It is profoundly unfair to the important — and currently •urgent• — cause of Palestinian liberation that it is a minefield of deceit and outright lies in all directions, plus accidental & deliberate antisemitism. But one •must• step carefully. Please do. 18/18
We live in a time when so many aspects of reaction are built on the largely unchallenged premise that the welfare of one's family justifies any measure, no matter how antisocial; it feels almost heretical to suggest that perhaps not everything is permissible, even for your kids
As someone with similar tastes, it amazes me that Musk has not registered how Special Circumstances would not hesitate to send a knife missile after Heinlein
As someone who reads a lot of bad science fiction by people with a vastly overinflated sense of their own importance and intelligence, it is so, so tediously obvious where Musk gets all his ideas from.
I prefer when NIMBYs are brutally honest about their intentions
The label of "pedophile," "groomer," and "rapist" as you often see it in popular evangelical discourse really doesn't depend much at all whether that person has actually committed any of those acts, and you can absolutely rape someone in evangelical spaces
I'm bullish on an eventual AOC presidency, and this is one reason why. AOC understands that touting oneself as "anti-war" is not the same thing as actually being "anti-war", because other countries have agency, too.
AOC thinks that "almost more than Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard's appointment is devastating" and that "a Tulsi Gabbard nomination is a pro-war nomination globally. Point blank, period."
This should be familiar to Americans old enough to remember 9/11 and GWB
before people get all “conspiracy” about this the IDF and Bibi Admin are locked in a battle of passing the buck for the largest intelligence and defensive failure since 1973, with the IDF standing to lose their status as Israel’s most vaunted and respected institution
I've mentioned before, but I think about this a lot. "There must be another room, somewhere down the hall, where the real meeting is happening, where the real experts are, making the real decisions ... because it can’t just be us. It can’t just be this." -- Jake Sullivan, 2013
I’m trying to be better than a told-you-so but I’m listening to cable news talk seriously about the risk/promise of a Trump permanent presidency and remembering the producers who scoffed when I reported on his proposals to do that far back as ‘20, and I’m bitterly failing.
Institutions whose mission consists mainly of preventing bad things from happening struggle to sustain “output legitimacy”: OTOH, if the bad thing DOES happen, you’ve obviously failed; OTOH, if nothing bad happens, people will over time start to think the threats aren’t real…la
This is exactly how Orwell's 1984 ends: Winston Smith is TOLD how the Party makes up reality, but is freed once he pledges to follow it unquestioningly nonetheless. But Big Brother didn't make him Secretary of State. Even Orwell didn't take it that far.
NEW: Trump has tapped for his cabinet, two GOP legislators—Rubio & Stefanik—who each confirmed that Putin attacked the 2016 election to help Trump. In 2020, Rubio produced a 966-page report detailing this. So there's no hoax & they know Trump's lying. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
Guys I really don’t think “scientific studies that can be made to sound ridiculous if you summarize them uncharitably” is a major contributor to government waste.
In 2023, the U.S. government spent: -$500,000 for Dr. Fauci’s transgender monkey study -A portion of $12M went to study dog rectal temperatures -$2.7M on studying cats on a treadmill -$8,400 on a lobster tank for the DOD -A portion of $12M to study monkeys on meth
So no laying down with headphones on eating a snack. There is actual hard research that studying with the same environmental variables as your test helps your brain retrieve information, and you can set yourself up for success by using that to your advantage!
It turns out that the Paperclip Maximizer is much less a threat than nerds driving ourselves insane by projecting our desperate desire to believe in superintelligent AI onto a bullshit-generating machine
"Claude" is insane because it appears to be one of the most legitimately dangerous psychotechs with the potential to gigafry your attachment but is exclusively used by vulnerablepoasters who unironically want to like "heal their inner child" and basically get one shotted by it
I do not believe this. If you can piss off your progressive staff campaigning with Liz Cheney, you can go on Rogan (which online progressives were broadly in favor of). The campaign had agency. I think it was just a risk averse move.
new: a Kamala campaign adviser explains why she didn't go on Joe Rogan: ft.com/content/9292db… from @FTJFranklin & me
"Fuck your feelings" but also please come to thanksgiving, we miss you and our vote had nothing to do with you, honey.
I bet you can guess what I predict
We’re about to find out whether there are any patriots among Republican Senators, or whether they’ll make excuses for the foreign-backed demolition of our Republic that is now plainly underway.
