"I'm moving through this slowly, but it seems like a really important and thorough analysis. The examples of formalized inhumanity are harrowing, but it seems like a useful tool for future prison reform and prison abolition movement planners. It also seems extra urgent because I think we thoughtlessly tend to treat mass incarceration as the result of a single root cause, which limits our ability to fight it." Sep 16, 2015 10:27AM

"Makes a John Wayne movie look like Chomsky. They clearly teach fantastic figure drawing and drafting at the Joe Kubert School, but the Political History department must be a ghost town." Feb 23, 2015 07:44AM

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.”
Kurt Vonnegut

H.L. Mencken
“I know of no American who starts from a higher level of aspiration than the journalist. . . . He plans to be both an artist and a moralist -- a master of lovely words and merchant of sound ideas. He ends, commonly, as the most depressing jackass of his community -- that is, if his career goes on to what is called a success.”
H.L. Mencken, Prejudices: First Series

Hunter S. Thompson
“When the Pentagon feels free and even gleeful about killing anybody and Everybody who gets in the way of their vicious crusade for oil, the public soul of this country has changed forever, and professional sports is only a serenade for the death of the American dream. Mahalo.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness: Modern History from the ESPN.com Sports Desk

Marjane Satrapi
“To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart.”
Marjane Satrapi, Embroideries

George Orwell
“Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”
George Orwell, 1984
