Hey, I wanted to say thank you so much for the reposts & shares on this yesterday. Book hype is HARD. It was hard on Twitter before it went to hell, and it's harder on Bluesky. IDK if it's me or the culture but shares seem rarer here. Any help is noticed and appreciated.

generally speaking I am an admirer of the human race but a reliable way to make me long for our annihilation via asteroid is being reminded of how we treat dogs. All animals, really, but especially dogs.

one question we ask ourselves--and get from others--at liberal currents is "what does it mean to be a liberal?" this is my attempt at answering it. liberalism is not merely a "well it's the least worst of everything." liberalism is an answer to our deepest questions about ourselves

Starfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy Podcast @irhottakes.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm going insane, but this is an excerpt from the actual academic writing I do for my actual respectable university as an actual political scientist in training and I'm just not sure if I can fucking take it anymore.

The resulting coarsening of elite conservative discourse is notable. Twenty years ago, it would have been a scandal if a major defense contractor and Republican donor publicly endorsed the retrograde opinions on gender relations offered by “@cumlasagna1.” Yet Elon Musk’s embrace of “@cumlasagna1” did not even make the headlines on December 15, 2025 as the primary political story of the day was President Trump appearing to take credit for inspiring the assassination of Princess Bride director Rob Reiner and Reiner’s wife due to their liberal activism. (The president’s conclusions may have been premature. Reiner’s son-in-law would later be charged with the crime and police state they believe a personal dispute rather than political disagreement was the primary motive.) All of this has clear implications for who gets to be an expert and how expertise gets to be legitimated in conservative national security discourse. Given his agreement with a profane Garfield themed far-right social media account’s stance on the cognitive capabilities of women, it is unlikely that all else being equal, a female spacepower strategist or aerospace engineer would have her suggestions taken as seriously as one of her male counterparts by the influential Republican defense contractor. It also broadens the range of potential policy outcomes, which in turn has

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published Feb. 2025)

But I cannot stress enough: we have spent decades de-prioritizing and defunding the humanities broadly in secondary and post-secondary education and then we're all surprised-Pikachu-face when we are suffering from systematic leadership failures in exactly those skills and knowledge domains.
