Pretty big issue that one party sees people voting as against their interests

Excerpts from Michael Lewis on DOGE (Guardian article). 1. Gavin Kliger, white nationalist, refused to shake hands with the Black IRS staffer who briefed him on privacy issues. Or pay attention. Kliger now has a defense start-up valued at 1.4B thanks to DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Phyllis, who loved working for Kathleen and saw falling on hand grenades as part of her job, never told her how this one had felt. She knew Gavin had expressed enthusiasm for white nationalists, and he likely knew that she knew. She tried to break the ice by walking in with her hand extended; Gavin stared at it and declined to shake it, though he had shaken the hands of the white men who had offered them. “He was kind of cool towards me,” said Phyllis. Before she could even start the briefing, he said, You know, I’ve heard these rules before at other agencies. Yes, she said, but these rules are different, because no other agency is governed by this privacy law, and this law can get you thrown in jail very quickly. As she walked him through the basics – how you can’t use your personal phone for business, how if you happen to so much as glimpse a form 1040 with someone’s name on it you must avert your eyes – Gavin played on his phone. “He’s multitasking right in front of me, typing and texting,” said Phyllis. “It was, here’s a routine that I must endure.”

Listen you sound nuts if you try to explain that a bunch of silicon valley luminaries are involved in a weird cult that started with a harry potter fanfic and that their weird bboard flame war has spilled over into the real world That's absurd is what that is But also... It's true

For the record, Baltimore has had fifty homicides so far this year. In 2022, it had around 150 by this time.

Absolutely a bummer to lose game manuals, especially ones with extra effort like with concept art or written in universe. I think alpha centauri has like a 200 page book that explains literally every mechanic

It has to be under 100 degrees for images to load right. It said that when you signed up for the site. I distinctly remember being prompted to say “Images may not load right if it’s over 100 degrees out” when I gave out Bluesky invites, legally you had to tell people that. So we all knew about this.

This framing positions the back and forth debate as the ultimate end goal of politics rather than improving things for people as best you can.

Obviously others have already said but while yes its good we've got birthright intact in a just world it would be 9-0, and even in our dumb one it should have been 7-2. This should be both celebrated and used as example #1 for court reform

My wife and I both bounced off of it but most people seem to like it. I hope you are one of them. If not you should be able to tell within 100 pages and take the exit ramp if necessary.

That's why court reform is a day 1 necessity. It's either that or just start ignoring the court but I don't think dems are ready for the latter and are still having to be coaxed to the former.

No one but science history nerds need to read the origin of species. We've learned so much about evolution since then that it wouldn't teach much, and the context for its novelty is long gone. This would come off as intellectually masturbatory if it didn't also look AI generated.

Id like to humbly recommend the addition of a harder cheese that maintains flavor when heated. I use parmesan or asiago from aldi so im not breaking the bank. I do it in a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio. If you want a fancy version I have other cheese recommendations

Id like to argue but its mostly quibbling about numbers because for a certain percent of the population this is 100% accurate. "The u.s. does stuff but nothing ever happens to it" is a decent proportion of how we got trump

The strong claims tied to broad generalities is remarkable, consistent in every insider critique of academic standards. Asking these people to supply any examples of the phenomena they decry results in a gish gallop of disordered resentments. It’s remarkable how low the standards are for this genre.
