got loaded and woke up next to Keynes.

This is just a collection of things I think are neat.
A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
