Technically, empathy is not the opposite of selfishness. It is the opposite of solipsism.

Equality for people who are not white men is perceived as an outrageous injustice; “We” have been robbed by “Them,” the sinister forces of “leftism”; “We” must reclaim what is rightfully “ours” – not lost territory this time, but status and power in politics, society, and culture.

The “tax the rich and they’ll all leave” crowd might want to take a seat. Tax the rich opponents keep that narrative going even though data shows it’s false. NY raised taxes on the wealthy in 2021. We were told the millionaires would flee. 2021: 90,579 2022: 86,211 2023: 86,710 2024: 99,404 RECORD

Any candidate who accepts Musk's money will be repeatedly asked if they think it's a political liability to partner with an open bigot—blatantly racist, unambiguously sexist, egregiously antisemitic, you can pick one of many, many available examples—and if they'll give the money back, right? Right?

Finally got to read it, and more people should. What we're facing is serious and dangerous. "There is no ulterior motive in doubling down on death and deportations. They sincerely believe that the white race, the bearers of civilization, are under existential threat and must defend themselves."

Mark Carney & @MarkJCarney
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari'io, which, appropriately, means "the lake is beautiful, the lake is big".
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario - then, now and always.

The Speaker of the House routinely deflects questions about the president who is in his own party by saying he hadn't heard that particular comment, but every single Democratic candidate is expected to denounce a Twitch streamer?

Millions of people have an absolutely insane concept of “critical thinking” that means “making a fully independent judgment on complex questions you are, if you’re at all honest with yourself, comically incompetent to evaluate & demand years of specialized training.”

The media is desperate to find some reason why Elon Musk's politics are complicated or more sophisticated than they seem, because the simple truth is too ugly for them to admit - an actual Nazi is the world's wealthiest person, and his companies hold substantial American government contracts.

Politicians and pundits giving up human rights of some "in order to win" is like players scoring on their own goal "in order to win." Yes, you're scoring. You've also forgotten the game, and why you're playing, and what winning even is, and you have to be benched in favor of people who remember.

Once women caught on to the fact that far-right guys are lying and gaslighting to get them, of course they are overly cautious about what their dates are saying. They had to learn to decode the euphemisms that those guys use in order to sound "normie" while staying true to their far-right nature

I wrote about the rise and fall of Graham Platner, a candidate whose political appeal rested on him looking like exactly what he turned out to be. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
theguardian.com
Why was the pundit class so quick to defend Graham Platner?
To some of Platner’s most influential backers his swaggering, reckless, and casually brutish masculinity was understood not as a liability, but as a virtue

I sure hope to see the day Musk receives legal punishment proportional with the extent of his murders and damage, done directly to people, and to the political discours, which caused indirect damage to so many as well. Whatever that might look like..

Always pointing out that Elon Musk has deliberately murdered hundreds of thousands of people mostly in the global south and it is estimated that he will have murdered 14 million people via DOGE alone in the next 5 years.

Not AI. Penguin Random House created an unburnable copy of the Handmaid's Tale. Printed on fire-resistant paper and bound with a flame retardant cover, the book was auctioned off. The still is from the promotional video where Atwood took a flamethrower to it. Fuck Gilead. #booksky
