No kidding. Stuff like this is the only use-case for crypto.

Just looking at the fiction pulitzer, 4 of the last ten years had a white male winner, including the most recent winner, who wrote a book about religion and war, two topics conservatives obsess about. Not only is the argument silly to begin with, it isnt even factually true.

This is the whole thing and all any Dem candidate needs to say. Just say that “the transgender community are people trying to live their lives. The GOP has decided to make them a target because they have no answers on the issues that actually matter to people.” No need for anything more.

I was a teacher on 9/11, teaching US History to 8th graders in NJ. In the morning we had a few kids leave early, but it didn’t alarm me. Then the custodian came to my classroom and handed me a memo from the principal explaining about the attacks and asking us not to say anything to the students.

I think this misunderstands the purpose of admissions, which is not to slot the highest “merit” students at the top universities, then the next tier of “merit” at the next universities, etc, but to build academic communities that meet the university’s values.

It would really behoove the Dems to make consumer protection a core part of their messaging. Arbitration clauses, class action bars, scam phone calls, phony supplements, take it all on; it would make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

I had a roommate in college who was a sleep-talker. One time, unbeknownst to me, he had been watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Later that night, in the middle of his sleep, he sat almost bolt upright and said “We are going to die” and immediately fell back asleep. It was weird.

That Ben Sasse is comfortable appearing in public, much less offering his opinions in major media platforms, is a real condemnation of our society

Again, this is the President of the United States. That our President is completely unfit for office, in every way imaginable, is the only story worth reporting. It’s one of the greatest crises our country has faced, and anyone who suggests any different is trying to profit off this situation.

This Piker nonsense is like the old Farrakhan nonsense. The right has to inflate some nobody to counterbalance their collection of ghouls. You don’t have to play into it. But, there is no party discipline in the DNC, so if some leaders are being pressured to speak out on Piker, they will.

How the Democrat stance on this became “this is normal discourse,” as opposed to “this is stuff weirdos say to have an excuse to peek at your kids genitals,” I will never understand.

Nearly all of these guys (and they’re pretty much all guys) went through the experience of getting into their dream college and then being isolated by their general off-puttingness and it has defined their outlook for the rest of their lives.

Tolerating this kind of stupidity in our government is so damaging. This is total brain rot fiction and not being able to call it out, or treating Ron Johnson like he is owed any respect, is not something we can permit. We need to have some basic shared reality to function.

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

The Constitutional Crisis started in 2000. You've been living through it your entire adult life. The reason politics feels hopeless is by design — conservatives broke our democratic form of government to guarantee that the people cannot act against them and are continuing to break it.

Yeah, the “red state airports” will just double their capacity over night, and the people who love in those states, and need to use those airports, will love it.

Faulkner: "Sanctuary cities include Boston, Chicago, Denver, LA, NY, Philadelphia, SF. All of those airports handle 1,100 int'l flights per day. They're not just gonna not fly. They're gonna go to red states and cities. A boon for red states. People will just really hate living in blue states."

This is just a heavily coded way of saying that we need to throw certain groups (e.g., the trans community) under the bus. “College seminar” is the tell. This is not aimed at actual technocrats in the Democratic Party, who rely on consultant jargon.

Having a good portion of this list taken up by artists who are either inactive or well past their prime makes this entirely inessential. It’s just a list of mostly famous people. Give people current artists they should be listening to.

it really has become an enormous change, but I think our common presumptions "the purpose of society is to create a climate for me to satisfy my needs and wants, and we satisfy my needs and wants primarily through acquiring goods and services" would be Fucking Inscrutable to most people before 1900

My take on the big economic security debate is that the two sides are talking past each other. One side says “hey, you own so much great stuff” and the other says “but I don’t feel economically secure.”
