this is a very dishonestly framed article given that in the actual text of the article it acknowledges that he confirmed he stands by sponsoring the equality act after giving the answer the headline refers to, a fact that directly contradicts the headline

They're partying in military housing while they make the actual troops live on squalid boats and wrecked airbases so their families back home can pay $5 a gallon.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Denying Catholic priests the ability to administer sacraments to Catholic prisoners is objectively insanely offensive to Catholicism in a way that almost nothing else could be

Ossoff is definitely not listening to Yglesias/Klein/PodSave reactionary centrist crowd, he does not think his marginal voter is a white-supremacist, and that is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the vast majority of US who are not white-supremacists.

The idea that an elected government must engage in processes *longer than an electoral mandate* before undertaking a project is absurd and antidemocratic. We should reasonably expect our governments to be able to do things.

Ppersonally think it's just for the first time ever we can pick and choose when to have children, and how many we want to have, and a lot of people are waiting until later so the birthrate is down. This is much less a "we're doomed" crisis and more a "this is a huge change we haven't adapted to yet"

"It's unacceptable to intentionally kill civilians, and no amount of killing civilians justifies intentionally killing more civilians in response" seems like a profoundly easy moral stance to take. And yet...

I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

Trump: the bad guys can bomb san diego. that would be funny to me. NYT: it remains absolutely impossible to determine what the president meant by these remarks. but someone close to mamdani once said intifada, which strongly suggests mamdani shares all of arafat’s views.
